How do crude-oil futures prices in commodity markets translate into big oil-company costs?
Q. Speculation on the commodity exchanges is driven by feelings of concern about political events and other external factors. The cost of crude oil to refineries is determined by actual supply and demand conditions in an entirely different market. Often long-term contracts between the few major oil companies and foreign governments set the cost of crude. Why then is every speculator-driven uptick in oil-commodity-futures prices reflected in higher gasoline prices at the pump? I don't understand the link between the two markets. Can anyone explain this to me?

A. Are you kidding I am in the process of purchasing huge amounts of the ghettos in the Philly area in order to have ocean front property when the ocean rises. Al Gore promised us warmer weather and rising sea levels. I intend to capitalize on the climate change. If it turns out Al Gore lied to us and I end up with a bunch of worthless property in Philly then I will sue Al Gore for making us believe in something that did not happen. Either way I make a mint. By the way would you like to by some carbon credits? I am running a special this week, a bakers dozen for the price of ten, that is a $15,000.00 dollar savings.

Do you think stock and commodity markets basically meet the requirements for competitive markets?
Q. has to deal with economics
Asked by blondiebrii - Tue Apr 17 18:14:46 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Stock and commodity markets are highly competitive because they involve many knowledgable buyers and sellers, provide a lot of information, and the information travels through the markets rapidly. These are some of the most efficient markets, although inefficiencies can develop in them. When inefficiencies occur, they are quickly removed by the action of market participants who try to take advantage of them.

A. The capital market (securities markets) is the market for securities, where companies and the government can raise long-term funds. The capital market includes the stock market and the bond market. Financial regulators, such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, oversee the capital markets in their respective countries to ensure that investors are protected against fraud. The capital markets consist of the primary market, where new issues are distributed to investors, and the secondary market, where existing securities are traded. Commodity markets are markets where raw or primary products are exchanged. These raw commodities are traded on regulated commodities exchanges, in which they are bought and sold in standardized… [cont.]

Bush gets lesson in commodity markets from his friends in Saudi Arabia?
Q. "Bush got a chilly response to his plea. The kingdom said it would increase production only when the market justified it, and that production levels appeared normal."--AP Let's see... oil demand is marginally up, but then so is production, with surplus margins about the same as ever, but if we look at demand for oil futures contracts as driven by commodity index derrivatives, those are up 380% in the last 24 months. Oil demand and supply up a bit, investor demand for commodity contracts up gigantically. Do you think the Saudi princes rolled their eyes?

A. Possibly. But it's just as likely he understands why oil is high right now and his plea to the King was something else. The Bush family's ties to Saudi royalty are very close. In fact Bush was tutored in foreign policy by the Saudi foreign minister before Bush's 2000 election, since he knew nothing about foreign policy. To me the salient question is "Why did Bush publicize his plea to the Saudi King for more oil production?" Clearly, Bush knew what the answer was before he made his plea public to the American public. And clearly, Bush could have kept his plea a secret (if you believe it really was a genuine plea). Bush wants to be seen on the side of American consumers, while the price of oil escalates. It was so important to him, that… [cont.]

A. When you ask about Commodity exchages I have to assume two things either you know more about other type of exchanges or you don't know much about any exchanges. I shall assume the latter so that many lines of answer can be avoided. An exchange is a place where the buyers and sellers of a financial product, commodity, precious metal, bonds etc; come together to bargain on a best price on which they can execute either a sale or a buy. In commodity exchanges this is what happens buyers and sellers of either corn, soya, hog, maize all USA and in India rubber, cardamom, pepper, groundnut, dal etc; come together to make the buy or sale on bargained prices. In each of the above there is a specified quantity for each like a bushel of wheat or… [cont.]

Asked by seyed - Sat Feb 13 11:44:13 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If you buy a contract that specifies delivery and do not sell before it executes, then yes, you are expected to take delivery. Do you own a large oil tank near a pipeline? You're going to need one if you own a contract for crude and it executes. Of course, that means you bought 1000 barrels at around $70.00/bbl and if you have that kind of money to throw around, I doubt seriously you would seek advice on Yahoo Answers. If you simply bought an option, then that is completely different. If you own the option to buy (or sell, for that matter) then there is no obligation to exercise. You can always sell the option or let it expire.

A. The dog is cute, but hedging is not exclusive to managing risk against future cost increases. Hedging can also be applied to protect downside risk. Hedging can be used many other ways. One could use options, futures, short selling, and other methods to mitigate risk. Example: Position: You're long oil. Concern: Near term down side risk. Possible Solution: Buy put options on oil to hedge risk of short term price fluctuations in the negative. Example 2: Business: Airlines Biggest Expense: Jet Fuel Concern: Rising cost of jet fuel.

A. You will need credibility beyond your own self assessment. Current clients is one source. Writing a newsletter where you are on record with your strategy and it has worked out in time is also a good way. Back-testing is useful, if it is done with proper methods, but few people understand how to do it and how to prove it is not just "curve fitting." Getting rich people to trust you with their money is primarily via word of mouth. This has it's risk for them, however. Think Bernie Madoff. If you have one among your clients, that's a good start. If you don't, there are ways to do it beyond the scope of this answer.

Asked by ram - Thu Nov 5 00:30:11 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Equities is a commonly used term for stock in a company. Examples would be stock in companies such as IBM, Microsoft, or Apple. Commodities are physical or tangible products which are sold typically through a contract for future delivery, or what we call futures. Examples would be soybean futures, corn futures, coffee, milk, butter, lumber, lean hogs, live cattle, etc. When you buy a stock, you are buying a small piece of ownership of a company, although the company just views you as an unsecured creditor, which is why the owners of GM stock were wiped out in the bankruptcy. When you buy a commodity futures contract, you are buying the obligation to take delivery of the physical goods unless you sell the futures contract to someone else… [cont.]
