Hedge funds and money managers are experiencing a short squeeze in the oil market, driven by depleting inventories at Cushing delivery point in Oklahoma. This has led to a surge in portfolio managers covering bearish short positions, particularly in U.S. crude futures and options. The short squeeze is also impacting the natural gas market, with fund managers reducing positions and predicting lower prices due to oversupply.
