Most of these items are products sold by betting palours, like Paper Oil. You can't refine paper oil into a fuel which can power your car or jet, heat your house or generate electricity. Nor is there any tangible connection between real world oil prices and the price of paper oil and the and futures price of paper oil. Much like actual gold, the price of actual oil is affected by supply and demand. But the price of paper oil is affected by jitters, fears, tics, a political statement, a potentially cryptic message perceived to be in a comment by an OPEC nation leader, or a rise or decline in Fed rates. Yet none of these myriad factors ever affect the cost of real oil.
