WTI Crude Oil - Some infosHi Guys, allegations of Human Rights violations are, IMHO, playing an important strategic role for the dynamics of supply and demand and the management of oil price control. Saudi Arabia was placed under unprecedented scrutiny, and economic and political pressure from the international community because of this. A lot of European Countries have stopped the sale of arms to Saudi Arabia over the incident. Canada is still considering freezing its arms deal. U.S. lawmakers too are considering to take action against the crown prince for his role in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Senator Lindsey Graham said in an interview on Jan 19 to Bloomberg :“Congress will send a very clear signal to the world and Saudi Arabia that we would not be doing business as usual. There’s strong bipartisan support not only to condemn the actions of Saudi, MBS, but actually do something about it.” The heir to Saudi Arabia’s monarchy has so far largely dodged any reprisals against himself, with President Donald Trump opting in November to impose sanctions against 17 lower-level Saudis implicated in the murder following global outrage. Critics in Congress have said that was only an initial step, with a bipartisan group proposing stronger penalties including suspending the sale of arms to the Riyadh government in a challenge to the Trump administration. The recovery period following the low in 2016 was stopped on Oct.2nd, 2018 by the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi. Such event triggered a bearish impulse that helped breakout the distrubutive channel (pink). The fall was supported at $42,30 where it found support 4 times in the past (1234 in red). From $42,30 price re-tested the lower trendline of the upper channel (pink) right when Saudia Arabia executed 37 people on terrorism charges.

Oil: The cone! At what price? Some infoHi Guys, according to IMF Saudi Arabia would need oil at $80-$85 a barrel to balance budget. According to some other economists 2019 budget implies Brent at $70-71 per barrel with oil production at 10.2 million barrels per day. According to Ellen R.Wald Saudi Arabia does not base its oil policy on the budgetary break-even price per barrel of oil. IMHO forthcoming ARAMCO IPO will play an important role in this respect. Saudi Arabia’s implicit backing for a bond deal crucial to helping finance his ambitions. In any case, from a structural point of view, price IMHO may be set to remain in "THE CONE" travelling towards apex with a bullish bias supported by shortage supply, political turmoils and disruptions. For easy reference please note the black bold numbers (1,2,3) are intended to provide the wider narrative. The comments below refer to the period of consolidation following the low at $25 in 2016. This "bull run" was stopped on Oct.2nd, 2018 by the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi. Outcome of UN investigations in respect of Human Rights violations alleggedly perpetrated by OPEC major producer may have deep impact on oil price as King under widespread criticism. U.S. production is another important factor. If WTI holds on to its recent gains and new pipelines come online as scheduled, U.S. supply could also help replace the light-crude oil and compensate exports lost from Iran. Russia is also looking to increase its production this summer. When OPEC and its non-OPEC partners meet in Vienna at the end of June, it is possible that the production agreement could fall to shambles. In that case, many producers will feel pressure to put as many barrels as they can on the market—a move that will drive prices down. On the other hand, OPEC, with Russia’s assistance, might agree to maintain quotas with only a modest increase in production, and that would keep prices from soaring too high or going too low.

WTI Crude Oil - Pressure on Saudi ArabiaHi Guys, allegations of Human Rights violations are, IMHO, playing an important strategic role for the dynamics of supply and demand and the management of oil price control. Ellen R Wald wrote the following article published by Investing.com which I found interesting. www.investing.com At the end of the article Ellen asks the following question: QUOTE "What are the short-term and long-term outlooks? There is a variety of scenarios for the oil market. As Iranian oil exports drop, prices will rise. The question, of course, is: how much? This depends on the amount of pressure the United States puts on Saudi Arabia to produce and how much Saudi Arabia resists that pressure". UNQUOTE To conclude, IMHO, PRESSURE = allegged Human Rights Violations Thank you for your support and for sharing your ideas.

Crak'n Up - Refiners Are Not At A Level Worth Buying Yet"Refinery stocks are not ripe just yet, especially with crack spreads as weak as they are. We're already seeing three of the top four holdings in CRAK begin to roll over, including Marathon, Velaro, and Holly Frontier. Phillips 66 is the outlier. We continue to wait for CRAK to reach to range bottom with a confluence of crack spreads. If refiners continue to breakdown, we'll revisit prior to the summer gas demand season."

Subdued Volatility Boosts Crude, But Will It Last? #oil #oott Oil has also seen a dramatic decline in volatility with the OVX down 35 percent over the last month versus an eight percent decline in the VIX. But, prices are beginning to stagnate across cyclical drivers as the macro data out of China and Europe continue to decelerate. In October: "There is currently a 19.8% premium versus the 20-year seasonality , and there's over a 24 percent gap from where crude currently stands and the 5- and 10-year seasonality , respectively. Looking at the futures market, large speculators positioning (on a 5-year percentile) has been sloping lower as price diverges. However, now growth is expected to slow along with inflation which is a bad mix. I have been pointing out since early summer, my DRIP-model (disinflation/reflation/inflation proxy in pink) has been pointing to lower-lows in U.S. inflation . In turn, consumer prices fell from a five-year high of 2.9% to 2.3% Given how market conditions are building, and the recent action in crude, the U.S. could be facing inflation under 2% and that has serious implications when concerning Fed policy." The 20-year seasonality for WTI is negative from September to January with October and November being to steepest at -1 and -1.2 percent, respectively. January's seasonality performance is -.7 percent with current prices trading at a 13.1 percent premium to the 5-year average. Furthermore, today's EIA inventories report saw a massive build of 7.97 m/bl build v. 42,000 drawdown expectation and 2.68 m/bl draw in the following week. This was the largest build since November 15.
