Oil Price Inches Higher after API Report, US Inventories in Sight
spw0pf.jpg


Oil prices, on both sides of the Atlantic surged during weekly trading sessions. On Monday oil clocked a 51.49 low, but managed to get fresh traction exceeding 53 level, after after the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) weekly report showed a larger than expected draw of 4.15 million barrels to the United States’ commercial crude inventories, instead of an expected 2.5 million-barrel draw.

On Tuesday, president Obama moved to indefinitely block drilling in vast swaths of U.S. waters. Obama had been expected to take the action by invoking a provision in a 1953 law that governs offshore leases. The law allows a president to withdraw any currently un-leased lands in the Outer Continental Shelf from future lease sales. There is no provision in the law that allows the executive's successor to repeal the decision, so President-elect Donald Trump would not be able to easily brush aside the action. Trump has vowed to open more federal land to oil and natural gas production in a bid to boost U.S. output. Obama on Tuesday said he would designate "the bulk of our Arctic water and certain areas in the Atlantic Ocean as indefinitely off limits to future oil and gas leasing, though the prospects for drilling in the affected areas in the near future were already questionable. This could create an issue for US oil drilling and supply inventories.

Oil prices clocked a 53.75 on Tuesday, closing to last week highs 54.49 as OPEC put final touches on the so long anticipated deal or no deal that markets were awaiting. With absence of fundamentals that could spark additional factors for driving prices, support and resistance could be the elemental factor today. Also US crude inventories scheduled for a release today at 3:30 PM GMT will give a better outlook on how traders will react to the news.

Key levels to watch : Weekly Pp 52.12

Trend : Bullish Sideways

Resistance levels : R1 53.87, R2 54.72, R3 55.92

Support levels : S1 53.11, S2 52.28, S3 51.45

Remark : look forward for US crude inventories today which will drive the market. A break above R2 level is an alarm for R3 to get ready. S3 is a hard level, any below penetration will cause further selloffs and additional downtrend.
