Seriously tho, ecopolitics? dunno what you mean, but the Russia/Ukraine spat is nothing more than a mismanaged price disagreement. If anything Russia will now over compensate to demonstrate itself a secure supplier to European markets whilst squeezing out what it seems as a politically unacceptable Ukraine. It has zip to do with the price of oil. I think this rally was pure broker hype feeding on a spate of new retail money coming into the market at the start of the year/month. Believe in it if you want, but rule 1 of trading should be "never believe a word your broker tells you".
