Es gibt 100.000 offene Mai-Kontrakte. Aus diesen Kontrakten werden im Mai 100 Millionen Barrel US-Öl geliefert. Fragt sich nur, wohin? Die US-Lager sind jetzt schon ziemlich voll.

...As Bloomberg's Mike McGlone writes, "the greater-than-normal level of open interest in May futures has no place to go but is likely to mark an extreme, if history is a guide."
As of April 17, there were over 100,000 open positions in the May contract, well above the five-year average of about 60,000. What is more striking is that while the May position stops trading at 230pm tomorrow, April 21, only about 2,000 contracts are usually delivered. This time we are looking at 100,000 contracts, or about 100 million barrels of oil. The question, of course, is where does all this oil get delivered in a world where commercial storage is expected to run out as soon as next month?
