Gold, Oil & Indices (Equity & Bond Indices)

I know this is a fundamental question, rather than technical but...

Can someone explain to me plain simple - given where BDI/ BCI indexes are, one would presume it is only --what, a couple of bucks per barrel ? - to take oil around the Cape rather than through the Suez channel. So, why all the fuss and skyhigh Brent?

DaveO, right. Mentioned that gold triangle yesterday. I thought nobody paid attention however.

I still favour the long side on CL unless 89.30 to 88.60 is broken

usikpa, no.
