Good read on oil backwardation

The premium for front-month U.S. crude oil futures over the second-month contract widened to its highest since October on Wednesday, LSEG data showed, as stocks at the WTI delivery point, Cushing, Oklahoma, fell last week to a three-month low.

The market structure called backwardation means investors can sell their oil at a higher price in the spot market, rather than for less profit next month, a sign that supply is tighter.

WTI crude futures for August delivery settled at $82.85 per barrel on Wednesday, while the September contract settled at $81.44 per barrel, creating a $1.61 premium for prompt barrels.
