The world oil market is characterized as highly volatile, which causes uncertainty in the economy and the need for market participants to adapt to changing business conditions. At the same time, taking into account the growing activity on the commodity stock market and the growth in the number of investors, it is not surprising that the relationship between trading and a surge in oil price volatility is traced. However, the question of what impact the change in fundamental factors has on investors' expectations and behavior remains open, and in this connection this work is devoted to the study of the mutual influence of market conditions and the activity of participants in the futures market of oil.
