WTI Crude Index = Negative | Spot price = Negative | What's next?

Hey,

I guess that all of you monkeys have just seen that something unprecedented happening in the Oil market. Where do you see the situation developing further? Drastically cutting the oil supply? Stopping the contracts market?

Interested in your thoughts, especially those in commodities trading, and Oil & Gas bankers.

They are the May futures for Light Sweet Crude Oil. They expire tomorrow so anyone left holding long is expected to take delivery. Also be careful with the media coverage on this story, people were quoting Bloomberg by saying that USO held 25% of the CLK contracts outstanding today when they actually held CLM.
