TRADING VOLUMES FOR BRENT
FUTURES SURPASS WTI IN 2012
One of the many effects of the
well-documented disconnect between
the prices of Brent and West Texas
Intermediate (WTI) crude oils has
been the increase in trading volume
for Brent futures, according to the U.S.
Energy Information Administration
(EIA). In 2012, for the first time, more
Brent futures contracts traded on the
IntercontinentalExchange for the year as
a whole thanWTI futures contracts traded
on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
This increase in Brent futures trading
volume is prompting other changes in the
financial markets, including a reweighting
of commodity index funds away from
WTI futures and toward Brent futures.
The volume of options written on prompt
Brent futures is also rising.
Two years ago, the difference in the
volumes traded of Brent and WTI futures
contracts began to narrow as growing
supply combined with transportation
constraints to disconnect WTI from the
global seaborne crude oil market and, as
a result, WTI prices no longer reflected
global price levels. In April 2012 the
volume of Brent crude oil futures traded
exceeded that of WTI futures for the first
time. Prior to December, Brent trading
volumes had been higher than WTI vol-
umes for eight consecutive months.
