Earlier this week we've started seeing articles noting that oil prices have now gone into the negatives (meaning investors are paying to give away their oil).
What is going on here? How does this make sense?
As always with these weird and wonderful things, it's all basic economics. And to properly understand this, we're going to need to look at 3 things: Negative value items, the 2020 oil market, and how oil is actually sold!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    *Delmini* Coved-19 has caused a glut of oil due to some Industry shut downs, travel bans on International and Domestic Air routes, and even to domestic travel in vehicles for holidays away. 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...

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.

    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.

    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
