Correct, they can pull oil out the ground for under $10 but then they couldn't fund their government, yachts, and other projects.

$4.04. CME says it would be possible for May to trade negative if it gets there



It's about to drop below $4. We may see zero or negative today.

Lowest I saw was $2.99. I am all for cheap oil, but this is concerning.

Will any of this affect someone who is looking to get a job in IE Tech within the next 2 years?

It's traded in the $2's, I don't even know how trading negatives on the market would work, but I'm kinda curious now.. June still holding on around $22

I don't know how June hasn't dropped, oil isn't going to recover 10X in a locked down world in 30 days. Lowest I saw was $2.40, the site I was using can't seem to update the days lows below $4, that is low as their chart goes...

Serious question: if we were to, oh I don’t know...bomb the shite out of some Middle Eastern country right now...would that help stabilize the oil price?

Three things could stabilize or boost the price of oil IMO

1) open the economy back up ASAP

2) a ton of shale companies go bankrupt ASAP

3) World War 3 begins ASAP

Physical prices are all over the board. I have some locked in for April at 21$ a barrel because our purchaser has enough storage available not to shut us in. I know of other people who were already getting 12$ last month due to pipeline access only and not refinery so they have already shut in. Anything over 50 gravity is absolutely F'd right now.

No point to looking at May Futures contracts.

June futures and spot oil @$22-23.

yes, although a really good automation professional will likely be able to keep a job.

I think June is going to the teens, but the May trading is relatively small volume by people caught long that can't take physical delivery or sniff a bid because everyone is in the same boat. May is a shitshow but don't think June immediately jumps down to single digits Just my opinion
