Quote from roreilly:
I have been thinking about the pipelines from Cushing, and the general assumption that oil supplies at Cushing will be drawn down. Putting aside whether this is bearish or bullish, have you given any thought as to whether this will increase WTI volatility, or reduce it. I tend to think that with less supplies on hand, we would have more volatility, for two reasons. The first is simply that there will be less supplies to cushion the extremes. and the second is that if storage is easier and cheaper, more (time) arbitrage players will come into the market. Any thoughts? I figure this is would be a significant consideration in your trading.
