How the Pentagon Is Buying Oil Reserves Like a Strategic Hedge Fund

With Brent crude just breached $90 and Iran threatening Hormuz, the Pentagon's Defense Logistics Agency is quietly stockpiling jet fuel and marine diesel at a scale that would make a hedge fund blush. Lucas and Luna break down how the military now uses options on fuel purchases, strategic underground storage at the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and multi-year fixed-price contracts to insulate itself from the very volatility Congress is panicking about. Specific numbers: the DLA's annual fuel budget tops $12 billion, and its jet fuel inventory alone is enough to keep every F-35 in the air for 105 consecutive days. Plus: what this means for defense contractors like Lockheed Martin (down 2.3% this week) and Huntington Ingalls (down 5.5%) when oil shocks hit their supply chains. A rare look at the Pentagon as energy trader — not just consumer. #Pentagon #OilReserves #DefenseLogistics #BrentCrude #StrategicPetroleumReserve #JetFuel #DLA #EnergySecurity #GlobalSupplyChain #Iran #Hormuz #MilitaryTech #DefenseContractors #LMT #HII #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
