If 240 million barrels are expected to flood the market, then it would be logical to assume that the oil will be sold more cheaply than when there was no 240 million. The bids close tomorrow on the first segment.
I understand that but that process will continue over the next six months so why would oil spike back up after the 12th? If it does, it should be only temporarily and go back down again when next month's release and bidding contracts are set to resume. In other words, isn't the price of oil capped to a certain extent over the next six months?
