Hess With Four New Permits -- January 7, 2021

Backwardation: I'm hearing that term more often these days. For example from today from another site:
The Brent futures curve has returned to backwardation, the state of the market signaling tighter supplies with prompt prices higher than those further out in time. Backwardation removes the incentives for traders to store oil in floating storage.
For newbies: when it comes to a commodity like crude oil that "should" deplete / become scarcer in the long term --
  • contango is the normal state of affairs: the price of oil should go up in the future, all things being equal, since global oil should deplete over the long term; "contango" -- come tango, come dance with me; a pleasant experience;
  • backwardation: is not the normal state of affairs; oil is getting cheaper in the future, not because there is going to be more oil in the long term, but there are geopolitical, economic, strength of the dollar, chokepoints, manmade, etc., reasons for the price of oil to be going down in the near future; barkwardation -- it even sounds unpleasant;
