umm, well, i suppose one could look at it that way. but it would be a woeful misconstruction of the statement and evidence of having given it no real consideration at all.
but, we'll see, right?
whatever. the ultimate end is that markets will cease to exist when people cease to make them. the machines will box themselves into a mathematically constructed box. (applying reductio ad absurdum).
light sweet is a cleaner burning (low sulfur) product. slightly different demand profile. for example, an increase in brent supplies may not affect light sweet prices. I presume there are demand considerations that depend on blend and the nature of the spot demand (end user).
but hey...
wow, cool replies! and I thought my thoughts were deep!
markets can make you feel like an old stuffed animal in a poodle's jaws one day, and like a frog on a lilly pad the next.
I'm not sure which is harder: dating or trading.
