摘要:After plummeting to $-40 in April, WTI crude oil extended rally to as high as $42.51 in last month. Although it currently remains range bound between $42.51 and $38.50, there is possibility afterwards that it will settle lower and then stay weak.
After plummeting to $-40 in April, WTI crude oil extended rally to as high as $42.51 in last month. Although it currently remains range bound between $42.51 and $38.50, there is possibility afterwards that it will settle lower and then stay weak.
WTI's unprecedented retaliatory rebound emerged because Saudi Arabia and Russia has ended the price war and cooperated to stabilize market by sharply reducing production. Meanwhile, the fresh highs in U.S. stocks coupled with the robust recovery in U.S. economy earlier also contribute to this rebound. Nevertheless, the current oil market will encounter two major challenges, inevitably leading to large adjustment in oil prices of high level.
This adjustment is pushed by the globally worsened pandemic. Under this condition, both aviation and tourism industry are getting worse. It is estimated that a mass of airlines and large travel agencies will close temporarily or even collapse, which will fatally shock oil prices. In addition, since the U.S. and even global economies were caught out by the worsened pandemic as well, financial markets are concerned over crude oil glut arising from lower demand.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and Russia agreed to loosen production caps by August, partly recovering the oil supply. Besides, financial markets forecast that the supply of U.S. shale oil will pick up continuously amid benefits from the swelling oil prices.
Investors will keep eye on the last trading day of WTI each time there is a crisis in oil prices. WTI crude oil for September delivery will expire on August 20, following wild fluctuation in mid-August. A breach below in WTI may see the support levels below distributed in $37.09, $34.37 and $30.72. As far as I am concerned, it will test lower till $30.72 before staying constructive and rangebound.
