My point that all producers will and are suffering from the drop in WTI and Brent is to do a relative comparison of TAP to NZO. TAP was 70 cents when NZO was 80. Now TAp is 45.5 so where would NZO be at that same fall.
Simple ratio has it at 52.5 cents.
70/45.5 = 80/x
X then equals 52 cents.
So NZO faired the storm better than TAP.
On average NZO will fall one cent for every two dollar fall in WTI.
But I must say AK would be flattered to think he had as much influence as some posters are suggesting. It all comes down to world events. And yes it hurts but AK has nothing to do with it. Try Putin.
