What are GME Oman Crude Oil Futures?

GME is the premier international energy exchange in the middle east. The exchange was established 15 years ago to create a pricing point for crude oil produced in the region and exported to Asia through its GME Oman Futures Contract.

Middle east national oil companies use the contract to price their export of crude oil, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and Dubai, and hence the contract is pricing 5.2 million barrels per day.

18 billion barrels have been traded over the exchange and 2.5 billion barrels delivered since the launch.

What are futures contracts?

Futures are derivative contracts that allow investors to utilize larger leverage, hedge their portfolio, and benefit from short selling during a downward market. It’s a legal agreement between two parties to buy or sell a set amount of an asset at an agreed-upon future date with a price that is set today.

How do futures work?

Futures contracts allow you to gain exposure and benefit from the increase and decrease in the price.

3. How is the profit calculated?

Let’s imagine that per barrel oil price goes from
$110
$100
SCENARIO 1 (SELL) If you expected the price to go down and went short (sold a contract) you would have made a profit because the price went down
Original value $110 x 100 Barrel = $11,000
New Value $100 x 100 Barrel = $10,000
Your profit is the difference in value: $1,000
SCENARIO 2 (BUY) If you expected the price to go up and went long (bought a contract) you would have made a loss
Original value $110 x 100 Barrel = $11,000
New Value $100 x 100 Barrel = $10,000
Your loss is the difference in value: $1,000
