Speculation, saturated storage ... Why the barrel of oil fell below zero dollar
US crude oil finished negative for the first time on Monday. Speculative mechanics has seized up, fueled by a fall in consumption of black gold and the saturation of storage capacities.
On the evening of April 20, a barrel of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) was trading at -37 dollars. Concretely, this means that producers pay $ 37 to give their barrel of oil. The petroleum industry holds the year 1859 for its year zero. Never in the history of black gold, the price of a barrel had fallen into negative territory on the futures markets. In just one day, the price of this oil made in the USA and on the New York side literally collapsed, going from 24,59 dollars per barrel of 159 liters to… two dollars at the end of the day, before taking the plunge in the negative and finally appear at -37 dollars a barrel.
