It is equivalent to the bank's gambling disk for investors, and investors enter the market to gamble. Banks only rely on the bid-ask spread set higher than the international oil price to make stable profits. For example, if one person buys 1 1,000 barrels and one person buys 1 1,000 barrels, and the trading points of these two people are the same, then for the bank, the two transactions are even, and the bank earns two handling fees.
The reality is that long and short transactions cannot be completely equal, so banks will hedge the extra multiple or empty orders by buying other related financial derivatives to control risks and ensure the profits of banks.
