Will oil prices go negative again?

As Finance Magnates previously analysed, May WTI futures contracts went into negative territory as the lockdown measures adopted by the coronavirus pandemic significantly reduced the demand for oil, resulting in much higher supply than demand.

With the settlement of the June WTI futures contract set for the 19th of May 2020, the situation has not improved – lockdown measures are still in place and the demand for oil is still much lower than normal, which has some brokers preparing for further negative prices.

So will history repeat itself? A previous analysis conducted by Finance Magnates shows that whilst no one has a crystal ball and we can’t tell for certain what will happen - there are still many risk factors in place that do make further negative oil prices a possibility. But on the flip side, oil is more supported now and lockdown measures are easing.

Regardless of whether oil prices will go negative again, around the settlement date, which is set for the 19th of May 2020, we are bound to see high levels of volatility, which will likely result in higher trading volumes for the commodity.
