The Pentium Era - South to North

Chapter 1213 Crude Oil Futures

As soon as Meng Ping, Ren Rongrong, Chen Yaqin and the others arrived at the company, Ren Rongrong and Chen Yaqin quickly started reading on the computer. At this time, the Internet was almost full of news about the World Trade Center.

Meng Ping stood behind one person for a while, and then stood behind another one for a while.

Everyone was talking about it.

This morning, the terrorists hijacked not three planes, but four. United Airlines Flight 93 from New Jersey to San Francisco was also hijacked by them. The terrorists planned to hijack the plane and fly to Washington. They occupied the cab. Finally, the crew and passengers were rushed to the rear of the aircraft.

At 9:40, some of the people on board had already learned about the attack on the World Trade Center through contact with the ground, and knew that they had become suicide bombs for terrorists.

After discussion with the crew on board, everyone decided to resist. The black box and related call records found afterwards restored this thrilling process:

At 9:57, the passengers' counterattack began. One passenger said on the phone to his family: "Everyone is rushing to the first class cabin. I have to go too. Goodbye."

At 9:59 minutes and 52 seconds, the tape recorder recorded huge blows, crashes, shouts, and the breaking of glass and plates in the cabin.

At 10:026 seconds, by this time, the first-class cabin of the plane should have been occupied by passengers. A passenger shouted loudly: "Get into the cockpit, or we will be dead!"

Then there was the sound of something hitting the cockpit door, and everyone cheering.

Sixteen seconds later, a passenger yelled: "Come on!"

At 10:02:23, the plane began to face downwards and turned over in the air. As the passengers continued to fight back, the plane crashed at a speed of 580 miles per hour in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, only a short distance from Washington, DC. Flight time is approximately 20 minutes.

All 40 passengers and crew members were killed. Forty-four bodies were recovered from the wreckage of the plane, four of which were terrorists.

News soon spread online, saying that, according to CNN or the Associated Press, the U.S. Department of Defense and the CIA had identified terrorists who were bin Laden's men supported by Iraq, and the U.S. would attack Iraq in retaliation.

Iraq is an important oil-producing country in the Middle East. This news soon caused turmoil in the international financial market. Although the U.S. financial market has been closed, the reactions of other markets in the world, especially foreign exchange and crude oil, were almost 24 hours a day. The market, which continues to trade, has begun to respond.

Although the trading volume in the market is very small due to the absence of the United States, Ren Rongrong and Chen Yaqin judge that when the Tokyo foreign exchange market opens at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning and the Hong Kong foreign exchange market opens at 9 o'clock, the US dollar will definitely be affected by the first wave. .

Brent crude oil on the Singapore Exchange at 9 o'clock will also rise at the same time.

What they need to discuss now is the trading direction, trading varieties and strategies.

Lao Ni is not a heavenly being. Of course he also knows about the situation in the United States, and he also knows that for them, they are in the middle between heaven and hell.

Lao Ni also rushed over.

Lao Ni was not surprised to see Meng Ping here. At this time, this was the most exciting place. It was completely normal for Meng Ping to come here to take a look.

What they need to discuss now is Lao Ni's external account. The entire domestic financial market is still in a very closed state. It is basically at the level of self-entertainment, even if it is such a major emergency that affects the international financial market. happened, the domestic financial market was basically indifferent and unmoved.

In the domestic market, there are no varieties of crude oil futures, and there are no varieties of gold trading. Foreign exchange transactions are still prohibited, so Meng Ping's domestic accounts have nothing to do with this matter.

Meng Ping and Lao Ni said, let me see how you make money in the international market.

Ren Rongrong and Chen Yaqin both felt that the focus should be on crude oil futures, and the direction was clear, which was to buy long. Lao Ni agreed with their judgment. He said that as soon as the market opens, buy in large quantities. If you don’t buy it now, why wait?

It is definitely necessary to buy, Ren Rongrong and Chen Yaqin also agree, but they have differences in trading strategies. Ren Rongrong believes that crude oil should take advantage of this opportunity and enter an upward channel.

The number of victims and missing people in the United States was immediately announced by the media. It was said to be more than 5,000 people. The death toll will definitely exceed the 2,400 people in Pearl Harbor. This is the first time that the United States has suffered such a disaster. In the event of a large-scale attack, the Americans will definitely carry out various retaliatory actions in the Middle East.

As long as the Middle East begins to be turbulent, crude oil will definitely continue to rise. If the United States attacks Iraq, it will skyrocket.

After Chen Yaqin analyzed it, she felt that it was not necessarily the case. She said that the current economic data around the world are very ugly, and the economy has not yet recovered. As we analyzed in the afternoon, there is a reason why crude oil has been lying there for a long time. , it can be said that the fundamentals supporting the rise of crude oil are still very poor.

Second, OPEC has not yet made a decision to cut production. Each oil-producing country has its own evil intentions, and it is still very difficult to make a decision. As long as OPEC does not cut production, the situation of oversupply in the crude oil market will not fundamentally change, and there will be no fundamental change in the price of crude oil. No.

Don’t forget, this incident will definitely cause a heavy blow to the U.S. economy, including the U.S. financial market. How many financial companies are there in these two buildings? The U.S. economy will definitely go through a difficult period, and if oil prices are high, it will definitely make the U.S. economy even worse. Do those American guys in the Middle East dare to let oil prices rise for a long time?

Finally, there is another point. Countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have huge investments in the United States. If the U.S. economy fails to recover, they will also suffer losses. They do not want the United States to suffer economic recovery due to high oil prices. slow.

"What you said makes sense, so what do you think should be done?" Lao Ni asked Chen Yaqin.

"I think that affected by this sudden event, crude oil will rise in the short term, but I am not optimistic about the long term. This rise is an irrational stress reaction type of rise and cannot be sustained, because the price that rises due to the sudden event will soon We were knocked back to our original shape, so we can only plan for short-term trading, fast in and fast out.”

As Chen Yaqin spoke, Ren Rongrong kept shaking her head. She said NONO, Yaqin, your judgment is wrong. As long as the United States' high pressure on the Middle East continues, oil prices will not fall, and preparations for war will take at least a few At this time, oil prices will continue to rise, and the last surge will be the day when the war begins.

I think we need to make plans for medium and long-term trading. Otherwise, if we leave the market prematurely, we may miss the opportunity to enter the market again.

Lao Ni looked at the two of them and asked, you two have no objection to entering the venue tomorrow morning, right?

Ren Rongrong and Chen Yaqin nodded.

Lao Ni agreed that tomorrow morning, no matter what, he would enter the venue first. As for the rest of the matter, we would talk about it after entering the venue.

From the bottom of his heart, Lao Ni agreed with Ren Rongrong's statement. They all talked about making war fortune and making war fortune. Now it was not easy to find such a good opportunity for himself. He still couldn't make a lot of money. If he did it for a few days, he could make a fortune. How can you enjoy yourself with little money?

Chen Yaqin sighed, and she said okay, then she will buy it tomorrow.

"Tomorrow morning, use 70% of the position to buy long." Lao Ni said.

Chen Yaqin and Ren Rongrong were both shocked. Chen Yaqin said: "Such a large position is too risky!"

This time, even Rongrong expressed his opposition. Seventy percent of the position was a desperate gamble and should never be done like this.

Ren Rongrong and Chen Yaqin both objected vigorously, and Lao Ni was helpless. After all, they were the ones doing the actual trading, so Lao Ni had to compromise, and finally agreed to use 40% of the position.

By the time they had settled everything, it was past twelve o'clock. In the meantime, Lao Ni's phone kept vibrating. Lao Ni looked at it and didn't answer it. Instead, he pressed it directly. This time, Lao Ni's phone was vibrating. After Ni pressed the phone down again, he stood up and told Meng Ping to take a walk and have a midnight snack.

Meng Ping knew that the one who kept calling Lao Ni must be Jiaojiao. Lao Ni called himself instead of calling Ren Rongrong and Chen Yaqin. When they went to have a midnight snack together, it must be Jiaojiao who would go with him. Okay, she is in Lao Ni's car now.

Meng Ping discovered that Lao Ni especially liked to take these girls to have dinner with him and Zhuangzi. It used to be Mengyao and Feifei, but now it's Jiaojiao. Probably because they didn't understand what they were talking about, and they seemed to be very high-ranking, and even How many hundreds of millions of dollars can especially scare girls into admiring Lao Ni?

Meng Ping hated doing this kind of thing from the bottom of his heart.

Meng Ping looked at Chen Yaqin and Ren Rongrong and found that they were both pouting secretly, thinking that they had run away from the New Sanmao Hotel in a hurry and had not even eaten dinner. In fact, they only invited half of his guests.

Meng Ping and Lao Ni said, you can do as you please, you have many things to do every day and are busy with your business. I don't dare to delay your important events, so I still flatter them and invite them to have a midnight snack.

Meng Ping did not refer to Ren Rongrong or Chen Yaqin, but to Ma Li and the others.

Lao Ni laughed and said, "Then I won't care about you?"

"Okay, just treat me like a fart and let me go right here." Meng Ping said.

Lao Ni smiled and walked out.

Guessing that Lao Ni had already gone downstairs, Meng Ping, Ren Rongrong, Chen Yaqin and the others said, let's go, how about going to Longxiang Bridge to eat seafood?

"Reliable, Lao Meng!" Ren Rongrong patted him on the shoulder.

"I'm going to treat you, I'm going to treat you tonight." Baojuan shouted loudly, shaking Meng Ping's wallet in her hand.
