it cant be spot oil i dont think.. that would involve the storage of barrels of oil. Maybe its the future?

I don't know about the storage of barrels, but cmc only do forward contracts not spot/cash price.

Yup it's futures for pretty much everything oil based I believe.

If you want to trade spot oil - then maybe a trip to your local esso?

Are you sure it is spot?

Most 'front months' are forward contracts.

This is the near term future. You can trade it as though it was spot, but the price will move with the future, so the contango premium will be in the price. However, The near future usually equals spot a few days after the the previous month expires, so if you traded in that period, it should actually be spot.

Front month is still a futures contract ... and it will still rollover ... be careful
