ЦЕНА НЕФТИ: ПОКА НИЖЕ $70
РЕЙТЕР , BLOOMBERG - Цены на нефть малоподвижны на утренних торгах в среду, при этом аналитики указывают на риски понижательной коррекции.
К 9.30 МСК фьючерсы на маркерный сорт Brent опустились на 0,01 процента до $69,14 за баррель. В понедельник котировки североморской смеси поднялись до трёхлетнего пика на уровне $70,37 за баррель.
Фьючерсные контракты на американскую лёгкую нефть WTI к этому времени торговались у отметки $63,72 за баррель, на 0,02 процента ниже предыдущего закрытия.
По мнению Норберта Рюкера из Julius Baer, "коррекция неизбежна... учитывая чрезмерный рост числа спекулятивных позиций на дальнейший подъём цен (на нефть)".
На прошлой неделе нетто-лонг по контрактам на североамериканский бенчмарк WTI достиг нового рекорда. За торговую неделю, завершившуюся 9 января, число контрактов выросло на 45.804 до 501.134, следует из данных Комиссии по торговле товарными фьючерсами (CFTC).
Но несмотря на текущий спад, отраслевые эксперты в целом считают, что показатели рынка хорошие, что во многом обеспечили договорённости Организации стран-нефтеэкспортёров ОПЕК и не входящих в неё государств, включая Россию.
В конце ноября они условились продлить действие глобального пакта об ограничении добычи сырья ради выравнивания баланса спроса и предложения.
Устойчивый спрос также поддерживает рынок, добавляют аналитики.
При этом одним из основных факторов, сдерживающих его дальнейший подъём, остаётся упрямый рост нефтедобычи в США.
По прогнозу Управления энергетической информации (EIA), производство сырья в стране в скором времени преодолеет отметку 10 миллионов баррелей в сутки, невзирая на недавнее снижение из-за морозов.

EIA - Brent crude oil prices averaged $54/b in 2017 and are forecast to average $60/b in 2018 and $61/b in 2019. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil spot prices are forecast to average $4/b less than Brent prices in both 2018 and 2019. EIA’s forecast for the average WTI price for December 2018 of $58/b should be considered in the context of NYMEX contract values for December 2018 delivery. NYMEX contract values traded during the five-day period ending January 4 suggest that a range of $40/b to $85/b encompasses the market expectation for WTI prices in December 2018 at the 95% confidence level.

OIL PRICES: NOT ABOVE $70 YET
REUTERS, BLOOMBERG - Oil prices gave up some early gains on Wednesday as analysts warned of a downward correction, but remained well supported on the back of tightening supply and strong global demand.
Tighter fundamentals have lifted both crude futures benchmarks about 13 percent above levels in early December, helped by production curbs by OPEC and Russia, as well as by healthy demand growth.
Brent crude futures LCOc1 were at $69.23 a barrel at 0808 GMT, up 8 cents from their last close, but down from a high of $69.37 earlier in the day. Brent on Monday rose to $70.37 a barrel, its highest since December 2014, the start of a three-year oil price slump.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures CLc1 were at $63.84 a barrel, down from a high of $63.89 earlier, but up 11 cents from their last settlement. WTI hit $64.89 on Tuesday, also the highest since December 2014.
Norbert Ruecker, head of commodity research at Swiss bank Julius Baer, said a price "correction should occur... (as) hedge fund expectations for further rising prices have reached excessive levels."
He said this was especially the case as political risk factors that have helped boost Brent, including tensions in Qatar, and the Kurdish region of Iraq and in Iran have so far not caused significant supply disruptions.
Money managers have raised the bullish positions in WTI and Brent crude futures and options to a record, according to data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Intercontinental Exchange.
BMI Research said "seasonally high refining run rates" from the northern hemisphere winter season "are set to fall substantially" as the end of winter approaches.
Brent spot crude futures contracts have already moved out of winter, now trading for March delivery.
"This will act as a substantial drag on global crude demand in Q1 and feeds into our bearish short-term outlook on Brent," BMI said.
Still, traders and analysts said overall oil markets were well supported, and steep price falls unlikely.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and Russia have been withholding production since January last year and the cuts are set to last through 2018.
This restraint has coincided with healthy oil demand.
"Oil remains underpinned by the solid economy with strong oil demand tightening global oil inventories. The past years' surplus supplies are slowly disappearing," Ruecker said.
One factor that in 2017 prevented crude prices from rising further was a surge in U.S. production.
Despite a recent drop due to extreme cold, U.S. crude output is expected to soon break through 10 million barrels per day (bpd), challenging top producers Russia and Saudi Arabia.
