What exactly is spot crude oil?
There are four main investment methods in the world: spot investment, futures investment, futures indexed investment and power stock investment; But China is not interested in futures index investment and power stock investment, so the main domestic investment methods are spot investment and futures investment. During this period, spot investment is a new domestic crude oil investment method, and only one domestic oil exchange makes spot investment in oil.

Spot investment first implements T+0 trading mode, which is characterized by no time limit and repeated multi-hand trading every day. And it has leverage, which can generally reach about 20 times. You can use the remaining funds for other investments. This can improve the utilization rate of investors' funds; It has a two-way business mechanism of buying up and buying down, which can buy up and buy down, with flexible trading and little wind. Before 20 14, this kind of transaction was only used for transactions between large institutions. After 20 14 personal investment channel is opened, individuals can cooperate with comprehensive members of the exchange to invest.

Futures investment

Futures investment is different from spot trading. Although futures trading is developed on the basis of spot trading, the object of futures trading is not oil products, but standardized contracts about oil.

Investing in petroleum commodities

Refined oil, fuel oil, lubricating oil, crude oil, natural gas and comprehensive chemical products are six categories. Among the six petroleum products, refined oil is the most important petroleum investment product, because refined oil is the most used light oil in the world at present, which is mainly divided into three categories: motor gasoline, aviation oil and solvent gasoline.

Crude oil investment is undoubtedly a new thing for domestic investors, and people can't help but ask: does crude oil investment have great advantages? 2. Why does crude oil investment have great advantages?

First, compared with its flexible trading mode, crude oil investment has higher capital utilization efficiency. China investors are undoubtedly familiar with the diversity of capital market transactions. In view of the domestic stock market, people can't help but feel that it is a pity to abandon it and the food is tasteless. A shares have been in a bear market since 2009. Coupled with the unique unilateral trading mode of A shares, there are few opportunities for investors to participate in the market, which also increases the investment risk. However, the advantages of the two-way trading model of crude oil investment have been well reflected. Compared with stocks, the biggest advantage of crude oil investment lies in the efficiency of capital utilization. Crude oil investment adopts margin trading, which improves the efficiency of capital utilization compared with full stock trading.

The unique T+ 1 trading mechanism in China stock market makes the stock operation very difficult and inflexible. T+0 trading mechanism of crude oil investment is easy to grasp the market at any time, avoid risks and has strong operational flexibility.
