      It didn’t though.

      Spot wti at this moment is 110.4. spot brent is 112.56.

      Futures are in backwardation and the last trading days of the contracts don’t align so brent nearest contract shows < than wti nearest contract because it’s later than the wti contract. The later the expiry date, the more the discount to spot because markets thinks this hormuz issue will resolve with time.

      What has indeed happened is that the spread which used to be in 3 to 7 range went up to 19 on 19 march and now is down to just 2$. Strange, maybe due to short covering in WTI, I am not sure of the exact reason for this.
