A few days ago, America announced the uncapping of strategic oil reserves, which are now at the lowest level in the last 20 years - about 570 million barrels. Regular sales of 1 million barrels per day of oil will lead to their reduction by another third.
But today oil quotes are getting more expensive again, as the sale of oil from the US strategic reserve will not compensate for the Russian oil that has fallen out if the calls of French President Emmanuel Macron are heard and EU countries impose an embargo on imports from Russia.
These new sanctions should target coal and oil, Macron said. Some European governments insist on imposing additional sanctions against Russia.
I will not claim that Europe is hearing Ukraine to provocations and has already chosen Russia in advance as the culprit. The problem is that governments do not want to admit to themselves that the rejection of Russia's hydrocarbons is a big damage to the EU. Russian gas accounts for about 40% of natural gas imports to the EU, and oil accounts for about 25%, Sky News writes.
The Germans have revised their views on "green energy" (abandoning nuclear power plants, switching to wind power). According to many economists, the ban on Russian energy supplies will lead to a reduction in German GDP by more than 5%. This decline will be the second largest since the Second World War.
The German Economic Institute stated that the imposition of an embargo on oil and gas would lead to incalculable risks.
In my opinion, the chances of introducing new sanctions are quite high, which means that oil prices will not only not fall, but may also continue to grow in the medium term. I assume the formation of a large bullish triangle on the daily chart with the stability of the growing trend, which started from the beginning of December 2021.
A breakthrough for the maximum on March 24 will be an unambiguous signal for further price growth. Although the first signal to increase will be received if the triangle resistance line is overcome, which falls in the area of $ 117-118 per barrel.
PS Does America really want to suppress the rise in gasoline prices? or is she confused about her plans?
