and who pays the difference?
>>62776550Not your barrels not your oil, same with cexes, zero reserve meme shit.
>>62776559You sound dumb
>>62776550You can fondle physical oil you can hug it to sleep you can hold it on hand, it do not generate income, unlike future oil has income generating feature.
>>62776550>who pays the difference?the person buying the oil? what do you mean
>>62776550Nobody. The futures are cash-settled. They are basically fantasy-land futures. In a "normal" world, the futures market would crash. In 2026 clown maymay world, I have no idea what's gonna happen, but it's probably gonna suck.
>>62776682What I mean is: who are the people selling oil futures at delusional discounts?
Futures are mostly used by physical buyers as a hedge. Buyers often order the oil weeks or months in advance and pay whatever the price per barrel is upon delivery. If they want to lock in todays price instead of gambling on what the price might be in 2-3 months upon delivery, they will open an equivalent short in the futures market. When a shitton of oil buyers all do this, you'll see a pretty big spread between physical and futures
>>62776778If you want to lock in price, wouldn't you normally do that by buying a futures contract?
>>62776632U sound nigger
>>62776550This future thing is completely ripoff.
