In case ur query is not resolved tbrough this video, feel free to contact me at Instagram

I was receiving many doubts regarding preparation strategy for July 2020 exams. Also some students of Nov 2020 were asking certain questions...Have tried to address all such queries in this video

Saw this discussion in a professional group of chartered accounts...Thought of sharing with you I know many of you wouldnt be having knowledge of Futures since they are part of CA Final syllabus...but i assume you wl b able to get some sense of what happened yesterday in US due to which Oil prices crashed

You are all seeing the news flash talking about oil price going negative. So here is a very brief simplified explanation for what's happening 1. Most of the oil is traded via Futures Contracts. There is a Spot Price as well, which is taken into account while arriving at the "theoretical futures price" 2. There are two main Futures Contracts (remember this is simplified) - The WTI and the Brent 3. WTI refers to the Oil from North America, while Brent refers to oil from Middle-east, Europe and Russia 4. There are a million variants, but we will omit those for the moment, since they complicate the discussion without really adding any clarity 5. The "Oil Price" that's gone negative is the settlement prices for the May 2020 Delivery Contract (ONLY THAT ONE) 6. Some more complexity - There are two forms of settlements for Crude Oil Futures Contracts (and for most commodities), viz Net Settlement and Physical Delivery 7. Net settlement allows the buyers of the contracts to settle the financial difference between the buying price and the settlement price 8. If a buyer of a Futures Contract doesn't opt for net settlement on or before the "Notice Date", which passed last week for the May 2020 Delivery, then they are assumed to be taking physical delivery of the underlying quantity of Crude Oil 9, And that's the "technical problem" that's pushing the settlement price of May 2020 Delivery Contracts to become negative. There is a buyer, or a series of buyers, who are stuck with physical delivery option that they can't actually use, ie they can't take physical delivery of the underlying crude oil because they don't have the storage capacity to store this 10. The negative price indicates that they are getting some buyer, probably a refiner, or a storage facility or a driller, to take the delivery off their hands by PAYING them to buy the oil that's ready for May delivery 11. It's never happened before in the history of Crude Oil Futures trading. It's a very unique situation 12. However, the June delivery WTI futures are still trading in positive territory at $20+/ BBL. And the Brent Futures for June 2020 delivery are trading at $25+/ BBL 13. Will this have implications: surely so. It means that the US Crude Oil producers are now facing a glut and if they don't stop drilling, they will have to give the oil away free, and/or pay people to buy that oil. 14. This oil can't be dumped or disposed off, since that will cause an environmental disaster and result in billions of dollars of penalty (Exxon Valdez, Deepwater Horizon, etc.) But now problem is drilling cannot be stopped as cost of drilling high & cannot be kept idle.

Big win for Deloitte and KPMG...At a time when theur business is already under pressure, this verdict will give some breather to them. Although it is highly likely Gov will definately file appeal against this order to SC

No five-year ban on Deloitte, KPMG in big IL&FS breather https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/services/consultancy-/-audit/big-win-for-deloitte-kpmg-in-ilfs-case-where-government-was-seeking-to-ban-them/articleshow/75269235.cms

Here's a perfect example of why it is not always beneficial to give GST exemption to a particular product or service The same issue came before government when some NGOs demanded exemption for sanitary pad...In that case also gov came out with a press release to explain this, but eventually due to public pressurez they had to give GST exemption (and ultimately it was not beneficial for sanitary pad industey and there was no price reduction).
