Andrew Ross Sorkin challenged GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen on how $GME has enough financing to acquire $EBAY






*OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM SLIPS TO SESSION LOW AS CEO TO RETIRE


Why is non-op hedging at 55% and wiping out their quarter? As a commodity business, failing to make money when good things happen is very bad.

Brent futures in the mid-$90s. Physical cargoes landing in Asia at $170/bbl. Dated Brent above $140. The gap between paper and physical crude prices has widened to levels that are distorting refining economics, hedging strategies and procurement decisions globally. In our latest blog, we break down what is driving the disconnect: reduced risk budgets, raised margin requirements, hedging dislocations and procurement cycle mismatches. We also explain why the convergence, when it comes, will start with products, not crude. See what’s driving the disconnect: ow.ly/MYFe50YOpXy #EnergyAspects #Crude #OOTT #Brent


Charting the Brent complex today to add some context to the numbers bouncing around. Pretty well everything weird in the current oil market can be explained via *extreme* backwardation (i.e., near-term delivery premia), and as you can see the intense futures curve backwardation extends into even more acute backwardation in the physical Brent CFD pricing curve. Keep in mind that physical deliveries are currently going for ~$20/bbl *over* Dated Brent atm, representing yet more backwardation through to final delivery and yielding ~$150/bbl physical crude acquisition price. Brent phys traders please do share your feedbacks on anything critical I've glossed over (or how best to visualize that physical delivery premia)
