Version 1.58 (2024-07-20 07:01:25.944000)
updates: The International Energy Agency (IEA) has revised its oil demand growth forecast for 2019 to 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd), down from its previous estimate of 1.2 million bpd. The IEA cited trade tensions, a slowing global economy, and a warmer-than-usual winter as factors contributing to the downward revision. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies have agreed to extend production cuts until March 2020 in an effort to support prices. However, the effectiveness of these cuts in balancing the market remains uncertain. The ongoing US-China trade dispute and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are also impacting oil prices. Brent crude oil prices have fallen below $63 per barrel, while WTI crude oil prices have dropped below $56 per barrel.

Version 1.54 (2024-07-19 08:03:29.020000)
updates: Oil prices faced downward pressure as concerns about slowing demand in China and tightening supply in the US weighed on market sentiment. The Chinese economy grew at a slower rate of 4.7% in the second quarter, the slowest growth since Q1 2023, raising concerns about a decrease in oil demand. Additionally, a stronger US dollar made oil more expensive for investors holding other currencies. However, US crude oil inventories fell by 4.4 million barrels in the week ended July 12, indicating tightening supply. Rising geopolitical risk, including an attack on a Liberia-flagged oil tanker by Yemen's Houthis in the Red Sea, also helped limit the decline in oil prices. The market is awaiting announcements from the Third Plenum in Beijing this week, which is expected to shape market sentiment due to China's oil demand growth. The possibility of imminent U.S. central bank rate cuts enticed some trades and kept oil prices from sinking even more. Fed officials said the U.S. central bank is closer to cutting rates given inflation's improved trajectory and a labor market in better balance. The European Central Bank kept interest rates unchanged as expected on Thursday and gave no hints about its next move. A mini OPEC+ ministerial meeting scheduled for early August, meanwhile, is unlikely to recommend changing the group’s oil output policy.

updates: Oil prices steadied on Thursday as investors wrestled with mixed signals about crude demand; Brent futures settled at $85.11 a barrel, rising 3 cents, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 3 cents to settle at $82.82 a barrel; The number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits rose more than expected last week; Fed officials said on Wednesday the U.S. central bank is closer to cutting rates given inflation’s improved trajectory and a labor market in better balance, possibly setting the stage for a reduction in borrowing costs in September; Despite government data on Wednesday that showed U.S. crude inventories fell by 4.9 million barrels last week, more than forecast by analysts in a Reuters poll, weak U.S. gasoline demand kept oil prices from moving higher; Economic growth in China, which is the biggest importer of crude oil, also weighed on prices; The European Central Bank kept interest rates unchanged as expected and gave no hints about its next move; A mini OPEC+ ministerial meeting scheduled for early August, meanwhile, is unlikely to recommend changing the group’s oil output policy

updates: Oil prices stabilize as Brent crude oil futures were down by 4 cents to $83.69 per barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures eased 4 cents to $80.72. Concerns over weakening demand growth in China clash with the prospect of declining U.S. oil inventories. China's economy grew 4.7 percent in Q2 2024, the slowest growth since Q1 2023. A stronger U.S. dollar puts downward pressure on oil prices. U.S. crude oil inventories fell by 4.4 million barrels in the week ended July 12. U.S. retail sales were unchanged in June, bolstering economic growth prospects. Geopolitical risks limit oil price declines as a Liberia-flagged oil tanker was attacked in the Red Sea.

updates: Oil prices rose as signs of easing inflationary pressures in the US emerged. Brent crude peaked above $86 a barrel, though it was still set for a weekly decline. Investor confidence was bolstered after data showed US consumer prices fell in June, stoking hopes that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates soon. Lower rates are expected to boost economic growth and fuel consumption. The market is still awaiting clearer signs of action from the Fed. US gasoline demand was at its highest since 2019, and jet fuel demand was at its strongest since January 2020. US refiners ramped up activity and drew from crude oil stockpiles. Weaker demand signs from China, the world's biggest oil importer, could counter the outlook from the US and weigh on prices.

The increase in oil prices is attributed to strong US summer demand, supply concerns, geopolitical tensions, a 12.2 million barrels draw in inventories, potential Fed rate cuts, and the Gaza conflict. Russia's Rosneft and Lukoil are set to cut July exports, and Saudi Aramco has lowered Asian prices. Traders are also monitoring the war in Gaza and elections in France and the United Kingdom.

Version 1.16 (2024-06-27 05:53:34.525000)
updates: Oil prices remained stable after a slight decline due to an industry report showing an increase in US crude inventories. The market is seeking a catalyst to break out of the tightest trading range in over three years. Traders are watching for a range of US economic data over the next two days, including employment figures, which could set the tone for oil and broader markets. Oil is on track for a monthly gain and there are expectations prices will climb further over the next quarter on seasonal strength. US Gulf Coast crude inventories ballooned by 2 million barrels last week and remain at the highest since 2020 on a seasonal basis. Overall stockpiles are the biggest since April. There are signs of lackluster fuel consumption, with measures of gasoline and jet fuel demand flagging.

updates: Oil prices extended losses slightly from the previous session in early Asian trading on Monday after a survey showed weaker U.S. consumer demand and as traders awaited the release of key economic data from China. China's May domestic crude oil production rose 0.6% on year to 18.15 million tons. Year-to-date output was 89.1 million tons, up 1.8% from a year earlier. National crude oil throughput fell 1.8% in May over the same year-ago level to 60.52 million tons. Concerns of a wider Middle East war lingered after the Israeli military said intensified cross-border fire from Lebanon's Hezbollah into Israel could trigger serious escalation.

Version 0.75 (2024-06-13 05:54:34.966000)
updates: Oil prices fell as the US Federal Reserve likely pushed back a possible interest rate cut to December. Brent crude futures lost 23 cents, or 0.3%, to $82.37 a barrel, and US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures fell 20 cents, or 0.3%, to $78.30. The Fed held rates steady and pushed out the start of policy easing. Higher borrowing costs can dampen economic growth and limit oil demand. US crude stockpiles rose more than expected, driven by a jump in imports, while fuel inventories also increased. The International Energy Agency warned of excess supply. Ongoing talks for a ceasefire in Gaza could reduce fears of potential supply disruptions. Hamas proposed changes to a US-backed proposal for a ceasefire.

Version 0.7 (2024-06-06 10:57:10.599000)
updates: Oil prices extended losses slightly from the previous session in early Asian trading on Wednesday after an industry report showed builds in U.S. crude and fuel stockpiles, adding to concerns around demand growth. OPEC plans to gradually phase out 2.2 Mb/d of quota cuts starting October 1st, resulting in a knockout blow to crude prices. WTI reached a high of US$80.62/b in May but fell due to rising US inventories and weaker demand in the US and China. The two largest consuming nations may see weaker demand, potentially causing crude prices to breach US$70/b. The US credit card delinquency rate is at its highest level since 2011, indicating lower consumer spending. The Bank of Canada lowered its rate to 4.75% and may lower it further. The Canadian dollar fell to 72.92 on this news. The slowdown in the consumer side of the economy may drag the overall economy into recession, but generous deficit spending by governments is offsetting this. OPEC's plan to increase production may cause friction with Iran. China is restricting the sale of nitrocellulose to harm the US and NATO countries. The NSA warns of China's destructive cyberattacks on critical US infrastructure. President Biden is pushing for a deal between Hamas and Israel. Israel is seeing more rocket barrage attacks from Hezbollah. US inventories rose by 14.4 Mb, with commercial stocks rising by 1.2 Mb. US crude production was flat at 13.1 Mb/d. Natural gas storage rose by 84 Bcf, with storage now at 2.42 Tcf. The US rig count remained unchanged at 600 rigs, while the Canadian rig count increased to 128 rigs. The S&P/TSX Energy Index is at 282, down 14 points from last week. Energy stocks peaked in April and a correction is expected. WTI prices are expected to breach US$72/b as inventories continue to build. Longer-term, WTI prices are expected to exceed the high of US$147.27/b in 2008. The next low-risk buying opportunity for energy stocks is expected during Q3/24.

Version 0.56 (2024-05-16 07:59:59.121000)
updates: Oil prices extended gains on signs of stronger demand in the US, where data showed slower inflation than expected, bolstering the argument for an interest rate cut that could drive greater consumption. Brent futures rose 32 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $83.07 a barrel at 9:20 a.m. Saudi time, while US West Texas Intermediate crude gained 31 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $78.94. US consumer prices rose less than expected in April, boosting expectations for a September rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Crude inventories fell 2.5 million barrels to 457 million barrels in the week ended May 10, according to the Energy Information Administration. The International Energy Agency (IEA) trimmed its forecast for 2024 oil demand growth, widening the gap between its view and that of OPEC. Global oil demand this year will grow by 1.1 million barrels per day, down 140,000 bpd from its previous forecast, largely due to weak demand in developed nations of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Both Brent crude and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude are on track for their first weekly rise in five, supported by expectations that OPEC+ could reduce supply to balance the markets into 2024. In China, analysts predict that oil demand growth could weaken in the first half of 2024 due to the country's property sector crunch. Non-OPEC production growth is expected to remain strong, with Petrobras planning to invest $102 billion to boost output by 2028.
