Clarke Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 How can there be such a difference between Brent & WTI ? Wouldn't demand come towards WTI & supply towards Brent and eventually both prices would be close to each other ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For June delivery (ie the stuff being produced today) its like $20 still. It's basically a clearance sale for the inventory and several countries refusing to cut production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will not be a large scale full blown war. It will only lead to further disaster, instead USA and other countries would want treatments/vaccine to show up MechEng 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhakum20 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 ^^velu good catch, never knew about this lower limit. Look how much volume there is in back months, A longstanding singaporean oil trading firm blew up with $4B in losses. The boss kept going long thinking markets will recover quickly from the virus. Goes to show why trading against the trend is a stupid idea, even if you have millions in the bank. Trading with momentum is where the money's made, especially if you know how to add to positions ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velu Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 MCX crudeo oil april contract closed at -2284 i think margin for 1 crude oil future was 15/16k ... yesterday might be from 25k to 65k depending on the broker .. whoever bought for 1000rs with 15k margin will be at a loss of 4L https://www.mcxindia.com/docs/default-source/circulars/english/2020/april/circular-282-2020.pdf?sfvrsn=b7598990_0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
