WTI rose on support from output shutdowns ahead of storm in US
Crude prices edged higher, touching levels of $43 on support from output shutdowns ahead of a storm in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and prospect of supply losses in Norway along with hopes for some U.S. COVID relief aid supported prices. Prices got supported after reports of Saudi Arabia considering reversing course over OPEC’s planned production increase early next year which is definitely a positive for the markets.
Optimism over additional fiscal support in U.S. resurfaced, but the back and forth between policymakers could see volatility linger for a while yet. For Norway, Oil firms and labor officials might meet with a state-appointed mediator today in an attempt both sides hope will bring an end to a
strike that threatens to cut Norway’s output by some 25%. On Hurricane front, Oil workers have withdrawn from U.S. Gulf production facilities as Hurricane Delta was forecast to intensify into a powerful, Category 3 storm. Nearly 1.5 Mbpd of daily output was halted and forecast indicates that
markets can lose almost 5MB in this storm, supporting prices. The crude oil supply events along with positive talks for Stimulus will keep prices supported for coming session.
Suggestion: BUY WTI OIL FROM 40.55-60 SL BELOW 40 TGT 42 ELSE SELL BELOW 39.50 TGT 38.70 SL ABV 40.60
