Chapter 741: The Battle of Speculating in Oil Futures Begins
readx;
"Hello audience, the day before yesterday, in the south of Chobham, the British intelligence agencies captured an Iraqi, claiming that the Iraqi was involved in a spy operation in the UK, although the UK did not announce what espionage activities were, but, the outside world speculated that this activity must be related to the Royal Armored Research Institute in Chobham Town, but, so far, the British intelligence agencies have not commented on this. However, because the British detained the Iraqis, this caused strong dissatisfaction in Iraq, and the Iraqi ambassador to the United Kingdom, after expressing a strong protest from the Iraqi side, twenty hours passed, and the British side did not give any response, and the detained Iraqis were not released.www.biquge.info≦≧ In view of this, the Iraqi Government issued a statement at 8 o'clock this morning: In view of the fact that Britain's move has seriously hurt its friendly relations with Iraq, Iraq has decided to recall its ambassador to Britain and at the same time expel the British ambassador to Iraq, so as to downgrade the relations between the two countries to the level of chargé d'affaires. Behind me right now is the British Embassy in Iraq, and as you can see, the ambassador of the embassy is getting into his vehicle and preparing to take a British Airways flight home, which is the report sent back to you by AFP on the spot. "A female journalist was on the streets of Baghdad, looking into the camera lens, broadcasting live.
President Qusay was furious because of the British wanton detention of Iraqis, and after 24 hours of protest, there was still no response from the British side, and Qusay decided that for such a rogue state, then this decision should be made to let them leave their country. ≦≧
At the same time, Iraq decided. Mandatory tariffs will be increased by 100 per cent on all kinds of goods exported to Iraq from the UK.
When this news was released, it immediately aroused the concern of countless people.
Iraq's move can be said to be unprecedented, before that. Only the developed countries have come up with this trick to disperse diplomats and impose compulsory tariffs, and Iraq actually used this trick against Britain to make the world feel that it is a trick. Iraq's waist pole has been erected.
Britain and Iraq, the two sides began a new diplomatic conflict.
However, this diplomatic conflict has not grabbed the commanding heights of the news, and I don't know how many people beat their chests in the past day. I feel that I have lost such a good opportunity.
Once the drop in oil prices began, as if there was a kind of magic, the international oil price actually fell below the $40 mark, reaching $39, and at noon on this day. ≦≧ it fell to thirty-five dollars.
Looking at the declining oil prices, the happiest thing is the United States, thinking that this time you can finally use low-cost crude oil, which will stimulate the growth and prosperity of various domestic industries, and the economic situation of the United States. It is also necessary to start to get better, and this time the pressure on Saudi Arabia and Kuwait has worked very well.
But. Against this backdrop, some economists are beginning to worry that there seems to be something wrong with the fact that oil prices are falling too fast. It seems that someone is manipulating the price of oil, but. They're just worried.
In an ordinary investment company in Hong Kong, a war began without gunpowder.
In the past two days, they have spent almost 20 hours in front of the computer every day, constantly buying oil futures, and then constantly selling, Hong Kong's developed economy and stock futures market can allow them to operate oil futures in various countries, including the United States and major European oil importing countries, through countless accounts. ≦≧
"General manager, we are operating like this now, we have always been in a state of loss, and we have now lost 15% of the amount, is this okay?" Zhang Manyu held a folder tightly with his hand, and asked Sarah, the calm backstage boss.
Fifteen percent seems to be a small loss, but its base is nearly $20 billion, and the loss is $3 billion, so even if all the companies in Hong Kong are sold, they will not be able to sell so much money. What's more, these funds will be operated through the market, such as using some of the funds as collateral to re-lend and other operations, and they can obtain several times the operating funds, and what they can actually operate has reached 100 billion US dollars.
Sarah had already taken off her cumbersome Arabic costume by this time, and in a cosmopolitan city like Hong Kong, she wore the same clothes as those working women, both mentally and capablely.
It's just that, compared to the original, Sarah has faded the last trace of shyness on her body, because she is no longer a big girl, she has finally become a woman, a woman who has become a big hero in the Middle East, and in the future, she will become his wife. In the depths of Sarah's heart, there is already a sense of tenderness.
"There's no need to worry about that, we need to keep doing this, to make the price of oil lower, so that we can buy the bottom and then make more money, and now, we are just waiting for this opportunity, Manyu, if you want to succeed, then, you have to be willing to invest, especially, at times like this, to stay calm. ≦≧," Sarah said.
Zhang Manyu remembered the calm and calm command of the mustache who came from the Middle East last time, and gradually relaxed his heart, this time, it will definitely be as successful as last time!
Sarah actually didn't have a bottom in her heart, she wasn't worried about Qusay, she was just worried that this time to speculate on oil futures, there are several prerequisites, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, they can control it, but what about other countries? Can they control it?
Thinking of this, she put her mind at ease, she knew that her man was the most powerful, as long as he said it, then he would definitely be able to do it.
"The futures price has dropped to $32, and it looks like it can fall below $30 today." A trader said.
Thirty dollars! This price is already a psychological bottom line, and now it's time to act, right?
Latin America. ≦≧
In the north of here, there is a country famous for its beautiful women, a small country with a population base of only 26 million, but it has won more than 60 international beauty pageant awards, including 5 Miss World, 5 Miss International, and 6 Miss Universe. Created the miracle of the world, there is a popular saying here, if it is not beautiful, then it is better to die. If Sister Furong and Sister Feng of later generations came to this country, they would definitely be rats crossing the street, and everyone would shout and beat them.
And here, it is even more famous for producing oil, and this country is Venezuela.
Venezuela is one of the world's major oil producers and exporters, and one of the four founding countries of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, with 77.68 billion barrels of recoverable conventional oil reserves, ranking first in the Western Hemisphere and fifth in the world.
In order to force the government to release one of their main leaders, they resorted to violent means and destroyed several oil wells here, but the government did not compromise, so they made a means to influence the world's oil and sabotage an important oil pipeline here.
Venezuela produces more than 2 million barrels of crude oil per day, but the oil pipeline has been damaged, and more than half of this oil cannot be exported for the time being.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet, Baghdad.
"President Qusay, our operation can begin." Yured said.
The oil pipeline in Venezuela has just been sabotaged, and the news has not yet been publicized, but Iraq has already gotten the news, and the $20 billion invested in this has finally begun to harvest.
"Mexico's oil workers are also about to hold a week-long ** to protest against the government's low wages." Yured continued.
The matter of these two foreign aid is done, and the remaining Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait are well resolved.
World oil prices, under their own deliberate push, will carry out a rise and fall, and this rise and fall will drown a group of international speculators.
"Inform Hong Kong that we are going to start acting." Qusay said.
"There was news from the Middle East, and our operation began immediately." Zhang Manyu came in from outside and said in an anxious tone.
Ready to start? The action was very fast, Sarah looked at the highly nervous traders, and said: "From now on, buy all the oil futures in the world, short-term and medium-term, all for me!" ”
After investing so much, and now it is finally beginning to harvest, in an instant, Sarah is in a trance, the man she loves can actually come up with such an idea, how many speculators' pockets will be emptied by him!
The trader's fingers kept beating on the keyboard, and the crude oil futures markets of various countries had fallen into their hands one by one, and it was at this time that the crude oil futures price finally fell to the limit.
In the morning, the biggest news in the world, I am afraid that the diplomatic conflict between Britain and Iraq, and now, the conflict between the two sides has escalated, in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, all citizens with British passports have been interrogated by some secret **, which made the British side express a strong protest, which is an insult to the British Empire! Unfortunately, Iraq ignored it and continued.
However, now, this news is not very important, they are all looking at another news, Venezuela, there was a clash between government forces and ** armed forces, the place where the conflict took place, it was actually in the main oil-producing area of Lake Maracaibo, the conflict caused the destruction of an important oil export pipeline, Venezuela is currently actively working to restore oil output as soon as possible.
Not long after this news was released, news came from Mexico that oil workers** had arrived, and Mexico's oil exports had also been greatly affected.
