"The outlook for oil prices is bleak, but several indicators point to a price rebound," said the WP, citing Michael Tran, managing director of global energy strategy at RBC Capital.
The WP continued, "Economists believe that the White House's 'price cap', which allows the world market at a discounted price for Russian oil, taxation of 'windfall profits' for oil companies, and cuts in federal gas taxes, is ultimately more than easing the US energy crisis.
