Early Wednesday morning in Europe, Bloomberg quotes oil futures data to hint at the tightening in the market.
“A vital corner of the crude market is flashing increasingly bullish signs, even as oil futures whipsawed with investors digesting the latest updates from the developing situation between Russia and Ukraine,” states the news.
The premium of Brent oil’s front-month contract to the second month -- known as prompt timespread -- expanded further after reaching the widest bullish backwardation structure since 2019 earlier this week.
Spreads are typically a good indicator of underlying supply-demand dynamics, while individual futures contracts can gyrate on jitters including geopolitical risks.
Physical oil markets across the world have tightened as stockpiles dwindle and consumption rebounds.
While American producers are boosting output as futures near $100 a barrel, OPEC+ suppliers are consistently falling behind their output targets.
Demand has improved as more economies reopen, though energy costs and inflation may soon rise to levels that erode use.
The news joins comments from Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Fatih Birol to help WTI crude oil to stay mildly bid around $90.50. That said, EIA’s Birol mentioned, “Hope additional oil output from the US and Brazil will ease pressure on prices.”
Also supporting oil prices could be comments from Ukraine Defense Minister who said, “Latest threat assessments are consistent with earlier views and do not contain anything unexpected.”

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
