Futures indicate supply improvement while physical prices remain high, Javier Blas notes
Futures signal supply improvement soon

Oil futures are currently pricing in a significant improvement in supply over the next several weeks, even as physical oil quotes remain elevated. Javier Blas highlights that if the market begins to factor in a much longer disruption, oil futures could rise significantly.

The difference between high spot prices and more tempered futures prices underscores the market's expectation of increased supply shortly. However, any new developments that extend disruptions may rapidly change this outlook.

Javier Blas has recently noted that the current energy shock has had a limited effect on U.S. natural gas prices, a factor crucial for industries and inflation. Earlier, he reported that Saudi Arabia booked super oil tankers at daily rates above $450,000 to move crude from the Red Sea to global markets. These developments provide additional context to current pricing in oil futures.
