An energy trader’s week.
The US publishes inventory and rig-count data on a fixed weekly schedule, and prices may move quickly around releases. Times below are converted from US Eastern Time to Beijing time, with daylight saving handled automatically.
Release times follow the regular schedule and may be postponed for US holidays. OPEC+ meetings are held irregularly; please watch for official announcements.
What drives energy prices.
Energy is highly sensitive to supply and demand; changes in production, inventories, transport and weather are quickly reflected in prices.
OPEC+ production policy
Decisions by major producers to raise or cut output directly change expectations for global crude supply.
Inventory data
Weekly inventories above or below expectations often trigger short-term moves.
Geopolitics and shipping
Conditions in producing regions and passage through key shipping lanes affect the supply risk premium.
Seasons and weather
Winter heating, summer power demand and hurricane season have a particularly marked effect on natural gas.
Understanding the futures curve and rollover.
Energy CFD prices usually reference futures contracts. Prices for different expiry months form a curve, and before the front-month contract expires, positions move to the next month — known as “rollover”.
- Contango: far-month prices are above near-month prices, usually when supply is ample
- Backwardation: near-month prices are above far-month prices, usually when supply is tight
- Price adjustments may occur at rollover; check the rollover schedule in the product specifications before holding positions
