Risks of Oil Investing and Energy Derivatives

Spot Crude Oil Trading

As one of the most potentially profitable financial markets in the world, online crude oil trading is becoming increasingly popular with all types of traders and speculators.

Due to their price transparency and extreme liquidity, crude oil contracts are used as main international pricing benchmarks. Crude oil futures (and options) are also a good way for companies in the energy industry - on the production side as well as on the consumption side –to hedge their price risk and protect themselves against adverse price movements.

Volatility

Due to a record demand for oil throughout the world, increasing political tensions surrounding Iran’s nuclear program and various other global and local issues, crude oil prices have been breaking new records on a quasi-daily basis. In recent years, the high volatility of crude futures has made crude oil trading an investment with an extremely interesting potential return.
