Chapter 669: First Strike
"The volatility cycle of the crude oil futures market generally takes several years, while the volatility cycle of the natural gas market generally only takes a few months."
The star trader of Amarans, sitting in front of the camera, is talking eloquently in the face of a question from a beautiful reporter, which is an interview show from the N Economic Channel at the end of July.
These reporters are also powerful, and they actually invited Brian at this time. Hunter, and this guy didn't know what was crazy about smoking, and after disappearing from public for more than a month, he suddenly appeared in front of the camera again.
And under the gang of men who have scooped him up, they have begun to quietly enter the layout, but at this time, this guy appeared in front of the camera, what did he want to do?
Do you want to warm up the market for the next two months? Want to make the natural gas market again arouse everyone's interest?
Indeed, the natural gas market is too small compared to other commodity trading markets, especially for commodities such as oil, steel, copper, aluminum or soybeans.
In other markets, the size of capital flows is generally in the hundreds of billions of dollars, and in this market, tens of billions of dollars are already dead.
On the one hand, because the risk here is indeed too great, so many conservative investment funds and institutions are unwilling to play here, on the other hand, because this plate is indeed too small, the current use of natural gas as the main country in the world for heating and power generation, there are only a few developed countries, plus this thing is very difficult to store, so this market is generally difficult to arouse the interest of investors.
And Brian is also very aware of this, this time he wants to bet against God, but he is not a complete madman, he knows that if there is no news of a hurricane landing in the United States in the first month, then his gamble this time is doomed to fail.
So if he wants to reduce the risk in this area, then he must give investors a big shot in advance. Pave a way back for yourself in advance.
And this back road, just like when he operated last month, used a large amount of money to artificially distort the market. Convince investors that they will definitely make money by investing in this way.
In this way, as long as a large amount of capital is transferred from other markets to the natural gas market, and he joins his camp for his fame and achievements, then even if there is no hurricane in the United States in the next two months, as long as there is so much capital support, it will be enough for him to overcome obstacles in this market again. Huge profits have been made.
So at the end of July, just before he was about to do it, he suddenly appeared on the TV screen and uttered such very encouraging words, the purpose of which was also very simple, that is, to attract more people to the market, and then draw a pie for these people as much as possible, and kidnap these people to his chariot.
"So. So, Brian, you're still very optimistic about the future of natural gas, right? ”
The female reporter of N didn't know what benefits she had received from this Brian. asked a very vague guiding question, and Brian, who was sitting on the opposite side, climbed up the pole, and he replied naturally.
"Of course, in the future, the market prospect of natural gas will be broad, we can see that with the rise in oil energy prices and increasing shortage, natural gas as a generation of energy, has begun to be widely accepted by consumers. At present, more and more consumers are using natural gas for heating in winter around the world. And with the development of the Celestial Empire, more and more families in this country have begun to join the gas pipeline, and they have begun to use natural gas for cooking, heating, this huge market, will definitely affect the direction of natural gas prices in the future. So personally. I am very optimistic about the performance of the natural gas market in the future. ”…,
Brian didn't mention any hurricanes, but he was painting a wonderful picture of the natural gas market, which is indeed somewhat undervalued compared to oil.
As long as it can attract the attention of those speculators, then the market will soon be lively, and no matter which side these guys are on, they will make money.
Brian's abacus is very shrewd, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven, he doesn't know, when he is proud on TV, in the audience, I don't know how many people are gearing up, ready to pull him off the horse.
"Humph! This guy is really a stinky fart, does he really think he can be lucky for a long time? ”
Sitting in Jin Xiaoqiang's oversized office, watching Brian's performance on the TV wall opposite, Brian of Thunderbird was obviously very unconvinced.
"Boss, when are we going to start?"
Huang Guotao, who was sitting on the other side, was also very dissatisfied with this Brian's arrogance, during this time, the boss kept asking everyone to stand still, to be honest, everyone was a little unable to hold back.
"It's not time yet, huh. By the way, what is the difference between the 0703 contract and the 0704 contract? ”
Jin Xiaoqiang asked with a smile, their funds are not as abundant as Amarans, so if you enter the market and fight with them now, it is very likely that they will be crushed by people's abundant funds before September.
In order to prepare for this operation, Jin Xiaoqiang has prepared all the US dollars of about 3.35 billion US dollars in his hand, and in order to be afraid that it will not be enough, he also asked Alice to scoop up his Google shares and go to the bank to talk about the mortgage.
Fortunately, Google's stock price has risen a lot compared to last year, and his shares in Google were originally mortgaged to banks for only $2 billion, but now they have risen to $3 billion.
But even with the addition of these three billion US dollars, their total assets are only 6.3 billion US dollars, which is more than 300 million compared with Amarans' total net worth of 9.5 billion.
If you enter too early and are discovered by Amarans, and people simply fight with you for capital, it will be difficult for you to fight for others.
In the end, when he and Amarans fought to lose both, and then someone else would pick up the bargain, it would really be worth the loss, so Jin Xiaoqiang decided to stand still first.
Anyway, there are many investment institutions that are unhappy with Amarans and their star traders this time, and they can't rush to the front.
"Well, the difference between 0703 and 0704 is quite stable, since the last time Brian's action, the difference between the two contracts has quickly recovered to a stable position, down to about $5, but some time ago, that Brian quietly arranged to buy a lot of 0703 contracts in the dark, resulting in small fluctuations in the market, and now the difference has been narrowed to only about $2.5."
Brian hasn't done anything else in the past few days, just kept an eye on the movement in the market, the natural gas market in the New York futures trading market, widening the difference between 0703 and 0704, and then arbitrage, is the main means of profit in the natural gas market.
Almost all investment institutions are playing this set in the market.
Last time, Brian relied on widening the difference between these two contracts to make huge profits, and this time this kid will of course play this set, but before that, the difference between these two contracts doesn't seem to have returned to the low level in his heart, so this guy artificially pulled the difference in the current market back to a low level. …,
"Well, in this way, this kid may still start to exert his strength around $2.5! If he succeeds this time, then their Amarans' capital of 9 billion may have to be doubled immediately, becoming 18 billion. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang touched the minibus and said, Huang Guotao on the side was obviously very dissatisfied with the gambler's operation like Brian, he snorted quietly, and then continued Jin Xiaoqiang's words.
"Boss, if they hadn't waited for the hurricane in their hearts in the first month, then they might have to lose a lot of money."
"Haha, that's right, I guess they'll definitely lose money this time."
Brian also followed Huang Guotao's words and said, it was indeed the previous Brian. Hunter's operation method, the nature of gambling is too large, and although the guy's several successes are said to have a certain technical content, the element of luck seems to be greater.
"Huh. Leave it alone, by the way, how much money have they used so far? ”
Jin Xiaoqiang asked with a smile.
"Well, even the funds that quietly entered the market before, as well as the funds spent before to lower the price difference between the two contracts, they have probably used about 2 billion."
Huang Guotao reported to Jin Xiaoqiang.
"Okay, when their funds are used to 2.5 billion, we will start to do it, they will give me 500 million short orders of 0703 that they shorted, and 500 million in 0704, let them continue."
Jin Xiaoqiang's eyes suddenly flashed with cold light at this time, and it was time to make a move.
This time it is not only his own family who wants to hunt this Amarans, he knows that at this time he is quietly laying out in the market, waiting for Amarans There must be other investment institutions, and according to his recollections, there seems to be JPMorgan Chase and Chicago's Castle Fund, these are not good stubble, they are all masters who eat people and do not spit out bones.
This time I grabbed food in a bowl with them, and I had to make the first move.
Anyway, a few of them have already made up their minds to fight Amaranth, and if they wait until they exert their strength before making a move, they really won't even be able to drink the soup. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
