“Wet” trading is a phrase in the oil business equivalent to physicals trading – there is no such thing as dry trading (3 points). Physical trading is usually in contrast to paper/derivatives trading, in which forward trading predominates and many of the deals will be offset later without actual delivery (3 points).
