And this differential encourages people to buy physical oil, and therefore, the pressure from the futures market is transmitted to the actual spot market for oil.

People buying physical oil? So much for speculators never intending to take delivery.

Follow what he is saying! The “pressure from the futures market” (ie nondelivery speculators) encourages people to buy physical oil (those who are taking actual delivery) thus “pressure from the futures market is transmitted to the actual spot market for oil.”

BTW what’s with all the name calling, trying to sooth your guilty conscience?
