Trading in oil futures is now as heavy as it was in the first months of the COVID-19 crisis, according to market data and analysts, with oil bulls and bears rushing to hedge against jolts in the steady rise of prices.

“What makes the current situation so pronounced is ... the duration of uncertainty around how the resolution will pan out,” said Marc Rowell, senior energy broker at Britannia Global Markets. Oil market participants engage in futures trading to mitigate risks by price changes to their business - producers generally use short positions to protect themselves from price increases while consumers use longs to hedge against decreases.

“The potential for continued crude oil price increases is an incentive for physical market buyers to secure a contract rate at present levels in case prices continue to rise.”Underscoring the instability is a disconnect between the four-month surge in the futures price and slow physical crude sales - with global demand expected to match supply only later in 2021.

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about DennisWilliam56 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

All this is just so much bullshit. The spike in the oil prices is the industry's direct attack against President Biden for his support for alternative energy sources. There is no big to-do going on here they are attacking him because he supports Alternative Energy
