Oil Prices In Weekly Slump As Gaza Ceasefire Hopes, Stronger Dollar Bite.

Oil prices fell Friday, to end the week deep in the red as growing optimism over an extended ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war cooled the supply risks premium baked into prices. Faltering growth in China and the possibility of some easing of tensions in the Middle East also reduced prices. High-interest rates, which tend to dampen economic growth and oil demand, in major economies like the United States and the eurozone appear to be here to stay in the near term. A stronger dollar makes oil, priced in the U.S. dollars, more expensive and less attractive to foreign buyers.

Daily Commodity Analysis – Oil surges, gas constraints, gold slides, copper boosted.​


Introduction​

Oil prices rose on Monday as the US plans additional strikes in the Middle East, while Ukrainian drones hit Russia’s largest refinery. The rebound follows last week’s 7% drop, driven by stronger US jobs data and progress in Israel-Hamas ceasefire talks. Concerns about the Middle East conflict persist, impacting oil markets. In the natural gas sector, withdrawals from storage fell short of demand, with expectations of a reversal due to mild weather. Gold prices slide as the dollar surges, fueled by reduced rate-cut expectations. Copper sees a slight rise amid supply concerns in Chile, the world’s top copper producer.

Oil Inches Up As US Plans More Strikes In Mideast, Ukraine Hits Russian Refinery.

Oil prices nudged higher on Monday, recovering from sharp falls last week, after Washington pledged to launch further strikes on Iran-backed groups in the Middle East and as Ukrainian drones struck southern Russia’s largest refinery. Both benchmarks ended last week down about 7%. They fell 2% on Friday after stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data suggested interest rate cuts could be further out than expected and on progress in ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas. Investors remained wary of any escalation in the Middle East conflict after the U.S. signaled further strikes on Iran-backed groups in the Middle East in response to a deadly attack on U.S. troops in Jordan.

Daily Commodity Analysis – Crude up, Silver down, Gold eyes $2,000.​


Introduction​

WTI crude oil prices hover around $72.90 amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East. The US Dollar’s slight decline supports the uptick, but concerns about global supply disruptions due to Middle East tensions and Russia’s actions in Ukraine may limit the downside. Gold steadies near $2,000 as the dollar rally pauses, with the near-term outlook influenced by worries about prolonged US interest rates. Corn futures show mixed midday movement, rebounding from earlier weakness. Meanwhile, silver (XAG/USD) hit a two-week low at $22.25, dropping over 1.40%, impacted by rising US Treasury yields and Powell’s hawkish stance on interest rates.

WTI Recovers Some Lost Ground Near $73.00 Amid Ongoing Middle East Tension.

WTI prices attract some buyers near $72.90 amid the ongoing Middle East tension. The upbeat US economic data might convince the Federal Reserve (Fed) to keep its benchmark rate higher for longer. The US launched retaliatory airstrikes on Friday against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and allied militias in Iraq and Syria. Western Texas Intermediate (WTI), the US crude oil benchmark, is trading around $72.90 on Tuesday. WTI prices edge higher on the modest decline of US dollars (USD). The downside of WTI prices might be capped by concerns that tensions in the Middle East and Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine could curb global supplies.

Gold Prices Range Bound As Rate Cut Fears Persist.

Gold prices moved little on Wednesday but saw some relief as the dollar eased from three-month highs, although waning bets on early U.S. interest rate cuts kept the outlook for the yellow metal uncertain. Bullion prices were battered by bets on higher-for-longer interest rates, especially following a slew of strong U.S. economic readings and hawkish comments from Federal Reserve officials. The dollar and U.S. Treasury yields had surged on these signals. While the dollar fell slightly from three-month highs on Wednesday, the greenback was still sitting on strong gains so far in 2024.

Gold Price Flat-Lines Amid Mixed Cues, Look To US CPI On Tuesday For Fresh Impetus.

Gold price struggles to lure buyers amid hawkish Fed expectations and the upbeat market mood. The Fed rate cut uncertainty keeps the USD bulls on the defensive and lends support to the metal. Traders await Tuesday’s US consumer inflation figures before placing directional bets. Gold price (XAU/USD) kicks off the new week on a subdued note and oscillates in a narrow trading range, just above the $2,020 level during the Asian session. The recent surge in the US Treasury bond yields, bolstered by the upbeat US macro data and hawkish rhetoric from several Federal Reserve (Fed) officials, along with a generally positive risk tone, act as a headwind for the safe-haven precious metal. The downside, however, remains cushioned in the wake of a softer US Dollar (USD), which tends to benefit the USD-denominated commodity.

Gold Price Struggles Near Two-Month Low As Hot US CPI Temper Fed Rate Cut Bets.

Gold price hits a fresh two-month low amid bets that the Fed will keep rates higher for longer. The expectations were reaffirmed by the stronger-than-expected US CPI released on Tuesday. A softer risk tone lends support to the safe-haven XAU/USD and helps limit any further losses. Gold price (XAU/USD) continues with its struggle to attract buyers and languishes below the $2,000 psychological mark, or a two-month low through the early European session on Monday. The stronger-than-expected US consumer inflation report released on Tuesday reaffirmed market expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will keep interest rates higher for longer. This, in turn, is seen undermining the non-yielding yellow metal, though a combination of factors lends some support and helps limit the downside.
