TWIFO 488: A Historic Week for Crude Oil


Listen Later

This week, we aren't just talking about movers—we're witnessing a historic disruption in the energy markets.

We dive deep into the explosive price action and triple-digit volatility in WTI Crude Oil, where mining in the Straits of Hormuz and tanker attacks have sent WTI and Brent soaring. Is the "par" level the new floor? We break down the massive volume in May 95 calls and the 120-strike volatility crush.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Movers & Shakers: Why the light side is dominating with double-digit gains in Energy and Platinum, while Financials lead the slide to the dark side.

  • Equities: A "banger week" for the E-mini S&P 500. We analyze the massive 23% bid in put skew and the 6500/6400/6300 put fly lighting up the tape.

  • Small Caps: Is the rotation dead? We look at the spike in Russell 2000 volume as it flirts with negative territory for the year.

  • Energy Deep Dive: A "ridiculous" amount of volume in Crude. We look at the 95/Par vertical and what December 120 calls tell us about the geopolitical outlook.

Don't miss this breakdown of the volatility swings, skew changes, and hot trades at CME Group.
