Despite 2020 being a bleak year for the oil industry as a whole, national oil companies continue to invest heavily in future upstream projects. Some of these projects will require oil prices to stay well above ** U.S. dollars per barrel in order to break even. As of 2021, state-owned enterprises were looking to invest *** billion U.S. dollars in oil exploration ventures that required a long-term price over ** U.S. dollars per barrel. Nevertheless, the majority of capital expenditure was aimed at projects that would break even with oil prices well below ** U.S. dollars per barrel.

Explore the dynamics of soybean oil prices, a key agricultural commodity used in cooking and biofuel. Understand the factors influencing prices, investment methods like futures and ETFs, and the potential risks and rewards in this volatile market.

Oil shocks exert influence on macroeconomic activity through various channels, many of which imply a symmetric effect. However, the effect can also be asymmetric. In particular, sharp oil price changes "either increases or decreases" may reduce aggregate output temporarily because they delay business investment by raising uncertainty or induce costly sectoral resource reallocation. Consistent with these asymmetric-effect hypotheses, the authors find that a volatility measure constructed using daily crude oil futures prices has a negative and significant effect on future gross domestic product (GDP) growth over the period 1984-2004. Moreover, the effect becomes more significant after oil price changes are also included in the regression to control for the symmetric effect. The evidence here provides economic rationales for Hamilton's (2003) nonlinear oil shock measure: It captures overall effects, both symmetric and asymmetric, of oil price shocks on output.

Crude oil is a volatile commodity. Between 2010 and 2022, the return rate on oil investments jumped between losses of over ** percent and gains of ** percent. In 2022, crude oil rate of loss amounted to ***** percent.

Investing in US oil prices involves buying and selling securities or derivatives that are directly influenced by the price of oil. This article discusses various methods of investing in US oil prices, such as trading oil futures contracts and investing in oil-related ETFs. It also emphasizes the importance of understanding market trends, managing risks, and staying informed about key factors influencing oil prices.

We investigate the effects of real oil prices and their uncertainty on investment decisions. Making use of plant-level data, we estimate dynamic, discrete-choice models that allow modeling investment inaction, under different assumptions related to initial conditions and unobserved heterogeneity. We find that increases in real oil price changes and in real oil price uncertainty significantly reduce the likelihood of investment action, in line with the predictions of irreversible investment theory. We also document that investment decisions exhibit strong, pure state dependence and are also significantly affected by initial conditions.

Investing in US crude oil prices through futures contracts can be a lucrative opportunity for investors. This article explores the advantages and risks of investing in crude oil futures, including exposure to a globally traded commodity, convenience and cost-effectiveness, liquidity, and the potential for profit from both rising and falling prices. However, investors must also consider the risks of price volatility, leverage, and the impact of contango or backwardation. Thorough research and staying informe
