There's no spike, Al.

It's just the contango on the futures contract, as they move from showing the Feb 09 to Mar 09 contract, as their benchmark quote.
cotango is when the forward price is greater than the current spot price, correct?
i dont understand then, why is my current spot so high?

Oil producers are so desperate for cash that they're willing to take money now even if it's way less than they could get for the same stuff six months from now.

This is one explanation. Another could be associated with holding inventory costs...

You're right, contango is the steepness of the forward cuve.

What spot contract do they use? Who's your broker?

Can only think they're quoting a Feb contract as their main crude oil quote.

So it's just the contango effect you've seen and not a spike.
