Crude Oil Sees Mild Bullish Movement

Recommended Posts

The price of crude oil saw steady gains throughout the morning session yesterday, climbing as high as $93.84 a barrel before dropping during mid-day trading. Analysts attributed the bullish movement to better than forecasted economic growth in several Asian countries. That being said, poor news out of the euro-zone and US eventually brought the commodity as low as $92.79.

 

Turning to today, market sentiment toward the euro-zone is likely to dictate the direction oil takes. Fears that Greece will be forced to exit the euro-zone have led to significant risk aversion in the marketplace. Any announcements today that would indicate this trend will continue may weigh down on the price of oil.

 

How ever the rupee has crashed from Rs 45 to Rs 54 to the dollar, before recovering slightly to Rs 52.80 on Friday. Dismayed corporations and politicians want the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to intervene in currency markets and prop up the rupee.

 

This would be a terrible mistake. The rupee's fall is not a technical monetary phenomenon. Rather, it signifies a loss of confidence in India by foreign investors, and by Indians too.

 

Analysts at J.P. Morgan said that while the recent fall in Brent futures was expected due to a projected buildup in global inventories in the second quarter, the market could tighten in second half of the year as stocks are withdrawn.

 

Nymex reformulated gasoline blendstock for June--the benchmark gasoline contract--fell 182 points to $2.8600 a gallon, while June heating oil traded at $2.8291, 199 points lower.

 

ICE gasoil for June changed hands at $904.75 a metric ton, down $13.75 from Thursday's settlement. NOW will the next recession will hit the market or not thats the big question. Crude Oil Sees Mild Bullish Movement but as far i feel its not positive for Indian as i have been using the technical analysis tools of Dynamics level, then i started to read the reviews from various source, may be my perception is wrong but investors will withdraw from all markets associated with risk— including emerging markets like India--and rush into safe havens like the US and just sit on cash.

I might not be a greatest analyst but as i feel after anlalysing the stocks from technical analysis tool of dynamics level Sector-wise, I think penny stock will still be in play until the music stops. The maritime and basic material sector remain the weaker sectors and the property and small cap remain the stronger sectors.

 

 

* The SPX (S&P 500) dropped yesterday for the 5th consecutive trading day. The Nasdaq has likewise seen strong downside pressure as a decline was experienced for large-cap tech shares.

* The S&P index has fallen 3.31% so far this week and 6.7% in the month of May. Volatility is not expected to decrease in the near term but their is potential for profit taking if speculative shorts are liquidated around the 1285-1289 area and fresh longs initiated.

* This potential technical support area, as highlighted on the daily timeframe chart below, is comprised of the previous resistance daily high from 27/10/2011 and 38.2% Fibonacci retrace of the last upside wave.

* Any move higher would have to be seen as strongly counter trend as the prevailing, high momentum, S&P 500 downtrend shows no sign of slowing at present.

* The failure to make a new high on the 1st May and subsequent drop has left a near “double top” chart pattern at the recent range highs. This drop has come from an almost four- year high point set on April 2nd 2012.

Greek President Karolos Papoulias announced the new vote two days ahead of when many were expecting the formal announcement so, while it wasn't a complete surprise, it still rattled investors across Europe.

 

That raises the risk of Greece leaving the eurozone, which could cause further problems for other European economies that are still on shaky ground.How ever britain banks are strong enough to withstand any Greek exit from the eurozone but need to keep bolstering their financial strength in the face of the escalating crisis, according to a member of a Bank of England regulatory body.

 

Michael Cohrs, who is on the committee monitoring financial risks, said the eurozone crisis was unfolding on "an hour by hour" basis and it was difficult to predict where the contagion would end if Greece left the single currency.

 

If Greece leaves, the initial adjustment would be drastic. Greece would have to default on pretty much all its international debt denominated in euros, including loans from the ECB, since the value of the drachma relative to the euro would be too low to enable Greece to repay the debt. Greece would be unlikely to receive further aid from euro zone countries, and certainly Greece will not have access to the international capital market for some years to come. There would be a run on Greek banks as depositors try to get euros and lose confidence in the viability of these banks. Already, many depositors have withdrawn their deposits, as they fear Greece’s exit and a devalued drachma. Greece might be thrown out of the EU itself, which would carry great costs if it happened.

 

The exit from the eurozone of one or two of the smallest countries may not be disastrous, but a disorderly break-up of the euro that includes either Spain or Italy could well be, resulting the formation of risk of Us in three ways.

 

U.S. banks have only about $5.8 billion worth of exposure to Greek debt, a virtually insignificant amount for the banking system as a whole.

 

But the exposure to other troubled countries in Europe is significantly greater -- more than $50 billion each to Spain and Ireland, $66 billion to Italy and $6.6 billion to Portugal.

 

But all that doesn't even begin to cover the risks posed to the U.S. banking system if there is a disorderly collapse of the euro, which some say will start with a Greece exit.

There has been a constant debate over the years on what drives the price of gold and silver. Obviously we have the fundamentals that have put the metals in a bull market for the last 10 years. The powers that be have total control over money, as they set the price for capital via manipulating the interest rates. So it is not a stretch that they would be concerned with a rising gold price because gold is a threat to how the current fiat regime functions on a day-to-day basis.

 

These are just some of the reasons why it is important for the elites to pay attention to the price of gold and silver. Knowing this, the powers that be have instructed their banking arms JPMorgan, HSBC, Goldman Sachs and the like, to create paper derivatives to help manage the price.

 

Before investing in the gold or silver trading market make sure you know all the gimmicks of the international trading of these commodities. Place long positions if you think that the gold prices per ounce is increasing however, if you think that prices are going to decline you can place short positions to avoid any loss over your investment. Before putting your money into the trading of these precious commodities you must need to have a look on the past pricing patterns, technical analysis and the various charts depicting the up and downs of silver and gold rate around the globe. If you are a gold trader you must be patient and knowledgeable regarding various charts related to the stocks of gold and silver so that you can fully understand what is going on in the international market.

 

There is a continuous transformation in price of gold per gram and silver price per ounce. You can analyze the volatility in the price of both the metals by analyzing the past price patterns of these metals. With the help of careful fundamental and technical analysis of these metals you can forecast the change in the price and can secure your investments for the future.

 

For a gold silver technical analysis a multiplier is calculated based on the relationship of the close to the high-low range. Second, the Money Flow Multiplier is multiplied by the period's volume to come up with a Money Flow Volume. A running total of the Money Flow Volume forms the Accumulation Distribution Line.

 

Moving averages are one of the most widely-used methods of technical analysis because they are simple to use, and they work. Now you can learn how to apply them to your trading as i have using stock analysis software of dynamiclevels.com

    • also ... and barely on topic... Winners (always*) overpay. Buying the dips is a subscription to the belief that winners win by underpaying - when in actuality winners (inevitably/always*) win by overpaying... it’s amazing the percentage of traders who think winners win by underpaying ... “Winners (always*) overpay.” ...  One way to implement this ‘belief’ is to only reenter when prices have emphatically resumed the 'trend' .   (Fwiw, While “Winners (always*) overpay.” holds true in most endeavors (relationships, business, sports, etc...) - “Winners (always*) overpay.”  is especially true for auctions... continuous auctions included.)
    • re:  "Does it make sense to always buy the dips?  “Buy the dip.”  You hear this all the time in crypto investing trading speculation gambling. [zdo taking some liberties] It refers, of course, to buying more bitcoin (or digital assets) when they go down in price: when the price “dips.” Some people brag about “buying the dip," showing they know better than the crowd. Others “buy the dip” as an investment strategy: they’re getting a bargain. The problem is, buying the dip is a fallacy. You can’t buy the dip, because you can't see the total dip until much later. First, I’ll explain this in a way that will make it simple and obvious to you; then I’ll show you a better way of investing. You Only Know the Dip in Hindsight When people talk about “buying the dip,” what they’re really saying is, “I bought when the price was going down.” " ... example of a dip ... 
    • Date: 19th April 2024. Weekly Commodity Market Update: Oil Prices Correct and Supply Concerns Persist.   The ongoing developments in the Middle East sparked a wave of risk aversion and fueled supply concerns and investors headed for safety. Hopes for imminent rate cuts from the Federal Reserve diminish while attention is now turning towards the demand outlook. The Gold price hit a high of $2417.89 per ounce overnight. Sentiment has already calmed down again and bullion is trading at $2376.50 per ounce as haven flows ease. Oil prices initially moved higher as concern over escalating tensions with the WTI contract hit a session high of $85.508 per barrel overnight, before correcting to currently $81.45 per barrel. Oil Prices Under Pressure Amid Middle East Tensions Last week, commodity indexes showed little movement, with Oil prices undergoing a slight correction. Meanwhile, Gold reached yet another record high, mirroring the upward trend in cocoa prices. Once again today, USOil prices experienced a correction and has remained under pressure, retesting the 50-day EMA at $81.00 as we moving into the weekend. Hence, despite the Israel’s retaliatory strike on Iran, sentiments stabilized following reports suggesting a measured response aimed at avoiding further escalation. Brent crude futures witnessed a more than 4% leap, driven by concerns over potential disruptions to oil supplies in the Middle East, only to subsequently erase all gains. Similarly with USOIL, UKOIL hovers just below $87 per barrel, marginally below Thursday’s closing figures. Nevertheless, volatility is expected to continue in the market as several potential risks loom:   Disruption to the Strait of Hormuz: The possibility of Iran disrupting navigation through the vital shipping lane, is still in play. The Strait of Hormuz serves as the Persian Gulf’s primary route to international waters, with approximately 21 million barrels of oil passing through daily. Recent events, including Iran’s seizure of an Israel-linked container ship, underscore the geopolitical sensitivity of the region. Tougher Sanctions on Iran: Analysts speculate that the US may impose stricter sanctions on Iranian oil exports or intensify enforcement of existing restrictions. With global oil consumption reaching 102 million barrels per day, Iran’s production of 3.3 million barrels remains significant. Recent actions targeting Venezuelan oil highlight the potential for increased pressure on Iranian exports. OPEC Output Increases: Despite the desire for higher prices, OPEC members such as Saudi Arabia and Russia have constrained output in recent years. However, sustained crude prices above $100 per barrel could prompt concerns about demand and incentivize increased production. The OPEC may opt to boost oil output should tensions escalate further and prices surge. Ukraine Conflict: Amidst the focus on the Middle East, markets overlooking Russia’s actions in Ukraine. Potential retaliatory strikes by Kyiv on Russian oil infrastructure could impact exports, adding further complexity to global oil markets.   Technical Analysis USOIL is marking one of the steepest weekly declines witnessed this year after a brief period of consolidation. The breach below the pivotal support level of 84.00, coupled with the descent below the mid of the 4-month upchannel, signals a possible shift in market sentiment towards a bearish trend reversal. Adding to the bearish outlook are indications such as the downward slope in the RSI. However, the asset still hold above the 50-day EMA which coincides also with the mid of last year’s downleg, with key support zone at $80.00-$81.00. If it breaks this support zone, the focus may shift towards the 200-day EMA and 38.2% Fib. level at $77.60-$79.00. Conversely, a rejection of the $81 level and an upside potential could see the price returning back to $84.00. A break of the latter could trigger the attention back to the December’s resistance, situated around $86.60. A breakthrough above this level could ignite a stronger rally towards the $89.20-$90.00 zone.

    • Date: 18th April 2024. Market News – Stock markets benefit from Dollar correction. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Technical buying, bargain hunting, and risk aversion helped Treasuries rally and unwind recent losses. Yields dropped from the recent 2024 highs. Asian stock markets strengthened, as the US Dollar corrected in the wake of comments from Japan’s currency chief Masato Kanda, who said G7 countries continue to stress that excessive swings and disorderly moves in the foreign exchange market were harmful for economies. US Stockpiles expanded to 10-month high. The data overshadowed the impact of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East as traders await Israel’s response to Iran’s unprecedented recent attack. President Joe Biden called for higher tariffs on imports of Chinese steel and aluminum.   Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex stumbled, falling to 105.66 at the end of the day from the intraday high of 106.48. It lost ground against most of its G10 peers. There wasn’t much on the calendar to provide new direction. USDJPY lows retesting the 154 bottom! NOT an intervention yet. BoJ/MoF USDJPY intervention happens when there is more than 100+ pip move in seconds, not 50 pips. USOIL slumped by 3% near $82, as US crude inventories rose by 2.7 million barrels last week, hitting the highest level since last June, while gauges of fuel demand declined.

    • Date: 17th April 2024. Market News – Appetite for risk-taking remains weak. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Stocks, Treasury yields and US Dollar stay firmed. Fed Chair Powell added to the recent sell off. His slightly more hawkish tone further priced out chances for any imminent action and the timing of a cut was pushed out further. He suggested if higher inflation does persist, the Fed will hold rates steady “for as long as needed.” Implied Fed Fund: There remains no real chance for a move on May 1 and at their intraday highs the June implied funds rate future showed only 5 bps, while July reflected only 10 bps. And a full 25 bps was not priced in until November, with 38 bps in cuts seen for 2024. US & EU Economies Diverging: Lagarde says ECB is moving toward rate cuts – if there are no major shocks. UK March CPI inflation falls less than expected. Output price inflation has started to nudge higher, despite another decline in input prices. Together with yesterday’s higher than expected wage numbers, the data will add to the arguments of the hawks at the BoE, which remain very reluctant to contemplate rate cuts. Canada CPI rose 0.6% in March, double the 0.3% February increase BUT core eased. The doors are still open for a possible cut at the next BoC meeting on June 5. IMF revised up its global growth forecast for 2024 with inflation easing, in its new World Economic Outlook. This is consistent with a global soft landing, according to the report. Financial Markets Performance:   USDJPY also inched up to 154.67 on expectations the BoJ will remain accommodative and as the market challenges a perceived 155 red line for MoF intervention. USOIL prices slipped -0.15% to $84.20 per barrel. Gold rose 0.24% to $2389.11 per ounce, a new record closing high as geopolitical risks overshadowed the impacts of rising rates and the stronger dollar. Market Trends:   Wall Street waffled either side of unchanged on the day amid dimming rate cut potential, rising yields, and earnings. The major indexes closed mixed with the Dow up 0.17%, while the S&P500 and NASDAQ lost -0.21% and -0.12%, respectively. Asian stock markets mostly corrected again, with Japanese bourses underperforming and the Nikkei down -1.3%. Mainland China bourses were a notable exception and the CSI 300 rallied 1.4%, but the MSCI Asia Pacific index came close to erasing the gains for this year. Always trade with strict risk management.
