CME Research:- Energy Options Skews: Beyond Supply Shocks

https://www.cmegroup.com/education/featured-reports/energy-options-skews-beyond-supply-shocks.html

... it turns out that the degree of skewness in the options markets has often been a good contrary indicator of where prices are heading, especially for the product markets...

Effective June 21st Member Margin for Tier 1, Aug'19, will be $3650.
This is a $200 increasing from $3450 for Tier1 but a $250 increase for August as it moves from Tier 2 to Tier 1
All other Tiers increased by $200 as well.
Non-member rates will be 110% of that

Seems like a good place to start a small Long position in Crude Oil. $UWT stock is getting lots of attention today.

If you believe Raoul Pal this is just the beginning of the Oil rout and is all tied into the bigger Global Macro picture. Already experiencing a global slowdown, and about to have a global recession. Now add in a massive US-China trade war and China devaluing their currency* - which effects everybody. The US already has a massive pension crisis around the corner, but what happens if we do have a sell off and the baby boomers start panic selling? There's a lot more on Real Vision TV but he's Long Bonds (well actually Eurodollars (which is USD LIBOR not EUR:USD), Long Gold, Long Bitcoin, Short Equities, Short Crude and some other (non-precious metal) commodities. So far he's been very right on the Eurodollars** - which is his biggest recommendation - and the Gold and Bitcoin. In contrast historically some of his crude oil calls have been pretty poor I believe.

*Or not supporting it, which has the same result
** Dec19 Eurodollars (globex GEZ9 or many other vendors EDZ9) had lows on 7/31 of 97.79 and today is 98.20. So in 6 trading days the market thinks Interest Rates are going to be cut by 50 points MORE than they did 6 days ago!

It may well be a big dump. Platform shows $202MM traded today...

Looking green...
