Oil Prices Gain on Slight Production Drop

Still, stored supplies of crude continue to rise, hitting record in weekly data

Hamid Baeedinejad, left, an Iranian official, speaks with the press about negotiations on Iran's nuclear program outside the Beau Rivage Palace Hotel in Lausanne on Tuesday. The U.S. said it was prepared to work past a midnight deadline if progress was being made toward clinching a preliminary nuclear deal.

NEW YORK—Oil prices climbed Wednesday after inventory data showed that U.S. oil production fell last week for the first time since January.

However, stored supplies of crude oil continued to increase. Inventories rose for a 12th straight week to 471.4 million barrels, a record in weekly data, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said Wednesday.

Light, sweet oil for May delivery recently traded up $1.44, or 3%, to $49.04 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Brent, the global benchmark, rose $1.34, or 2.4%, to $56.45 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe.

Domestic crude-oil output fell by 36,000 barrels in the week ended March 27 to 9.4 million barrels, which is still near the highest level in decades. Production last fell on a weekly basis in the week ended Jan. 30.

“Perhaps this is the first sign of a leveling off of oil production in the U.S.,” said Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates in Houston.

Oil prices have plunged more than 50% since June as surging U.S. production helped push the global market into an oversupply. Energy companies have since announced large spending cuts, and the number of rigs drilling for oil in the U.S. has dropped sharply. But analysts say those pullbacks can take months to translate to lower oil output, since new technology and efficiency gains mean that producers can pump more oil from existing wells.


The weekly EIA data is often revised in monthly reports. In its latest monthly report released this week, the EIA reported that crude-oil production fell to 9.2 million barrels a day in January, from 9.3 million barrels a day in December.

“The market may be getting the sense now that we are seeing the effect of the decline in rig count and production figures,” Mr. Lipow said. “It certainly may be the beginning of a trend.”

Investors have become concerned in recent months about growing U.S. crude-oil stockpiles, especially in Cushing, Okla., the delivery point for the benchmark Nymex contract. Cushing supplies rose by 2.6 million barrels last week to 58.9 million barrels, the highest level on record, the EIA said.

If Cushing storage levels hit maximum capacity, that could weigh on prices as sellers competed to find buyers with space left to store oil. The EIA said in September that Cushing’s working capacity is 70.8 million barrels.

Nationwide, last week’s stockpile build was roughly in line with what analysts surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had expected.

“It’s already a story everyone knows,” said Elaine Levin, president of energy brokerage Powerhouse, of growing crude-oil inventories. “I still think it keeps a cap, at least in the short term, on how high this market can rally.”

Gasoline stockpiles fell by 4.3 million barrels to 229.1 million barrels, the lowest level this year. Analysts had predicted stockpiles would fall by an average of 900,000 barrels.

Gasoline futures recently rose 2.7% to $1.8181 a gallon.

Distillate stocks, which include heating oil and diesel fuel, rose by 1.3 million barrels. Analysts had expected a 300,000-barrel weekly decrease.

Diesel futures rose 1.8% to $1.7393 a gallon.

Prices pared earlier losses after weaker-than-expected U.S. economic data weighed on the dollar. Oil is priced in dollars, so a weaker dollar makes oil more affordable to buyers using foreign currencies. Oil prices and the dollar have tracked each other closely in recent months.

Nuclear talks between Iran and six world powers missed the deadline for a preliminary agreement Tuesday. But officials remained hopeful that they could reach an agreement outlining elements of a final nuclear deal to be reached by June 30.

Oil-market participants are keeping a close watch on the negotiations because a deal could lead to the lifting of international sanctions on Iran, paving the way for more Iranian crude to flood an already oversupplied global market.

RECOMMENDED CASH AND SHARE OFFER FOR BG GRROUP PLC

Summary

The Boards of Shell and BG are pleased to announce that they have reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash and share offer to be made by Shell for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of BG.

· Under the terms of the Combination, BG Shareholders will be entitled to receive:

For each BG Share: 383 pence in cash; and

0.4454 Shell B Shares[1]

· Based on the 90 trading day volume weighted average price of 2,170.3 pence per Shell B Share on 7 April 2015 (being the last Business Day before the date of this Announcement), the terms of the Combination represent:

- a value of approximately 1,350 pence per BG Share; and

- a premium of approximately 52% to the 90 trading day volume weighted average price of 890.4 pence per BG Share on 7 April 2015.

· Based on the Closing Price of 2,208.5 pence per Shell B Share on 7 April 2015 (being the last Business Day before the date of this Announcement), the terms of the Combination represent:

- a value of approximately 1,367 pence per BG Share;

- a premium of approximately 50% to the Closing Price of 910.4 pence per BG Share on 7 April 2015; and

- a value of approximately £47.0 billion for BG's entire issued and to be issued share capital.

· The Combination will result in BG Shareholders owning approximately 19% of the Combined Group.

· Shell expects the Combination to accelerate its growth strategy in global LNG and deep water.

· The Combination will add some 25% to Shell's proved oil and gas reserves[2] and 20% to production, each on a 2014 basis, and provide Shell with enhanced positions in competitive new oil and gas projects, particularly in Australia LNG and Brazil deep water.

· The Combination has the potential to unlock further value for both sets of shareholders from the combined portfolio. An enhanced set of upstream positions will be a springboard to high-grade the Combined Group's longer term portfolio, increase asset sales and reduce capital investment, thereby enhancing the Combined Group's capacity to pay dividends and undertake share buybacks.

· Shell expects the Combination to generate pre‑tax synergies of approximately $2.5 billion per annum (which have been reported on) and has also identified further significant opportunities.

· In the near term, BG Shareholders will benefit from the dividends enjoyed by Shell Shareholders.[3] Shell today confirms its intention to pay dividends of $1.88 per ordinary share in 2015 and at least that amount in 2016.

· In the medium term, all shareholders will benefit from the potential for enhanced cash flow and a continued drive to grow returns and enhance capital efficiency from the combined portfolio.

· Shell expects to commence a share buyback programme in 2017 of at least $25 billion for the period 2017 to 2020.[4] Shell expects this programme to offset the shares issued under the Shell scrip dividend programme and to significantly reduce the equity issued in connection with the Combination.

Oil Prices Fall as Saudi-Led Military Operation in Yemen Ends

NEW YORK--Oil prices Tuesday fell as a Saudi-led coalition announced the end of its nearly monthlong military operation in Yemen, lowering concerns violence in the Middle East could affect oil production.

Though Yemen has little oil production, the military campaign had sparked fears that the violence could spread to other oil-exporting countries in the region and interrupt output there.

"I don't think anybody expected the military operation to end so quickly, " said Phil Flynn, analyst at the Price Futures Group in Chicago. In the oil market, "it definitely accelerated the selling."

Light, sweet crude for May delivery settled down $1.12, or 2%, to $55.26 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, a one-week low. The May contract expired at settlement Tuesday. The more-actively traded June contract fell $1.27, or 2.2%, to $56.61 a barrel.

Brent, the global benchmark, settled down $1.37, or 2.2%, to $62.08 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe.

Market participants are also waiting for the latest U.S. supply data, due Wednesday. U.S. crude-oil supplies are at their highest level in more than 80 years.

Analysts surveyed by The Wall Street Journal expect the report to show that oil stockpiles rose by 2.8 million barrels last week, while gasoline supplies fell by 800,000 barrels and stocks of distillates, including diesel fuel and heating oil, are expected to rise by 1.1 million barrels.

The American Petroleum Institute, an industry group, will release its own U.S. inventory data later Tuesday.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration has reported a drop in weekly production in two of the past three reports, and many market watchers are also waiting to see if the trend will continue.

"The weekly numbers on production are an estimated output of a model, rather than being observed data," and therefore are unreliable, said Citigroup in a note. "The risk to the market is now that the rally has come too soon for supply to get meaningfully curtailed," which could set prices up to drop again in the second half of the year, the bank said.

U.S. oil prices have risen close to 30% since a low in March on expectations the oversupplied market will come into balance later in the year. But analysts have warned that though U.S. oil production could stop growing or even fall in the coming months, other major producers are still pumping at a fast pace, exacerbating the global glut.

"While the shift in sentiment isn't necessarily flawed, the swing to the extreme is overdone," said analysts at London-based consultancy Energy Aspects.

Crude Oil Bounces From 4-month Lows -- Tue, 4th Aug 2015 12:59

WASHINGTON (Alliance News) - Crude oil prices nudged higher Tuesday morning, trimming steep recent losses after hitting a 4-month low.

US crude oil for September was up 70 cents at USD45.87 a barrel.

Prices have plunged this summer amid evidence of rising global supplies and speculation even more oil will come to market when sanctions are lifted against Iran.

Weaker demand from China is also seen hurting oil prices.

On the economic front, the Commerce Department is scheduled to release its factory orders report for June at 10 am ET. Economists expect factory orders to have risen by 1.7% month-over-month in June.

Saudi Arabia Cuts Oil Prices Amid OPEC Price War

Saudi Arabia on Sunday made deep reductions to the prices it charges for its oil, hard on the heels of cuts last month by rival producers in the Gulf.

With U.S. production still increasing despite lower oil prices, members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries are battling to keep their share of the last growing markets in Asia.

In a list of official prices sent to customers, state-oil company Saudi Aramco cut the price of its light-crude deliveries to Asia by $1.7 a barrel. As a result, it switched to a discount of $1.6 a barrel against the rival Dubai benchmark from a premium of 10 cents a barrel previously. The company also cut its prices for heavy oil by $2 a barrel to the Far East and by 30 cents a barrel to the U.S.

The move come as Iran, Iraq and other countries in the Middie East made deeper cuts in their official prices than Saudi Arabia last month.

Saudi Arabia has vowed to keep pumping at high levels as it hopes lower oil prices will stimulate Asian demand and hit rival production in the U.S. that is expensive to produce. But while Chinese economic growth is slowing, U.S. production rose by about 68,000 barrels a day in July, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Oil Prices Tumble as OPEC Production Grows

NEW YORK--Oil prices dropped Monday after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries reported that its output rose to a more-than-three-year high last month.

OPEC said in a monthly report released Monday that it produced 31.57 million barrels a day in September, up about 109,000 barrels a day from August and above the group's target of 30 million barrels a day. The group's output was the highest reported level since April 2012.

Prices plunged in late 2014 after a boom in U.S. oil drilling pushed the global crude market into oversupply. Since then, U.S. production has started to fall as companies have cut spending on new drilling. But OPEC and other countries have ramped up their production in an effort to maintain market share, keeping prices under pressure.

"There's plenty of cargoes" of crude oil being sold, said Ric Navy, senior vice president for energy futures at brokerage R.J. O'Brien & Associates LLC. "The bottom line is that there's still a lot of [crude] available."

Light, sweet crude for November delivery settled down $2.53, or 5.1%, at $47.10 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract posted the biggest one-day percentage decline since Sept. 1.

Brent, the global benchmark, fell $2.79, or 5.3%, to $49.86 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe.

OPEC also said it expects U.S. production to fall on an annual basis next year for the first time in eight years, increasing demand for OPEC crude to 30.8 million barrels a day.

I wonder if the oil price is specified based on the prices of oil which are traded, or trades are made based on artificial prices? If the latter, what is the formula which is used for calculating the price.

If the fall is due to oversupply, US, Saudi, and Russia are flooding the market. Other produces are either producing less or almost the same as last year. So criticizing OPEC is not really right. 4.2% down now.

HARRYCAT - 12 Jan 2016 09:54 - 135 of 379

The CEO of Man Group on Bloomberg today, has said that if the chinese economy shrinks to 3-4% growth in 2016, that equates to a 30-40% reduction in demand for oil in China. He sees reduction in demand (aided by better electric cars) as a greater threat to the oil price than over supply.

US production is at all time high, 9.2mln bpd, from 5.5mln bpd in 2012. Aren't they responsible for price crash?
Saudi and Russia are doing their best to keep the prices low to punish US producers.

It appears that some producers in the US and almost all oil-sand companies are losing money, they will have to stop producing soon.
Iran is not a big issue. They were probably selling their oil in black market, they will start selling in open market, probably a bit more...

HARRYCAT - 15 Jan 2016 16:17 - 141 of 379

I heard yesterday on Bloomberg that Iran's cost to pump oil is approx $4 pb as they can just pump without any development costs. So presumably they will be content with spot oil at $28 pb.

Yes, but Iran was doing OK with current production. They receive $160 bln of their money released. They ordered 114 Airbus immediately....

Oil to get cheaper - By Lance Roberts - Tue, 3rd May 2016 - 13:48

Last week, I wrote a fairly extensive post on why I think oil prices are nearing their peak and made a case for trimming back on oil & energy related exposure. To wit:"In a nutshell, the very easy near-term gains have likely already been seen. As I will explain below, the fundamental and technical backdrop suggests there will be plenty of opportunities for patient, long-term investors to pick up oil/energy exposure at cheaper levels in the months ahead. "With supply and demand imbalance likely to remain for years to come, it is very likely that we will once again return to a long period of volatile prices within a very confined range, as seen during the 1980s-1990s. Therefore, for those wanting to invest in oil and energy related positions, the shorter-term price dynamics are going to be substantially more important.

"If we take a look at the 'Commitment Of Traders' report, we see that exuberance over the recent surge in energy prices has pushed the number of oil contracts back to the second-highest levels on record.

graph 1

"As with the past, these surges in contracts have typically denoted short-term peaks in oil prices. This time is likely going to be no different."

A technical look at oil prices also suggests near-term profit taking in energy-related positions is likely a good idea. As shown, oil prices are not only trading at the top of a long-term downtrend channel, but are also pushing two standard deviations above the mean.

graph 2

With momentum and prices at extreme overbought conditions, a near-term reversion is very likely. I have noted each previous peak price in oil with vertical blue-dashed lines.

Of course, one of the main drivers of such a reversion would be a reversal of the recent weakness in the dollar. Like the advance in oil, the decline in the dollar has also been just as extreme.

Oil rises on Saudi offer to cut output as OPEC talks loom

* Sources tell Reuters Saudi Arabia could cut output
* Analysts cautious about upcoming oil producer meeting

LONDON, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Oil prices jumped on Friday after sources told Reuters Saudi Arabia could reduce its crude production should regional foe Iran cap its own output this year.

The Saudi offer, ahead of next week's meeting of OPEC ministers trying to staunch oil price losses, has yet to be accepted by Tehran, three sources familiar with the discussions told Reuters.

Brent crude oil and U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures turned positive immediately after the news, with the European benchmark jumping more than 1 percent.

By 1111 GMT, Brent futures were at $48.04 per barrel, up 39 cents or 0.82 percent. WTI futures were trading at $46.40 per barrel, up 8 cents or 0.17 percent.

Oil futures started the day in negative territory as investors held little hope of a breakthrough to prop up prices at talks held by members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries in Algeria next week.

But the Saudi offer revives the notion, as signalled by Riyadh and Tehran earlier in the year, that they could coordinate to support the market.

If agreed, such a deal would shift Saudi Arabia's strategy of defending its share of the global market, despite falling prices, at the expense of other producing countries, especially those where oil production is more expensive.

Market observers say a deal to freeze crude output across 14 OPEC members spanning Asia, the Middle East and the Americas is still unlikely. However, some sort of cooperation among exporters should prevent production from ballooning further.

ANZ bank said "discussions between Saudi Arabia and Iran this week suggest they are keen to get something done ... which raises the possibility of a sharp reaction to the upside in prices if an agreement is reached".

OPEC members will meet on the sidelines of the International Energy Forum, which groups producers and consumers, from Sept. 26-28. Non-OPEC producer Russia is also attending the forum.

Iraq to Offer New Proposals to Implement OPEC Oil Output Cut - Nov. 20, 2016 5:45 p.m. ET

Proposals to be discussed at Vienna technical meeting Monday and Tuesday

LONDON—Iraq will offer three new proposals at a meeting in Vienna this coming week to discuss implementing an OPEC accord to cut output, Iraq’s Oil Minister Jabbar al-Luaibi said late Sunday, in the latest sign the country is inching closer to resolving its differences with the cartel.

The options will be consistent with OPEC policy and are designed to bolster the unity of the group, said Mr. Luaibi, who has until very recently been at loggerheads with the group over Iraq’s contribution to the reduction. He declined to give details over the proposals.

“Our alternatives are based on other variables and will make it easier for OPEC members to make a decision,” he told The Wall Street Journal.

“All of the options will be logical and in line with OPEC policy,” he added.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries agreed in September to reduce output to help draw down a global supply glut that is weighing on oil prices, but left the details of the plan to be worked out later. The group is holding a so-called “technical meeting” at their Vienna headquarters Monday and Tuesday to discuss the mechanism for implementing the September agreement. The technical meeting will prepare for OPEC’s ministerial meeting Nov. 30 in Vienna.

Iraq has been ramping up its oil production for more than two years. Mr. Luaibi has said Iraq should be exempted from cutting production because it needs the revenues to prosecute a costly war against Islamic State. But Friday, Mr. Luaibi said he is optimistic that OPEC will reach an agreement at the Nov. 30 meeting. His comments were followed by similarly positive comments from Iran, which had also been reluctant to rein in its output.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/opec-deal-to-curb-production-in-doubt-oil-prices-rebound-1480481281

Crude futures surged Wednesday on growing optimism that OPEC would agree on a deal to cut oil production later in the day.

But prices remained volatile, and many analysts continue to doubt that if a deal were struck it would be properly enforced or would even be enough to address a supply imbalance that has pressured this market for over two years.

The February contract in Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, was up 7.44% to $50.82 a barrel on London’s ICE Futures exchange, according to FactSet. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, West Texas Intermediate futures were trading up 7.25% at $48.51 a barrel, FactSet said.

Prices jumped after Iran’s oil minister, Bijan Zanganeh, said ahead of crunch talks in Vienna that he believed the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries would reach a deal, though he said an immediate freeze of his country’s output wasn’t on the agenda.

Talk of OPEC reaching a deal has dominated the oil market for much of the year, as geopolitical maneuvering by key producing nations stopped the cartel from tackling the global oversupply. A proposal would likely have the group cut production by more than a million barrels a day, which represents about 1% of the global oil supply.

That could send the oil price to as much as $55 a barrel, though the lack of a deal would see crude crash back down to around $40 again, some analysts said.

“The communication this morning is extremely positive from Iran,” said Bjarne Schieldrop, a commodities analyst from Sweden’s SEB bank, adding that the market was volatile ahead of the meeting’s outcome.

Iran’s willingness to participate in some way—a long-held Saudi demand—signals a greater likelihood that all OPEC members will agree to a deal. ....

"Gold plunged in afternoon trading in New York yesterday, after the Federal Reserve caught traders off guard with its latest interest rates decision.

The US policymakers voted unanimously to increase base interest rates by 0.25 per cent, to a between 0.5 and 0.75 per cent - the first rates hike this year and only the second in the past decade.

It was a widely expected move, with traders putting the chances of an increase at 100 per cent immediately before the announcement, based on market bets via federal fund futures, Bloomberg reports.

But "it was the Fed's more hawkish stance regarding rate hikes next year that surprised the market," says Investing.com.

The policymakers now forecast they will vote to increase interest rates three times next year, up from the two predicted in September and a sign of confidence in the US economy.

The news brought spot gold, which had been around $1,164 an ounce, plunging to a ten-month low of $1,141 by the end of US trading. It dipped to below $1,138 an ounce this morning."

Is oil price heading back below $50? - By Alistair Strang | Wed, 11th January 2017 - 09:50

technical analysis trends targets Written: 10 January 2017 - 10:55pm

This is causing a degree of puzzle, due to the price hitting the $50s and essentially stopping. Our in-house rule of thumb when this sort of thing happens is to look for reasons it will instead go down, despite the presence of pretty lines on charts.

We've no doubt the downtrend from 2014 was valid but, unfortunately, when the price of Brent bettered this trend, it achieved our initial halfway target then seemed to lose interest. The price was supposed to achieve our secondary above $55 at $60.5, but has failed to show any real strength.

Therefore, the situation now is a bit interesting as, should the price of the product close a session below $53.37, we're looking at coming reversal toward $52.88 initially with secondary, if broken, around $49.15. This would represent a bonk against the red line on the chart below, the immediate uptrend.

At time of writing, Brent is trading at $53.9 and is coming close to triggering a reversal cycle. Of course, the big question is whether $49.15 (or so) would provoke a bounce, or is there a risk of the product dripping below such a point?

strang%20brent%2011%20jan%20g1(s).png -- p.php?pid=staticchart&s=NYM%5EBZ%5CJ17&t

Currently, there is ample reason to believe that below $49.15 will indeed provide a bounce, as movement below would signal the immediate uptrend has failed, propelling the product into a region where $47.4 becomes viable and, frankly, below risks a sharp dip into the 30s.

For now though, our suspicion is the price is trapped, essentially oscillating between the $53.3 and $58.5 level for a while, doubtless waiting an excuse to either weaken or strengthen.

Immediate calculations warn us not to take any rise seriously unless the price betters $56.4, as this should provoke growth to $57.5, a fairly important number 'cos if $57.5 is bettered we shall start talking about $60.5 thereafter.

For now, it's not messy, just pretty boring. Perhaps a visit to the $60.5 level will serve to break the oilers index above the blue line.

Oil prices hold ground after U.S. stockpiles soar to record - Wed, 15th Feb 2017 20:35

* U.S. crude, gasoline stockpiles at all-time high -EIA
* High OPEC compliance with supply cuts supports prices
* Weaker dollar also supports crude prices

NEW YORK, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Oil prices eased slightly on Wednesday in choppy trade as record high U.S. crude and gasoline inventories fed concerns about a global glut.

The bearish U.S. inventory data was largely offset by evidence earlier this week that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other producers were complying with agreed-upon supply cuts. A weaker dollar also helped to support greenback-denominated oil.

"There's a certain resilience in price - forward expectations that we are going to reduce supplies globally is holding the market," said Gene McGillian, manager of market research at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut.

U.S. crude stocks soared 9.5 million barrels last week, nearly three times forecasts, to reach a peak at 518.12 million barrels, U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data showed.

U.S. gasoline stocks also hit a record, rising 2.8 million barrels to 259.1 million barrels.

Prices had whipsawed after the EIA data, but at settlement, Brent futures ended down 22 cents, or 0.4 percent, at $55.75 a barrel and U.S. crude fell 9 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $53.11 a barrel.

HARRYCAT - 21 Feb 2017 11:40 - 272 of 379

Bloomberg - For the first time ever, hedge funds hold more than a billion barrels of bets that crude oil prices will rally. Money managers last week extended their faith in OPEC-led supply cuts, increasing outright long positions in the global benchmark Brent and its U.S. counterpart West Texas Intermediate to a fresh record. Speculators are on hold, though, with futures in New York stuck in the tightest range in 13 years and Brent implied volatility the lowest in more than two years, data compiled by Bloomberg show.

Crude Oil Price Forecast: Long Term 2017 to 2030 | Data and Charts" - KNOEMA 22 February 2017

Oil prices grew by 1.1 percent in September modestly rebounding from a 7 percent drop in July. Since January, when the price of Brent crude reached a 12-year low, oil prices have rebounded by 50 percent and nearly reached last year's average of $46.99 per barrel. Barring any market surprises, a further recovery of oil prices hinges on a reduction of oil production by OPEC member states in the fourth quarter.

Fluctuations in global crude oil prices have always been the focus of the economic and financial news. The higher crude oil prices rise, the more positive is the economic outlook for petroleum exporters. In contrast, countries dependent on petroleum imports suffer to varying degrees from those same higher prices as import bills increase. Estimates for the price per barrel for crude oil from leading financial and multilateral institutions are thus closely monitored by governments, investors, and consumers alike Leading international agencies made the following oil price predictions during the first half of this year

The World Bank in its July commodity forecast report estimated that the average spot price for crude oil will fall slightly further in 2016 to $43/bbl from $51/bbl in 2015. This is a revision of the Bank's earlier 2016 forecast of $41/bbl and takes into account supply disruptions in Canada and Nigeria during the second quarter as well as strong demand.
June report revealed a similar expected decline from $51.6/bbl in 2015 to $43.6/bbl in 2016, based on demand projections, supply outages and a modest rebound in the number of rotary rigs in the US.

Global crude oil price forecasts from the OECD and the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) are also provided in our visualizations below. The OECD in June published a forecast that shows 2017 oil prices flat at $50 per barrel. In contrast, according to the April estimate from the EIU, oil prices will go up in 2017, because oil consumption will outstrip production.

Oil Price Fundamental Weekly Forecast – Lower U.S. Production Key to Sustaining Rally - 19 hours ago By James Hyerczyk

U.S. West Texas Intermediate and international-benchmark Brent crude oil futures put in a stellar performance last week. Profit-taking and short-covering gave the market a firm tone early in the week after a prolonged move down in time and price drove prices into their lowest level in 10-months the previous week.
At the mid-week, prices were supported by friendly U.S. production data and at the end of the week, a drop in the rig count helped send prices higher.

For the week, August West Texas Intermediate crude oil settled at $46.04, up $3.03 or +7.04% and September Brent crude oil closed at $48.77, up $3.02 or +6.60%.
Crude Oil
Weekly September Brent Crude Oil
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, U.S. crude oil inventories edged up the week-ending June 23 while gasoline stocks decreased.

The EIA report showed crude inventories rose 118,000 compared with forecasts for a 2.6 million-barrel decrease, as imports rose 129,000 barrels per day and refinery runs fell 262,000 bpd.

The report also showed gasoline stocks fell 894,000 barrels, compared with expectations for a 583,000-barrel drop. However, current gasoline inventories of 241 million barrels remain about 7.5 percent higher than the seasonal average for stocks over the past five years.

Stocks at the Cushing, Oklahoma, futures delivery hub for U.S. crude fell 297,000 barrels, the EIA said.
Most importantly, U.S. production fell 100,000 bpd to 9.25 million bpd. And refinery utilization rates fell 1.5 percentage points to 92.5 percent of operable capacity, EIA data showed.

In other news, the U.S. Dollar fell to a multi-month low, making dollar-denominated crude oil less-expensive for foreign buyers. Money managers cut their net long U.S. crude futures and options positions in the week to June 27 to the lowest since late September, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said on Friday.
Finally, U.S. drillers cut two oil rigs in the week to June 30, the total rig count of 756 is still more than double the count the same week a year ago, Banker Hughes said on Friday.

WTI Crude Oil
Weekly August West Texas Intermediate Crude OilForecast
The ingredients were there for a rally and investors responded by taking oil prices higher. Money managers had been cleared out of their net long positions, the dollar fell, the rig count declined and most of all, U.S. production dropped 100,000 bpd to 9.25 million bpd.

Technically, the objective this week for August WTI crude is $47.14 to $48.34. Since the trend is down on the weekly chart, sellers are likely to show up on a test of this zone. The sellers could be profit-takers or new shorts.
The key to sustaining the rally will be the U.S. production number. If the EIA report shows another drop in production then look for the rally to continue beyond $48.34. If production rises, prices will fall.

Crude Oil Prices Stuck in a Triangle Consolidation - Aug 9, 2017 2:44 pm - Jeremy Wagner,

Crude oil prices have been range bound for the past year between $39 and $55. The model we are following suggests continued consolidation between these two price points over the coming months.

The Elliott Wave model we are following points towards a developing triangle formation for the past year. According to this model, prices are nearing the end of the fourth leg of the triangle (the ‘d’ leg). According to Elliott Wave theory, that would suggest another dip down the road that becomes a partial retracement of this June 2017 up trend. That final dip becomes the ‘e’ leg or the terminal wave of the triangle.

This triangle pattern is valid so long as this current rise is contained under the 2017 high of $55.21 while holding above the June 2017 low of $42.08. Therefore, we are anticipating a dip to begin from slightly higher prices. This dip could work itself back towards the mid 40’s.

This triangle pattern as labeled is a bullish triangle. Once the triangle pattern exhausts, we are anticipating a bullish breakout to above $55.21. Therefore, since the consolidation appears to be a pause of the previous uptrend, trend traders may want to follow a buy the dip strategy.

Bottom line, look for the current rise in prices to give way to a partial retracement lower that digs towards the mid 40’s. A break below $42.08 will cause the current wave labeling to be invalid and we will reconsider the wave picture at that time. If the current labeling is correct, we are anticipating an eventual break above $55.21 that begins from the mid 40’s.

Goldman Sachs today:
Our commodities team is bullish on gold for the first time in more than five years based on higher inflation, rising EM wealth and concerns about an equity correction. While our economists are more bullish than Bloomberg consensus on expected 2018 Fed hikes (four vs. three) - we believe gold could actually outperform once the tightening cycle is complete. Normally in a rising gold price environment we would recommend more leveraged names; however, with under-investment and the need to invest in replacement production, any excess cash flow is likely to go to higher capex. Because of this, we select stocks with a solid or growing production profile and low costs, where those with any excess free cash flow that can be returned to investors and grow dividends could be relative outperformers.
For the first 30-40 days of an equity sell-off, the average gold response has tended to be quite small. After this, we tend to see a stronger hedging response, and by the time the typical equity market hits its trough, gold is up over 7.5% on average. In summary, it can take time for gold to start to act like a hedge, but when it finally does, it has functioned well. In this context, our team is not particularly concerned about the recent lacklustre gold performance. Even if equity markets continue to weaken (and there are tentative signs that they might not), gold should eventually start to strengthen. One reason for this dynamic may be that gold is first and foremost a hedge against systematic risks. If a sell-off is brief, then it can be attributed to equity-market-specific factors such technical positioning, profit-taking or temporary liquidity issues. If the sell-off continues, then it is more likely to reflect (or contribute to) fundamental risks, such as the rising probability of a recession. In this case, demand for safe-haven assets tends to go up, boosting the price of gold.
We upgrade our sector view to Attractive on GS’s bullish gold outlook. We upgrade Fresnillo to Buy and add it to our Conviction List. We remain Buy (on CL) on Centamin. We also upgrade Randgold and Sibanye Stillwater to Buy (SGL onto CEEMEA FL) and remain Buy on Polymetal and Polyus."
