As the BRENT surges past 73$/barrel, it's expected that Brent trades at a premium with regards to the Brent-Dubai Spread Chart.
This is after a statement issued by U.S to end the Iran Oil waiver after May 2.The move is bound to squeeze supply in the market despite the 3 major energy producers(U.S,Saudi Arabia & UAE) pledges that the markets will remain adequately supplied.
The rise in Oil prices on the near term forecast is good for manufacturing industries as consumer activity remains the main driver within the surge.
Shale & Fracking activities should also be on focus as it directly affects Demand and Supply curves respectively;Shaling being considered more of a volume business in comparison to earnings business per se(correlation to #SP500).
Also to put into focus is EMPs & Big Oil as major fundamentals with good data from China indicating positive global growth overall.
