CRUDE OIL (1 BBL)
High oil prices are caused by high demand, low supply, OPEC quotas, or a drop in the dollar’s value. Demand for oil and gas follow a predictable seasonal swing. Demand rises in the spring and summer due to increased driving for summer vacations. Demand drops in the autumn and winter. Even though heating oil use rises in the winter, it’s not enough to offset the post-vacation drop in gasoline demand. Commodity futures traders anticipate increased demand. They usually start bidding oil prices higher in January or February. Between 2017 and 2018, around 50% of gas prices were based on oil prices. This number went as high as 70% in 2011. Low supply occurs when war or natural disasters curtail exports from oil-producing countries. Traders often bid up prices when they hear of impending disasters or the threat of war. Oil prices decline once production resumes
