At that time, the hurricane hit the oil warehouse area of the United States, the Gulf of Mexico, so Jin Xiaoqiang paid special attention to the natural disaster that occurred in the United States.

You must know the economic barometer of the United States, but it will directly affect the price of shijie oil prices, and the Gulf of Mexico is the most important crude oil producer in the United States.

That's why Jin Xiaoqiang paid special attention to this natural disaster in the United States at that time**!

If he remembers correctly, Hurricane Katrina shut down one-third of the offshore oil fields off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, shut down seven refineries, and halted the construction of an oil export facility.

It had a great impact on the U.S. oil economy, and on the second day of Hurricane Katrina's landfall, the opening price of crude oil on the U.S. Mercantile Exchange rose by five dollars at that time, and there is a stronger upward trend.

When he learned the news in his previous life, Jin Xiaoqiang only felt that it was dark for a while, the price of crude oil rose like this, who would buy a car in this year?

If others don't buy cars, then the engineers of automobile companies like them will have nothing to eat, and he was ready to receive a boxed lunch directly.

The next day, the U.S. government announced that it agreed to use the strategic crude oil reserves, and under pressure from the United States, the Shijie Energy Organization also agreed to open the strategic petroleum reserves and put an additional 2 million barrels of oil into the market every day, so that the crude oil futures prices on the U.S. commodity exchanges fell in response.

Jin Xiaoqiang also saved his job, you must know that in the U.S. government and Shijie Energy Organization, before the decision to open the strategic reserves, not only did he feel that the future was bleak, but even many leaders of their company felt that this year's sales plan was wandan, and they were going to lay off employees and reduce expenses.

The final result of Xiangdao turned out to be such a performance of joy and sorrow!

But at the end of the year, a dispute over natural gas prices broke out between Russia and Ukraine, and at this time Jin Xiaoqiang knew that it was not oil that was most affected by Hurricane Katrina, but natural gas!

Natural gas, in the futures market, is a relatively unpopular commodity, although it is also a commodity, there are not too many people who dare to play this project.

The reason is simple, because natural gas is an odd commodity from a trading perspective, it is not easy to transport and store, so traditional pricing models based on spot, futures and arbitrage between different markets are not useful.

This is very bad for many Wall Street elites who like to use data models to predict future changes in the futures market.

And the demand for natural gas is also difficult to predict, and not all American households in the United States will burn wood at home to heat their homes in the winter, as seen in the movies.

In fact, many American homes use natural gas as a raw material for heating and air conditioning, especially in large cities such as New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, which are close to the coast.

Many individual residents living in high-rise apartments use natural gas as a raw material for heating in winter, so the demand for natural gas is closely related to the winter weather.

In addition, natural gas power plants, which are easy to switch on and off but more expensive, will also turn on and off as electricity consumption changes, adding uncertainty to natural gas demand.

In short, the natural gas market is complex and volatile, and there is no need for classical models, so many traders in this market often rely on intuition and experience.

This year's Hurricane Cortrina has had a huge impact on many offshore oil fields and refineries in the southern Gulf of Mexico, although in terms of crude oil, because the United States and Shijie Energy have opened up strategic reserves, so the price of crude oil has not risen significantly.

After Hurricane Cotrina hit the United States at the end of August, the price of natural gas in the United States rose in response, from about $7 per thousand cubic feet before Hurricane Katrina to more than $14, more than doubled. …,

And this situation continued from the beginning of September 2005 to about September of the following year, because of the fear that the hurricane would return to the United States and hit the oil and gas production of the Gulf of Mexico hard, and the price of natural gas, because it is a very special commodity, has not come down since it went up.

And because of the special position of the United States in the Shijie economy, since the price of natural gas in the United States has risen, the price of natural gas in the whole Shijie range has more than doubled, and like the United States, the price has been maintained at a high level, but it has not fallen.

It is precisely because of this, as well as the previous issue of the spin-off and sale of Yukos, that Russia was played by the Americans and Western European countries led by Germany, and at this time they were trying to find a place to vent their anger.

In addition, Ukraine has been vacillating on the issue of NATO's eastward expansion in the past two years, and there are constantly eye-to-eyed with the European Union.

You must know that the natural gas needed for heating in Ukraine every winter before was provided by Russia, and most of the natural gas that Russia transported to Western Europe through the pipelines passed through Ukraine.

As soon as Ukraine saw this situation, they had no way to reason with Russia at all, so they could only pull the Western European countries of the European Union in, and reason with Russia that you see that your natural gas is still going through our domestic pipelines to Western Europe.

If it weren't for this pipeline, would you be able to buy your gas to Western Europe? What's wrong with us charging tolls? How about giving us a little discount?

How can the Russians listen to this, you want to be a dog leg for the Western Europeans, and dare to give Lao Tzu eye medicine?

Immediately, Russia stopped supplying gas to Ukraine, which made the few countries in Western Europe that were still gloating also suffer a lot of losses.

And Russia's current situation, which was originally Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, was intended to Pei Gong, and what he wanted was a few led by Germany, who would make the bad guys look bad behind their backs.

Russia stopped being angry like this, but it choked Germany and other Western European countries enough, and quickly jumped out to pull the bias and stand on the side of Ukraine.

In the end, the matter was still under the situation of mutual compromise between the forces of all parties, and finally it was over.

At the end of this year in the last life, Russia and Ukraine had a lot of trouble, and Jin Xiaoqiang also paid special attention to the two original cousins, and later understood the truth from the analysis of various news media and Internet gods.

But in this lifetime, this information is useful to him is the news that the price of natural gas will more than double after Hurricane Katrina this year.

This shijie is like this, there are victims of natural disasters, there will be beneficiaries of this natural disaster!

Otherwise, every time after a large-scale natural disaster, in the stock or futures market, what are the infrastructure construction, steel, cement and other building materials companies?

This happened to the natural disaster in the United States**, if you don't make a handful of Americans' national disaster money, it is really too much to say.

The Americans relied on their big faces and thick arms, full of shijie to grab resources, and then in their own country is to enjoy every day, eat food, and finally owe a butt of rotten debts, but let the whole shijie pay for them, Jin Xiaoqiang Yijing has been unhappy with them for a long time.

If they hadn't caused the crisis in 08 in their previous life, how could they have been so miserable in the next few years?

You must know that although on the surface, the Celestial Empire seems to be not greatly affected by the rush of that crisis, but is it not very affected?

In order to cope with the so-called crisis, the government printed an extra 4 trillion banknotes in the name of the state, but most of this money fell into the pockets of the powerful and the second generation.

And in the end, the inflation left behind had to be borne by people like Jin Xiaoqiang, and the days during that time were really uncomfortable!

When I was a child, the peach of three yuan a pound rose to more than ten yuan a pound, and the magnates spent a lot of money in the hotel, but people like Jin Xiaoqiang could only endure the poison of gutter oil and clenbuterol.

For our own reasons, Americans also have to bear a lot of responsibility for the economic crisis that prevailed in the whole Shijie later!

This time I went to the United States to make the Americans' national troubled money, Jin Xiaoqiang is right, this is called robbing the rich and helping the poor, who made you Americans like to bully people so much, so like to put your hands in other people's pockets to take out money!

As early as a few months ago, Jin Xiaoqiang asked Alice to go to the United States to lay out, before going to the United States, because of the shortage of funds, Jin Xiaoqiang did not let Alice bring too much money over.

Instead, let her take the Google shares in her hands to the bank for a mortgage in the United States, you must know that the current Google stock is extremely hot, and the Google stock he originally spent a billion dollars to acquire has now more than doubled its market value.

There is no problem at all with bringing out two billion from the bank, and those American banks, and even Xiwang his business failed this time, thus making these Google stocks a dead deal!

But Jin Xiaoqiang doesn't care what they think, he just thinks that using American money to earn American money like this is the coolest thing!
