Trading Crude Oil Futures Contracts

If you are looking to trade crude oil then some of the most important data that affects both the US Crude Oil and UK Brent Crude Oil markets are the weekly inventories.

Every week US Oil inventories are released at 15.30 BST and the market often turns into a rollercoaster both before and after the data is released.

If you had been looking at the numbers recently you would have noticed that US Crude has broken through the $84 per barrel marker. In the futures markets it looked like traders hunted down weak short positions until there were none left.

Crude oil is now at its highest level since September 2008. We can certainly expect higher prices in the garages again.

The breaking effect of higher energy costs has not been factored in very much to growth prospects. However the implications for European and US growth are not exactly wonderful. On top of weakened bank lending capacity, higher personal taxation and impending public sector spending cuts we now also have oil climbing inexorably higher.

The UK is very dependent on the mobility of its workforce and commercial fleets. Every squeeze on the price of delivering this will impact growth further down the line.

The $82/84 resistance level for Crude Oil had stood firm for quite some time. At the moment we are grinding steadily higher. If that continues then there may be something of a scramble for commercial consumers to cover their forward risks, ie airlines, haulage etc. We may see prices accelerating higher in the short term.

This said inventories are still looking good. If demand does increase then the supply part of the equation will hopefully give us some leeway.

If you are looking to speculate on the crude oil markets then spread betting offers quick and simple access to both the US Crude Oil and UK Crude Oil (Brent) markets.

Being able to ‘short’ a market provides obvious opportunities. You do not have to speculate on markets to go up. If your analysis suggests that the US Oil market will go down you can speculate on it to go down. If your research indicates that the price of Brent Crude Oil will go up you can spread bet on it to go up.

Also note that spread betting is tax free. Trading profits do not incur stamp duty or capital gains tax*.

So where to trade? The Financial Services Authority regulates the spread betting companies based in the UK.

Note that a number of firms offer the usual benefits of letting you trade outside market hours. Some offer trades on thousands of global markets. Some companies, like InterTrader will also let you trade markets such as the Ftse 100, DAX 30, Crude Oil and Gold from Sunday evening all the way through to Friday evening. Genuine 24 hour trading.

Please note though, with spread betting you can lose more than your initial investment. Before trading, ensure that spread betting matches your investment objectives. Spread bets carry a high level of risk to your capital. Familiarise yourself with the risks involved. Seek independent advice if necessary.

Futures Wheel $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Futures wheel is an instrument for graphical visualisation of direct and indirect future consequences of a particular change or development. It was invented by Jerome C. Glenn in 1971, when he was a student at the Antioch Graduate School of Education (now Antioch University New England).To start a Futures wheel the central term describing the change to evaluate is positioned in the center of the page (or drawing area). Then, events or consequences following directly from that development are positioned around it. Next, the (indirect) consequences of the direct consequences are positioned around the first level consequences. The terms may be connected as nodes in a tree (or even a web). The levels will often be marked by concentric circles. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Contemporary Futures $74.79 In industrial societies imagining the future is a serious business; our assumptions about the future govern the present management of domestic, national and global resources, and are projected, some would say inflicted, on societies whose visions are different. Contemporary Futures focuses not so much on whether the future can be known, but on interpreting the way we and others picture it. The contributors, all social anthropologists, explore the effects that this picture has on the present, on group identity and belief in the self and its survival, on our relationships with other cultures, and on the future itself. They provide a crosscultural perspective on a range of futures visualised at this time and discusses the implications of Author: Wallman, Sandra/ Wallman, Sandra Series Title: Ideas Series Number: 30 Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 256 Publication Date: 1992/12/12 Language: English Dimensions: 6.14 x 9.21 x 0.51 inches

Planning Futures $103.47 Planning theory is currently in a confused state as a consequence of a number of changes over the last ten years in planning practice and social and economic theory. Even prior to these events, planning theory was an uncertain discipline, reflecting plannings precarious position between and resting upon a range of professional subject areas and philosophical roots. Planning Futures is an attempt to pin down the constantly evolving landscape of planning theory and to chart a path through this fast changing field.Planning Futures is an uptodate reader on planning theory, but adds something more to the subject area than a mere textbook. The contributors have attempted to bridge theory and practice while putting forward new theoretical ideas. By drawing upon examples from planning practice and case study scenarios, the authors ensure that the work discusses planning theory within the context of present planning practice. Case studies are drawn from an international arena, from the UK, Europe, South Africa and Australia.
