Few people remember, but exactly six years ago, oil cost 0 per barrel.



The WTI crude oil futures contract actually went negative and traded at -$37.63 per barrel. This was the first and so far only case of negative oil prices in history.

Oil became free, and even worse: sellers (including American shale producers) literally paid buyers to take barrels, otherwise they would have had to pay penalties for non-delivery on futures. There was simply nowhere to put the physical oil in Cushing (the main storage facility): everything was packed to the brim.

This happened under Trump. Geopolitics + pandemic + price war.

Today, exactly six years later, the same Trump is sending oil to the hundredth.
