Oil prices: unwinding contango storage in the US
Loading current market price
Report summary
A contango futures market provides risk management companies (RMC) with the economic incentive to hold inventory in an oversupplied market. Buying and storing physical crude oil in Cushing, OK while selling deferred WTI futures contracts is an excellent example of crude oil contango storage. As the crude oil market rebalances and the risk of holding inventory is reduced, the difference between physical crude oil price and the deferred futures contract price will decrease.
