The WTI crude oil prices extend their recent recovery upto the current $71.07 levels, with WTI particularly supported by hurricane risks. Major bearish barrier is foreseen at around $73.50 levels.
Apparently, the energy commodities analysts project more than one million barrels a day of Iran's roughly 2.5 million barrels a day of exports could be at risk. While Washington has contended that countries eliminate their purchases of Iranian oil -0.68%.
Trade recommendation:
To facilitate market participants to more easily manage crude oil price risk, the Exchange provides a trading instrument to complement the futures contract known as Exchange of Futures for Physicals (EFP).
On hedging grounds, we maintain short positions in ICE Brent calendar spread (short ICE Dec 18 vs ICE Dec 19), short NYMEX WTI Sep/Oct’18 time spread and short NYMEX WTI Oct’18 versus long Brent Oct’18 contract.
An EFP allows the exchange of a futures position for a physical position in the underlying cash market. Such a contract is optimal to deliver or receive crude oil from a specifically desired counterparty, that does not necessarily conform to the delivery location or grade specification of our WTI futures contract.
EFPs, which can benefit both sides of a transaction, account for most of the deliveries made against the futures contract. Rather than accepting a randomly matched partner, as would occur through normal clearing procedures, EFPs allow traders to choose their trading partners while retaining anonymity in the market at large.
