There has been a lot of misinformation thrown out there and the entire situation caught the Futures Trading industry off guard. The goal of this video is to inform our audience about what exactly happened, clear the air on any misinformation, and discuss why Futures Contracts on Crude Oil reached negative for the first time in history and what to consider moving forward.
