这里没太明白内在的逻辑

NO.PZ2020012005000037

问题如下:

“If news reaches the market that the price of oil will almost certainly increase by 20% in three months, the price will increase immediately. If news reaches the market that the price will almost certainly decrease by 20% in the next three months, the price does not necessarily decrease immediately.” Discuss this statement.

解释:

If oil prices are expected to increase sharply, speculators will buy oil and store it. This means that the price will rise until the financing cost plus the storage cost equals the expected profit. If oil prices are expected to fall sharply, there is no similar trade involving spot oil because those who hold oil in inventory need it to feed their refineries.


石油价格下跌,炼油厂已经有石油库存了,还要练更多的石油储存起来?

嗨,努力学习的PZer你好:


当预期油价将大幅下跌时,不会出现类似投机者购买并储存石油的现象,原因在于几个关键点:

成本与风险不对称:当预期价格上涨时,投机者通过购买并储存石油可以在未来价格上升时卖出,赚取差价。此时,融资成本(借款购买石油的资金利息)和存储成本(保管石油的费用)可以从预期的油价上涨中得到补偿。然而,当预期价格下跌时,即使以当前较低价格购入石油,未来价格进一步下跌将导致持有成本(融资和存储成本)无法通过价格上涨的预期收益来覆盖,反而可能导致亏损。

实际需求约束:对于炼油厂和其他实际使用石油的企业来说,他们持有石油库存主要是为了满足日常运营需要,而非作为纯粹的金融投资。即便预期油价会下跌,他们仍需保证有足够的原料供应来维持生产,不能简单地减少库存等待价格更低时再购入,因为这会影响其正常运营。
