Why Choose this Training Course?
“West Texas Intermediate, the US marker, lost more than 250 per cent on Monday to trade as low as -$40.32 a barrel in a day of chaos in oil markets”-Financial times on 20th April 2020.
This was no fairy tale or horror movie, this is the real thing, it happened that the oil price went into the “subzero” category, which means that the people holding the May 2020 futures do not have the storage and the producers will have to pay for the oil to be taken of their hands.
How did this happen? Why?
Was it the OPEC+, Shale, or is it something else, something that started in 1983, was it maybe a Ponzi scheme in oil trading coming to its inevitable end, or it was geopolitics?
The answer is complex, and it is actually the combination of all of the above and a few other underlying causes that were always there, causes that tend to repeat themselves over the years and people for some reason just refuse to remove them. This 3-day online training course is there to help the people identify these causes, and hopefully manage to remove them in the future, without the need for billions of dollars write offs, layoffs, and market crashes.
