Q
Describe
Brent Crude Oil
A
- Pricing for North Sea Brent crude, classified as a sweet light crude, serves as the most widely used benchmark for other worldwide oil markets
- Categorization of this crude is as a light-sweet crude, due to its low density and low sulfur content. Light sweet crude oils are simpler to process into products such as gasoline because they contain a higher proportion of hydrocarbon molecules than other oils. Therefore, they tend to fetch higher prices on commodity markets.
- Benchmark crude oil serves as an investment tool for the industry in setting a point to act as a standard of comparison when evaluating different varieties of crude oil.
- Another significant benchmark crude is West Texas Intermediate (WTI) which is lighter and sweeter than North Sea Brent crude.

Q
Describe
West Texas Instrument
A
- WTI is the main oil benchmark for North America as it is sourced from the United States, primarily from the Permian Basin. The oil comes mainly from Texas. It then travels through pipelines where it is refined in the Midwest and the Gulf of Mexico.
- Though Brent crude and WTI crude are the most popular benchmarks, their prices are often contrasted. The difference in price between Brent and WTI is called the Brent-WTI spread.
- Benchmark crude oil serves as an investment tool for the industry in setting a point to act as a standard of comparison when evaluating different varieties of crude oil.

Q
Describe what a
S/P 500 Futures contract denotes
A
- If the e-mini S&P 500 futures contract trades higher before the opening of U.S. stock markets, it means the S&P 500 cash index will trade higher following the opening bell.
- Contracts track U.S. index direction closely during regular stock market trading hours but will be priced higher or lower because they represent expected future prices rather than current prices.
- Contracts denote approximate valuations for the next trading day when U.S. markets are closed, based on perceptions about overnight events and economic data, as well as movements in correlated or inversely-correlated financial instruments that include the forex markets—which also trades nearly 24 hours per day.
