When it comes to rumors the most important thing we need to know is the source of those rumors, if we were talking about a leader of a country which is an important producer of oil then we may give some weight to the rumor and ponder about how likely it is we come close to that price and what will be the consequences of it?

However, if the source is just something that we read online without anything to backup the story, then I do not see the reason to give it any importance at all and we must disregard it as just another case of fake news.
