Oil ↓

All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.
It can get NSFW-ish here: you have been warned!

First, it not set by the Wall Street speculators looking for a quick buck on the next months futures short or long that you seem so infatuated about. Throw that out the window. Supply/Demand. OPEC used to set the price- but that's 50's years ago. "How is the price set"? "Who determines it and how"? Market economy. Simple as that. Glut due to the virus- low prices. Economy opens up- increased demand. prices rebound. It's really not that hard to fathom. It's been the exact history of the oil business for 180 years. And I'm fixing to go do something else.

the things that you describe set the supply and the demand. the actual price is set by the futures contracts traded on the commodity market. that market is where the two (supply and demand) come together. very few of the people trading futures contracts (percentage) are speculators. most of them are companies buying or selling oil at future prices. do some fucking research on the subject and learn a thing or two.

no. not every one of them. some are speculators selling and then covering themselves by buying back before the contract expires. but that's a small part of it.

i'm frankly a little mind blown that you act as though you are so ingrained in an industry and such an expert on it, and yet you don't even grasp the most simple concept about how the price of oil is set from month to month, day to day, and minute to minute.

Yeah, I get it. It not just the price of oil posted at the end of the day to track. But, you are way overestimating the futures market. It's just way stimulated right now with the virus BS. Normal decades on end, prices month to month are steady as shit depending on the circumstances

this topic is way out of your wheel house. keep thinking that there is some magic store where big companies buy and sell oil. or some street corner they all stand on with barrels in the back of their trucks for sale.

And I'm amazed at your lack of knowledge on how this industry actually works. It's been around almost 2 Centuries. Produce- pipeline -refine- ship. That's your 2 Century model. What Wall Street does with that is no concern here even if we could do anything about it. Capeche?

Whatever, this is done. I'm talking the Supply/ demand world supply that the entire World depends on and your talking some Wall Street BS Long/ short manipulation that nobody cares about in a crisis. Hope some economic classes open soon at your local JC. I'll pay.

Unlike most products, oil prices are not determined entirely by supply, demand and market sentiment toward the physical product. Rather, supply, demand and sentiment toward oil futures contracts, which are traded heavily by speculators, play a dominant role in price determination. Cyclical trends in the commodities market may also play a role.
