Crude Oil Futures & The Future Of Renewable Energy

May 27, 2025

Crude oil futures play a critical role in global financial markets, serving as a benchmark for oil prices and a tool for indicating volatility in the energy sector. However, as the world accelerates its transition toward renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydro-electricity, the dynamics that influence crude oil prices are beginning to shift.

Common Data Misconceptions

September 27, 2024

Some commodities are naturally thin. This means that comparing the filesize of Crude Oil, which is a highly liquid market, and may have multi-millions of trading events within a day, will not be the same as comparing it to a highly illiquid commodity, such as the Korean Won, which may only have several trades per day, if that.
