Dubai, United Arab Emirates-Tuesday 19 May 2020 [ AETOS Wire ]

Leading Global Forex Brokerage firm, Axiory Global Ltd  is all set to enter a new era in oil trading with two brand new products that have been especially designed to combat negative oil prices: the US Oil Index and the UK Oil Index. Last month saw a historic crash when West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil, May futures contracts, dropped below $0 for the first time ever. As a result, Axiory Global sprang into action by disabling trading on WTI owing to exceptionally high volatility and adding Brent Crude Oil to its assets.

The US Oil Index and the UK Oil Index are rebased at $100, which means that even if the price of oil drops into negative territory, the indices will remain $100 higher. For example, if Brent oil drops to $-5, the UK Oil Index will trade it at $95.

Both products are independent tradable instruments, but their price movements are linked to the movement of oil prices + $100 ... Read more »
