#WTI #CrudeOil Weekly Forecast: Push Higher Falters and Mid-Term Lows Sighted (3 June 2024)

Image
WTI Crude Oil saw the 80.000 USD level penetrated upwards on Wednesday of last week, only to falter and then begin a rather steady push lower. The price of WTI Crude Oil this week will begin trading near the 77.120 mark, this after touching a depth around the 76.640 ratio this past Friday. The ability to trade downwards and come within sight of values seen the previous Friday while testing mid-terms lows could prove to be significant. However, before traders rush into to say the dominant trend is downwards, they should acknowledge that a run higher early last week in WTI Crude Oil achieved a high of nearly 80.590 on Wednesday. The incremental move higher starting last week only to run into headwinds after month long resistance was tested is noteworthy.

WTI Crude Oil’s ability to move back to mid-term lows before the oil conference will spark intrigue and concerns in the minds of specul...

#WTI #CrudeOil Weekly Forecast: Higher Sustained Prices Developing Strength (18-22 March 2024)

After penetrating the 80.000 USD price level on Thursday of last week WTI Crude Oil has shown sustained value and the coming days will be intriguing for speculators. WTI Crude Oil will open trading within eyesight of the 81.000 USD price early Monday. Last week’s trading saw the 80.000 mark penetrated and brushed to the side on early Thursday as speculators seemingly reacted to U.S Inventory data from the previous day, which showed a shortfall of over one million barrels. The U.S and global production is solid, but the price of WTI has been showing a steady flirtation with higher prices since early February. The bullish trend in WTI not only passed the 80.000 USD mark on Thursday, but sustained its momentum without any volatile reversals lower. Since late in February, the 77.000 USD price has acted as rather durable support and did so again this past Tuesday and early on Wednesday.

OIL TICKS HIGHER ON ABATING OVERSUPPLY CONCERN AMONG INVESTORS: 19 JUNE |FOREX RECOMMENDATIONS

Crude oil prices extend its previous session gains as bulls take control on cooling down of oversupply fears among investors after a successful OPEC meeting on Thursday. The meeting ended with a promise to hold on existing cuts by countries like Iraq and Kazakhstan for the additional period of three months. Both countries will now compensate for their overproduction in May, by drawing extra barrel out of market, even if other OPEC producers do not extend record production cuts. In addition, the meeting offsets the supply concern of rising inventories and provided a modest lift to crude prices. As of this moment, US WTI is trading 1.05% higher at $39.33 per barrel, while Brent crude is trading 1.06% higher at $41.78 per barrel. Meanwhile, crude oil is poised to register weekly gains as it is trading 7.63% higher, after registering losses in previous week.
