Oil Rises on Hopes for Demand Recovery Print Alert By Amrith Ramkumar Oil prices advanced in volatile trading on Thursday, lifted by hopes for a rise in fuel consumption as lockdown measures to stop the coronavirus are rolled back. U.S. crude for delivery in June rose 12% to $16.85 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, extending a recent stretch of wild swings. The benchmark started the year above $60 but has crashed with the coronavirus eroding fuel demand. A similar contract for delivery next month crashed to minus $37.63 a barrel on April 20, the first time in oil-market history futures have turned negative. When such contracts expire, the holders must either take delivery of barrels of oil in Cushing, Okla., or sell them. Whoever was left holding them likely couldn't find available storage amid the glut, forcing them to sell and driving prices well below $0. The contract expired on April 21 after rebounding to positive territory. As a result of the negative pricing and oversupply, many investors and commodity funds no longer want to hold oil to be delivered soon. Instead they want crude for delivery several months from now, lowering trading in near-dated futures and driving big swings in both directions. There are now more July futures contracts outstanding than contracts for June delivery, a shift that normally would have taken place closer to May 20, the day June futures expire. On Thursday, the July futures rose 9.1% to $20.86 a barrel. The gains came with some states in the U.S. easing lockdown measures and followed Wednesday data showing a recovery in gasoline consumption last week. Demand is also expected to rebound in China after its economy shut early in the year to fight the pandemic. Investors are also looking ahead to global supply cuts set to take effect Friday. In addition to those coordinated output reductions, some companies are being forced to shut in productive wells because prices have fallen so much. Production cuts in oil, on purpose or by default, come at a time when demand probably has nowhere to go but up," Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at the Price Futures Group, said in a note. Brent crude futures for delivery in July, the most actively traded global benchmark of prices, rose 9% to $26.41 a barrel on the Intercontinental Exchange on Thursday. A contract for June delivery rallied 12% to $25.23 on its final day of trading. Brent futures track the price of seaborne crude, relying on an index calculated by ICE. Many analysts expect prices to remain volatile, especially with many investors and exchange-traded funds selling near-dated oil futures and buying contracts for crude to be delivered several months from now.

Dividend cut is a massive long term benefit and will see shell recover quicker and easier than BP in my opinion. BP might regret not following shell's example. Positive news.
