Koronaviruset ser plutselig ut til å ha blitt en ikke-sak og verdens børser eksploderer samtidig som noen faktisk får betalt for å ta imot olje... Er det dette som er lukten av økonomisk vekst?

NB! Ser nå at artikkelen jeg sakser fra her under ikke er helt fersk slik jeg trodde, men datert 30.mars, men likevel... ingen skal fortelle meg at etterspørsel etter olje real-time er spesielt mye større enn for en uke siden.

Currently, there are a few out-of-the-way places in smaller oil markets where stories of negatively priced crude are happening now. As Goldman Sachs wrote today, “the demand shock is extremely negative for oil prices and is sending landlocked crude prices into negative territory.”

In other words, producers pay someone to take the crude, rather than get paid for it. Why would they do that? Because it’s expensive to shut down or reopen a well, and may actually be cheaper to simply pay someone to remove it, especially if you believe prices may turn higher in a few months.
