BRENT GALLOP
The monthly Brent chart shows a break above the downtrend from the 2008 record high, potentially signaling a move to the October 2018 high at $86.75 bbl.
Investors on the oil are looking for a short term pullbacks as the rally has been intense,on the Crude Oil,support test at 70.70$/bbl last week brought about with supply constraints,also the lack of drivers towards the BP flow has been a significant push.
Currently we await on the OPEC Data to bring up further sentiments on the pricing.
OPEC Basket stands at 77.73(+1.99%) as I write.
BRENT Crude above the 80$ price at 80.39(+1.08%) on the day.
A show of strength has been significant.
If colder winter is experienced,the rally may presume but if we get a slightly warmer winter,the rally may unwind in forms of slight cascading pullbacks.
Natural Gas has rallied more than +10% from the Globex Open,mostly signalled by the Options expiry(October) however on the YTD,we are up +189.86%.
All the developments are tied up to the global trade & shipping pricing,demand is running further than supply therefore depleting inventories.
Chronic underinvestment on the Green Energy sectors such as Coal might help to address some of the underlying issues.
Nice trading week,
