While the demonstrations were in full swing, the crude oil futures market was like a pool of stagnant water, which seemed particularly quiet.

At 8 p.m., when the crowd of people at the rally and demonstration began to dwindle, Pu Ruo and Guan Qiu rushed to Wales Futures.

U.S. crude oil futures are traded 24 hours a day, commonly known as "over-the-counter electronic trading", while on-site seat trading is open during the day and closed at night.

There is a big difference between on-exchange trading and over-the-counter trading in terms of trading hours, margin ratios, and trading systems, and from a global perspective, the scale of over-the-counter transactions is much larger than that of on-exchange trading.

Fifth Avenue, Wells Futures Bank.

North American crude oil prices have been stuck at $39.56 a barrel for half an hour, up or down no more than 10 cents.

Pu Ruo stared at the electronic LCD screen on the wall, his brows furrowed.

The trading room is also extraordinarily quiet, quite a smell of mountain rain coming and the wind is full of buildings.

Of the $3 million on paper, less than $2 million is now left, with a net loss of more than 30%. This is also the reason why the leverage is open to the bottom and the stop loss line is high, if it is not the case, there may not be a penny left.

"It's time to start clearing the field~"

Pu Ruo turned his head and glanced at Guan Qiu at the root of the back wall, and then immediately said: "All clear, short!" ”

The six men and women sitting in front of the computer lined up and quickly operated.

At this moment, someone exclaimed: "The prices of all energy products have started to fall." ”

"The price of crude oil is $39.55. ”

"$39.48. ”

"$39.33 ......"

Pu Ruo's speed is not fast, after feeling the strange changes in the market, he quickly made a correct judgment, and after clearing the position, several consecutive short orders were hung up.

Five minutes later, the price of crude oil fell from $39.56 per barrel to $39.16 per barrel, and then the price continued to decline.

1000 lots of short orders;

2000 lots of short orders;

3000 short lots;

Continue to go short.

$5 million;

$10 million;

$20 million;

Leveraged allocation is stacked to 20 times;

Then continue to increase to 50 times;

80 times;

100 times;

Except for Pu Ruo, even Guan Qiu held his breath.

$20 million, 100 times leverage, is equivalent to $1.98 billion, at this time, even if the price of crude oil rises by a few cents, $20 million will be blown up.

When Guan Qiu's heart was about to raise his throat, North American crude oil prices continued to fall, falling from $38.16 per barrel to $37.94 per barrel.

At 9:15 p.m., crude oil prices fell to $38.25 a barrel;

At 9:35, the price of crude oil fell to $38.13 per barrel;

At 10:01, the price of crude oil fell to $37.88 per barrel.

By this time, crude oil prices had a small wave of volatility, giving back 3 cents before remaining at $37.54 a barrel.

Just when the needles could be heard in the entire trading room, Pu Ruo said loudly: "Close the position immediately, idle more, 3000 hands." ”

The crackling keyboard sounded in the trading room.

Before the market oscillated again, all the short orders were cleared, and the long orders were hung again, and the most conservative operation method was chosen as before.

There was silence in the trading room for a few seconds, and everyone jumped up.

"Wow, that's so handsome~"

"Hahaha, amazing~"

"If this operation is taken out, it can definitely be called a textbook trading demonstration. ”

"Boss Park, you will be my idol in the future......"

Everyone gathered around Pu Ruo and said excitedly.

Pu Ruo was also excited.

Although I have experience in the operation of large-scale funds, after all, the amount of capital allocation is not as high as today, and it is still constrained by investors, so I dare not be too unscrupulous.

But Guan Qiu's complete trust gave her the opportunity to give it a go, and she had a long and short opportunity with those international capital predators.

Such an opportunity is so rare.

Guan Qiu waited for them to finish being happy before asking, "That...... Can you tell me how much you made on this order?"

Pu Ruo didn't speak, and the deputy, a man named Zhang Haoxuan, couldn't suppress his excitement and said with a smile: "Excluding the handling fee, it's probably less than 60 million US dollars." ”

Guan Qiu: "......"

Pu Ruo poured cold water and said, "Don't be too happy. Money in the futures market is always just paper wealth until it's put into your bank card. ”

……

At the time of excitement here, in the skyscrapers on Wall Street, some institutions and organizations that short crude oil are a little dumbfounded.

The situation they worked so hard to create, but they made wedding dresses for others.

The timing of the opponent's choice is so tricky that it's like staring at their computer screen, and when they just start shorting, the other party follows.

When the market forms a big situation, they have no choice but to follow the market situation and continue to short, so that the other party can reap the profits.

The previous shock was actually that some people were unwilling and tried to buck the trend, but in the face of billions of dollars per minute trading volume, there was no massive amount of money to fill, so they could only be eaten in vain.

At a time when many financial predators are depressed, some people have also noticed Wells Futures, as well as the international crude oil speculators from China.

……

……

Affected by the shock of North American crude oil prices, the crude oil prices of the London Mercantile Exchange and the Tokyo Mercantile Exchange have fallen and entered a short-term shock period.

On the American side, with the start of the Republican National Convention, the demonstrations continued.

The U.S. authorities have mobilized nearly 40,000 police officers to maintain law and order, spending $65 million on security, far exceeding the $25 million budget.

Not as exaggerated as yesterday's female international student, according to the latest poll results on the evening of the 30th, the Democratic candidate "Klee" is currently narrowly ahead of Bu Shi by 2%, with the support of the two 48% and 46% respectively.

Guan Qiu was not too surprised by this.

If the cloth is ahead, then last night's crude oil futures shock will not exist, and international crude oil prices will maintain an indomitable advantage and flood forward.

Of course, this should be the last time.

……

On September 1, 2004, the Republican Party of the United States formally confirmed the party's presidential candidate at its national convention in New York.

As soon as the news was released, it immediately caused a chain reaction, and the price of crude oil soared by 5 percent, from $37.66 per barrel to $39.55 per barrel.

Pu Ruo relied on an astonishing "prediction" to cut off his beard again.

As of 6 p.m. on September 1, the floating profit ratio reached 60%, $45.5 million, and the total book funds were as high as $135.7 million, with a staggering return on investment of 450%.

It was a feast of riches that continues to be enjoyed, but very few are able to enjoy it, and most not only do not earn it, but they lose all their money.

When Bu Shi was nominated as a presidential candidate, there was no turning back for international crude oil prices, all the way up, and all the energy categories were red.

In addition to crude oil, light oil, natural gas, unleaded gasoline, thermal oil, and Brent crude oil have all become investment targets.

At the same time as the international crude oil price is rising, Guan Qiu's wealth is also increasing faster than the money printing machine.

The domestic side has called countless times to ask when he will go back, but Guan Qiu has no time to take care of it.

In mid-September, the government said it planned to complete the last 300 million barrels of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve by next year, bringing the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to 700 million barrels eventually.

As a result, oil prices rose again.

Guan Qiu's fortune swelled like a snowball.

High oil prices have also set off a ripple effect.

At the beginning of October, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced that "every $5 increase in the price of a barrel of crude oil will reduce the global economic growth rate by about 0.3 percentage points, and the US economic growth rate may fall by about 0.4 percentage points." ”

According to the European Commission's calculations: if oil prices rise by $10 per barrel, the economic growth rate of the euro area will decrease by 0.75 percentage points and the inflation rate will increase by 0.6 percentage points within two years. 】

Oil prices have become a barometer of the global economy, and high oil prices mean increased uncertainty, a weakening economy, and if oil prices remain at their current high levels, a recession could be triggered in 2005.

Guan Qiu smiled at this.

Fuck your mother's negative economic growth, and now the oil price is only $44.72 per barrel, where is this?

Keep going up for me!

As soon as Guan Qiu's words fell, international crude oil prices rose by 30 cents to $45.02 a barrel.

The world exclaimed again.

In response to the advent of high oil prices, governments have incorporated oil security into their national security strategies.

In order to reduce their dependence on the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), developed countries such as the United States have turned to opening up new sources of oil in regions and countries such as West Africa, Central Asia and Russia.

China, India, ASEAN, South Korea, Brazil and other countries and regions with rapid economic development are actively seeking multi-channel oil sources;

Saudi Arabia, Russia and other oil-producing countries have regarded oil as the "golden key" to their own economic take-off, and have formulated strategies of "rejuvenating the country with oil" and "strengthening the country with oil";

Countries around the world attach great importance to oil transportation security and strategic reserves, such as China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Japan, the United States and other countries are building long-distance oil pipelines.

Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia jointly maintain security in the Strait of Malacca, and China and India are preparing to build strategic oil reserve facilities, among others.

At a time when countries around the world are secretly frustrated by high oil prices, oil prices fluctuated twice in mid-October, falling 20 cents, from $48.39 a barrel to $48.16 a barrel.

All over the world.

[Outside the number, the price of oil has really dropped this time!]

[It is a foregone conclusion that the drop in oil prices will usher in a cliff-like decline, and the oil crisis has passed!]

【……】

Unfortunately, before the words fell, the international crude oil price immediately rose by nearly 4 percentage points, from the original $48.16 / barrel to $50.03 / barrel, and broke through the $50 mark for the first time.

This situation has shocked all countries and institutions around the world.

This price has risen by 50 per cent since the beginning of 2004.

Some people cry and some people laugh.

Wall Street conglomerates and international speculators, who are longs, are basically laughing like crazy, and when airlines around the world announce fuel surcharge increases, a lot of dollars go into their pockets.

Of course, a considerable part of it also flowed into Pu Ruo's account.

Time has come to the last day before the presidential election.

On the evening of the 1st, Guan Qiu and Pu Ruo went to a western restaurant on the banks of the Hudson River for dinner.

Neither of them spoke, eating silently.

After eating, Pu Ruo picked up a white tablecloth to wipe his mouth, and under the light, it was glamorous.

"Do you want to stop?"

Guan Qiu smiled, "What do you say?"

Pu Ruo nodded, and then asked, "How much?"

Guan Qiu said without hesitation: "All!"

Pu Ruo's lips moved, wanting to say something more, but in the end he didn't say it.

It was a big gamble, with a 50 percent chance of winning, either Cloth Ten would be elected and become the top of the wealth pyramid, or Klee would be elected and the two would return home in disgrace.

Guan Qiu smiled: "Believe me, you will definitely win." ”

Pu Ruo didn't speak.

Even Bu Shi himself is not sure that he will be re-elected as president now, so why is he so sure?

Guan Qiu's eyes rolled and smiled: "Either way, let's make a bet, if I win, you give me a kiss." ”

Pu Ruo didn't speak, and looked at him with murderous eyes.

Guan Qiu immediately said, "If I lose, I'll give you a kiss." ”

Pu Ruo: "......"
