Does anyone know when the July NYMEX crude contract closes ? Last month there was a huge sell-off when June was expiring (around May 21 ?). The stated reason was that contract holders couldn't take delivery because storage facilities were bulging. Since then, the storage figures have gotten even more bearish. I'am concerned that it is going to happen again this month.
