in futures markets forward contracts trading at discounts to
nearby or spot months does not necessarily imply a downward
price movement

this "backwardation" can indeed signal a technically tight or
"squeezed" market (which is more likely the case in oil right
now which everyone and their brother is shorting)

conversely, a "contango" market exists when forward prices are
higher than spot prices reflecting the cost of carry, more normally
associated with a balanced or weak market

a better question to ask is why is anyone even watching oil in
regards to uti instead of natural gas which represents 70% of
revenue and 80% of profits?????
