Natural gas and steel prices are closely intertwined. Sky-high energy costs fueled by Europe’s push to reduce its dependence on Russian gas are beginning to weigh on the steel industry.

After easing up on Iranian oil somewhat in favor of heavily discounted Russian crude, China is now set to receive nearly two million barrels of Iranian oil, Reuters reports, citing Vortexa Analytics tanker tracking data. The cargo, set to unload in south China later this week for pumping into the government’s reserves, is the third large cargo to come from Iran...
Last week's news headline, "OPEC sticks to production plan as high oil prices boost economy". We could almost say oil is a necessity in our daily lives. For transport, for heating in cold countries. Although we face high inflation, and a possible recession, would we expect oil to hit a point of demand destruction? At this point, I doubt so. So there is a real...
The West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil market has rallied a bit on Wednesday to break above the top of the candlestick from Tuesday. If you remember, the Tuesday candlestick was what I referred to as a potential “binary trade”, meaning that if we can break above it, the market could go higher.

Buyers in the West are shunning Russian oil, sparking fears of a potential supply shortage. Some experts are warning that pulling Russian oil off the market could result in a global economic downturn. "Every recession in the past 50 years has been preceded by an oil price spike, and it is déjà vu all over again.” The more Russian oil supply comes off the market...
Oil prices will remain higher than $100 per barrel in the coming months, reflecting the geopolitical risk from Russia’s war in Ukraine and the tight energy markets with the current and potential future sanctions against Russia, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Wednesday. Brent Crude prices are expected to average $105.22 per barrel this year,...
Bulls would be taking profit today from last week's BUY order. Drawing a fib on the daily chart, we are seeing a definite area for price to reverse, however, we are still in a Bullish trend on Oil.

Since August Brent has been in a downward trend, inside a channel. Both RSI and the channel itself show strong signs of reversal. This trade is quite a risky one since we will be trading against the trend. After the resistance has been hit, be wary of a strong reversal in continuation of the downward trend. A stop-loss around $36 will minimize losses in case of...
