Oil Curve Shift Shows Fears of Protracted Mideast Conflict
(Bloomberg) -- The oil futures curve is strengthening on concerns that Israel's latest strike on Iran could have severe and long-lasting repercussions. Shuttered NY College Has Alumni Fighting Over Its Future Trump's Military Parade Has Washington Bracing for Tanks and Weaponry NYC Renters Brace for Price Hikes After Broker-Fee Ban Do World's Fairs Still Matter? NY Long Island Rail Service Resumes After Grand Central Fire Front-month Brent prices have spiked by as much as 13%, but there's also movement for contracts further out with timespreads rallying. The so-called smile or hockey stick pattern that's characterized the shape of the futures curve for months — featuring a contango structure and signaling loose balances in the long term — has now all but disappeared. The widely watched spread between the two nearest December contracts for Brent, a favorite marker for traders pricing in oil's long-term prospects, was around $2.30 a barrel in backwardation late morning in Singapore, with the shorter-dated contract at a premium over the later one. It's flipped sharply from the contango it's been in over the last two months. Other timespreads are also rallying, with Brent's prompt spread, the gap between the two nearest months, rising to as wide as $4 a barrel to reach the highest since 2022 on an intraday basis. The three-month and six-month spreads are all also stronger. That's been accompanied by volumes that are a lot higher than usual in the Asian session. Meanwhile, oil options are also at their most bullish in years, although that could change as the Asia session gives way to London and New York trading hours. A gauge of implied volatility was also higher. 'In a scenario where we see continued escalation, there's the potential for disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz,' which is an extreme case but could leave the roughly 14 million barrels a day of oil that flows through it at risk, said Warren Patterson, head of commodities strategy at ING Groep NV in Singapore. 'A significant disruption to these flows would be enough to push prices to $120 a barrel.' Brent futures were last trading near $75 a barrel.
