What does it mean to fry crude oil and go short ? Short-selling, also known as short-selling, short-selling (Hong Kong term), short-selling (Singapore-Malaysian term), is an investment term for stocks, futures, etc., and a mode of operation in stocks, futures and other markets.
Short-selling crude oil : It refers to the expectation that the price will fall in the future, sell the crude oil at the current price, and buy it after the market falls to make a profit from the difference. It is characterized by the transaction behavior of selling first and then buying.
It’s actually a bit like the credit transaction model in business. This model can be profitable in the wave of falling prices, that is, borrow goods at a high level and sell them, and then buy and return them after the price falls. For example, if a stock is expected to fall in the future, borrow the stock when the current price is high (the actual transaction is to buy a bearish contract) and sell it, and then buy it when the stock price falls to a certain level, and return it to the seller at the current price. The difference is profit.
