Crude oil now $0.01 per barrel

So what does this mean?

Right and its for West Texas Crude which is primarily USA based but... lets' say the contract goes up to $10... is that a feasible number for US oil to survive? I dunnnooooo.

The monthly futures contract expires tomorrow. You have ETF's and other funds trading/holding those contracts and they are selling. Owning a futures contract is a contract to take physical delivery of the oil which of course nobody wants so they are rushing to sell rather than take delivery. Think Trading Places... "get back in there and sell"

And keep in mind this is for WTI (oil benchmark here in the US). Brent is still $25.70 so this is a unique situation in the US futures markets.

Light traffic due to covid, not a lot of cops on patrol, super cheap premium gas and and a thirsty super charged Corvette, all signs point to.... I’m gonna have some fun this weekend!
