Trading opportunity
View the above products and explore the potentials of new trading opportunities in the financial markets. Energy CFDs are popular amongst short-term traders, especially when there is a surge in energy consumption, as there is a significant increase in demand. Prices are determined by both global supply and demand for physical products.
Monetary value
Oil is often referred to as “black gold” and is normally denominated in US dollars (thus the term “petrodollar”), so at times of a weak dollar usually leads to higher oil prices, as product prices are directly affected by the value of the currency.
Crude oil quantity
Oil-producing countries have a significant influence on both supply and demand, as they can withdraw or increase the amount of physical crude oil on the market.
Market impact
For instance, since the mid-90s, US sanctions on Iran have prevented Iranian oil from entering the market, widening the gap between supply and demand and therefore causing oil prices to rise. Another notable event was in 2014, when demand in the EU and China plummeted due to oversupply. The US government has been improving its oil reserves for many years, and if these reserves were one day released to the global market or put to local use, energy prices could fall significantly as a result.
