The masses know that all agricultural commodities  are price controlled by government regulatory bodies ...facilitates giving food to starving nations occasionally and/or propping up regional cash flows( cheese ). The price of all resource   commodities is set by the futures market. US bank owned HFT subs now account for 90% of commodity trade volumes  in the futures market per the US government. The banks own the financial institutions and media such as Reuters/Bloomberg/Market Watch. Canadian media depend on Ottawa subsidies to ensure their existence. The media told you that crude oil inventory went up 8 mmbbls ..the financial institutions told you the the $8 drop in crude price was justified . Nobody however told you the gasoline/distillate/jet inventories dropped a massive 19 mmbbls!!! Oil price would have gone up , not down , if you had been told not just the half truth. The banks made $billions over the last weeks as a result. Canada got cheated out of $billions .
