Oil traders bought more than 3 million barrels of crude oil in options contracts, betting that oil prices would soar to $250 per barrel by June as geopolitical risks remain high. According to the data, about 3,000 lots of US crude oil with an execution price of 250 US dollars were traded in June, and the unit price was 1 cent. Some traders and brokers say this is probably a “lottery” transaction. If the price soars to an unheard of level by the middle of next month, this lottery ticket may win, but it also seems that this deal also comes with a $25 put option, so it may also be a macro-strategic transaction.
