Oil’s rally continues

Oil’s march higher continued unhindered overnight, with Brent and WTI posting another set of impressive gains. A surprise drop by US API Crude Inventories by 3.8 million barrels helped the bullish momentum, with markets ignoring the rise in refined product stocks. Disruptions to Libyan and Ecuadorian production were supportive, but the Macron remarks yesterday around Saudi Arabia and the UAE’s limited production capacity seems to have been the main driver.

OPEC meets today and tomorrow, but the meeting is likely going to be just a rubber stamp exercise this month. More important will be tonight’s US official Crude Inventory data from the EIA, which is a double header release, including last week’s delayed release due to technical issues. With two weeks of data coming out, it will be a bit of a turkey shoot tonight and we can expect plenty of volatility around the release. I am not going to predict the outcome on this one, but I believe the oil price downside remains limited.

Brent crude rose by 2.40% to USD 118.15 overnight but has retreated by 1.30% to USD 116.70 a barrel in Asia today. WTI rose by 1.90% to USD 111.90 overnight, falling 0.90% to USD 111.00 a barrel in Asia. The price action seems to be in line with the general correction lower by the US dollar in Asia today. ​

Notably, Brent crude tested and held its rising longer-term support line, today at USD 108.00, and its 100-day moving average (DMA) last week. That is a technical development that should be respected. Brent crude has support at USD 115.75, and then USD 111.50. Resistance here is at USD 118.50, and then USD 120.00 a barrel.

WTI’s technical picture has improved markedly overnight after regaining its rising 2022 support line at USD 108.00 a barrel. It has resistance at USD 112.50 which clears the way for a retest of USD 116.00. Support is at USD 109.75 and then USD 108.00 a barrel.

Gold is sleepless in Singapore

Gold remains the forgotten asset class, finishing 0.15% lower at USD 1820.00 overnight, before creeping up to USD 1821.00 an ounce in Asia today. A series of lower daily highs suggests that downside risks are increasing for gold prices, although it still lacks momentum to break out of the USD 1800 to USD 1900.00 range. Bring a good book until we see a large directional move by the US dollar.

Aurul are rezistență la 1840.00 USD, 1860.00 USD și 1880.00 USD, acesta din urmă părând un obstacol de netrecut pentru moment. Suportul este de 1805.00 USD și apoi 1780.00 USD uncia. Eșecul acestuia din urmă pune în mișcare o corecție mult mai profundă, potențial ajungând la 1700.00 USD uncia. În partea de sus, ar trebui să văd câteva închideri zilnice peste 1900.00 USD pentru a fi entuziasmat de un raliu revigorat.
