This oil crash is incredible!

West Texas oil for May delivery has fallen below $8/barrel.

But you can see by comparing May delivery (white) vs. June how much of this is about there being physical oil that's about to be delivered and almost nobody having a place to store it.
Crazy to think that if you bought oil for May delivery last night around 9 PM, you're already down 83%
It seems crazy to think that the price of a commodity could plunge over 80% in a few hours.

But in an extreme situation, just a tiniest shift in the supply/demand equation can result in huge price swings.
