Investors, US crude producers scramble to lock in oil price spike
Overview
Investors and U.S. crude producers rushed to lock in gains and hedge after a sharp oil-price spike, producing record volumes of futures and options. The euro zone’s 2.5% inflation reading in March — driven by the same energy-price shock after strikes on Iran — validates market fears of supply-driven inflation and helps explain the intense hedging and volatility in energy markets.
