So please anybody can explain the fundamentals behind this one week move, in the Dec 11- Dec 12 spread we passed from -1 to +1,86 in a couple of days.. and not just in this spread.. The WTI - Brent Spread (Jan) was ant -3 on Friday.. Is there anything out there what the market is discounting.. something we don`t see but they see.. Thanks Greg
JPope - not sure I follow you here. Please could you elaborate on your idea. If the curve moved back to contango would you not just take off the spread for an easy profit? Or am I missing something? What would you do if the spreads got more inverted?
