el petróleo podría llegar a los 250 dólares por barril: por qué se alcanzaría ese valor

Petróleo

Los operadores de petróleo acumularon contratos de opciones por valor de más de tres millones de barriles en una apuesta a que los precios por unidad de barril sea de 250 dólares en junio, pues los riesgos geopolíticos siguen siendo elevadas.

Cerca de 3.000 lotes de opciones de compra de petróleo estadounidense a 250 dólares de junio se negociaron por un centavo cada uno el martes, según datos compilados por Bloomberg. (Lea: Venezuela rechaza ‘pretensiones’ de EE. UU. para controlar su industria petrolera). Los volúmenes de opciones alcistas sobre el petróleo han disparado hasta alcanzar un récord, lo que provocó que la prima de las opciones de compra sobre las de venta haya subido esta semana a su nivel más alto desde el mes de octubre del año pasado, mientras Israel promete retaliar a los ataques de Irán durante el último fin de semana, según ‘Bloomberg Línea’.

UU. han incrementado por encima de los 85 dólares y el Brent está cotizando cerca de los 90 dólares, pues el temor a que escale el conflicto en Medio Oriente se ve acentuado por la escasez de oferta y la fuerte demanda.
