Crude Oil Futures

CME Crude Oil Futures (CL), also known as West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is one of the most active and liquid market in the futures market. WTI is the benchmark for Crude Oil pricing. In Malaysia, it didn't enjoy the same popularity as compare to our beloved FKLI and FCPO. It is probably due to its long trading hours and volatility. It trades almost 24 hours a day. However, I strongly recommend this market to readers because of its volatility, liquidity and profit opportunity.
