CLZ8, -0.71%
Fell on Friday, showing the tenth consecutive decline and matching the longest stretch of the contract since a similar range between July 18 and July 31, 1984, according to Dow Jones.
The Bespoke investment group is preparing for the longest decline as the longest spectra since at least 1983 (see table below), noting that "there has never been a streak of more than 9 consecutive days when crude oil is traded on a day."
What is behind the slowdown?
An increase in production and softening of the US oil sanctions on Iran, which included concessions to large importers such as China, which helped to reduce oil prices, and only five weeks ago, future oil prices had the highest prices in years. The companies' slow income in the future also added to the dominant mood in the oil industry.
