The only way I can understand this: -i have too much, running out of space, take it for free -no, I have enough, and it takes resources to pick it up - I'll pay your travel costs -okay

[@thorin1045]

Mostly, they agreed on a price weeks or maybe months ago, and suddenly that price is total bullshit, and to make it worse, they agreed, if they cannot sell the stuff, they have to store it, and suddenly nobody wants it. It is the filling up of a pipeline. In the case of oil, sometimes even a literal pipeline. And our current economy made the pipeline sensible with much longer than wider, so to make a balanced trade, you need to know weeks or months before the amount of demand, to create the supply in time, but in two months, our demand plummeted like a rock, probably the greatest oil demand reduction pretty much ever, and the pipeline is filling up with the speed of the expected demand of two month ago. Our storage capacity is also limited, since it will go bad, quickly.

[@Kenionatus]

The really important part is that the drilling companies have not incentive to stop producing more crude oil because they get paid the prices agreed upon before the covid 19 crisis and that the other end of those contracts need somewhere to store all that oil they get delivered.

[@romasromas73]

thanks for saving me 20 mins

[@spamsam99]

Its like this - the speculator/investor buys a future contract for deliver of x amount of oil at a future date for a set price. He never intends to take delivery of the oil, but just wants to profit from a rise in the price of oil so he can onsell his contract to someone who actually wants delivery. If the price of oil fell a bit he can still sell the contract at a small loss. But in this case a lot of speculators had bet on oil going higher and all wanted to sell their contracts at once. The buyers kept dropping the price they would be willing to pay - then realising that there is no storage for the oil, they also did not want it - so the price went negative - you had to pay the buyer to take the oil. Apparently you must take delivery if you hold the contract, you cannot refuse it, so it becomes a problem that is going to cost you to make it go away; as it did in this case of negative valuations.

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

You forgot to add the following after the travel cost: -no, It also takes resources to store it - I’ll pay your travel costs AND storage costs - okay

The irony is of course, is just when one is well able to afford filling the family car, we're told to stay home. What I cannot understand, is all these headlines bemoaning the fact that the World is running short of where to store the bloody oil. Maybe I'm missing something, but is there some logical reason why we cannot shut down the wells pumping it out?. HELLO!, time to turn off the taps baby, and go home...

[@nerobernardino88]

@@filippkhan3935 Are you forgetting how Russia and Saudi Arabia went ballistic on their oil production? This is a two-faced crisis, one caused by the kyogre attack (Covid) and the other is the direct result of the pyrrhic fight between the two aforementioned powers in the oil market.

[@nerobernardino88]

@@davidhamilton506 There is a logical reason though. Russia and Saudi Arabia are going ham on each other since their negotiations broke down. The rest of the world may shut their wells but that would result in an overdependence (as if the previous state of affairs isn't bad enough) on one or both powers. They (the two nations) won't cut their production because that's their weapon against each other and I wouldn't be surprised if they kept ramping up output even more until one or both comes crashing down.

I would guess that it's non-participants participating in the market (people not in the oil industry buying and selling oil contracts without the physical capability to fulfill those contracts) and removing pricing incentives from oil producers. When oil exports from Russia and OPEC spiked, the most expensive oil producers (many of whom are American producers) should have shut down their wells immediately. Instead they kept on pumping because they had a contract to fill, despite there being no demand for the oil they were contractually required to produce.

Thank you for the video. As always I found it very interesting, but I have an issue regarding the second part of the video (Pump and Dump). Most articles I read indicate that there were three major actors who contributed to situation on the oil market: Russia, OPEC and the US. Summarily put, what I read was that US producers pumped massive amount of oil to have the US dominate the market. The OPEC and Russia refused to stand down, and increased production in a defensive move. The increase in production led to the fall of prices, and ultimately the negative price situation when the production war met the virus. So why did you not mention the US at all in your video ? Why was everything pegged on Russia and the OPEC ? I hope I understood something wrong, because I am confused and questioning the reliability of information on your channel.

This is not widely reported in the media, but you are correct the US has been dumping since February 2017 as per US government data: www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=pet&s=mcrexus2&f=m

It makes a lot of sense since it’s reported here in the UK that it’s specifically Texan Oil that’s reached Negative pricing. Texan oil primarily travels via pipelines and the main buyer is the US. Russian and Saudi oil doesn’t have this problem since they can be transported to net importer countries as usual. Texan oil doesn’t get exported as much so it costs to transport it thus the negative price

[@matthewdupree3573]

What you are referring to is the 2014 dip in oil prices. As US shale companies started producing more and as hydraulic fracturing became more profitable, US output rose significantly. Saudi decided to maintain market share instead of cutting supply to maintain price as it often does. This tanked oil prices from over 100$/bbl to 30$/bbl WTI. Ultimately this is a battle that Saudi backed down on which led to the movement back to 60$ oil in the previous years. Coronavirus presented itself as a prime opportunity to try to harm US production again. This downturn was specifically decided by Saudi and Russia. www.macrotrends.net/2516/wti-crude-oil-prices-10-year-daily-chart

Can somehow explain how a future contract has value? I mean, if I agree with a person to buy item X for Y amount of money (considering Y is a very fair and average price) then I will have to pay Y amount of money on average. So it shouldn't in general have a market value hovering around $0? (sometimes there are more people who think it will go up, and other times there are more people who think it will go down). So my question is: why is a future contract, on average over time (under normal circumstances) traded for money? Like if I buy the contract for Z amount, I now have to pay both Y and Z!

Tthecreator you dont paid double, once you buy a futures contract, you own it and wait for for the expiry date and exchange

P/F formula

[@slappy8941]

A futures contract is a promise by the seller to let the buyer have a commodity at a set price on a specific date. If on that date the current market price is higher than the contract price, the buyer completes the trade and makes a profit, but if the current market price is lower, then the buyer can choose to let the trade expire worthless, and the seller keeps the premium that the buyer paid to initiate the contract. A buyer may also sell the contract at any time up to the completion date.

@@DuyPham-xd8lp so you mean the price of the contract is the price of the goods, payed at the beginning when the contract is made/sold and then the goods are exchanged later when the contract expires?

[@wybo2]

Because you believe it will be worth more by the time the boat arrives than what the current owner is willing to sell it for. This obviously assumes that the current owner thinks he will get a better price by selling to some dumbass derivative trader right now than by holding on to it and selling it later, when the boat arrives.

Very beautiful made and explained videos. Keep up the good work 👍

8:52 This is in fact incorrect. Since currently oil prices are negative and petrolium prices are positive, their quotient is negative. Thus it's less than 4.

All I've learned from economics explains is that everything they taught me in school was true, but it's even more complicated in how humans are irrational

Thank you for another great explanation. I'm slowly gathering a bunch of questions that I hope are worthy of your thoughts. So sometime soon I'll pop into discord.
