Futures markets are almost always hardcore B/S because most of the participants playing them are day traders, not companies/individuals using futures to hedge on their input costs for business. This sound similar to how oil prices went "negative" in 2020, where the day traders were all abandoning ship because they couldn't actually take delivery on the future contracts they owned.
