This is concerning despite being insulated from the effects by a stimulus package in the US with relatively no spending cuts. The main hurt is being generated in 3rd world countries that don't benefit from China outsourcing and losing manufacturing jobs to SE Asia. #TradeWars are never good and would look worse except for Europe's link up with Asian suppliers, a gradual rise in #oil prices, and the fact the US is still buying heavily from China despite the #TradeWar#tariffs.
#Oil prices are rising despite the dollar firming up. If the dollar falls there will be real inflationary pressure which might justify some of the actions to try to get Saudi Arabia to ship more oil. Trying to get them to ship more oil and tapping our reserves already is foolish because we have no way to alleviate the pain if something really goes wrong.
Don't expect big pickups as #oil prices rise and #tradewar uncertainty saps the market. One is easily fixable and the other looks to say for the long haul. Oil prices are not going down anytime soon. Even Saudi Arabia can't reverse the trend which is being driven by rising Asian demand.
I am worried about investing in E/P companies at the moment because most are not really benefitting from higher oil. Most producers hedged production to around the $55 level, and logistics issues make it difficult for them to get their #oil to market and get a good price.
I was fortunate enough to be long #oil since the summer of 2017, but now I believe the market has topped out. The double top at $66 level seems to be strong resistance and on the fundamental sign I see little to push oil above it, OPEC cuts are being undermined by shale and current market sentiment seems to point to lower oil prices down the road.
I remain stead fast believer that U.S energy stocks will make a comeback with #oil prices but many are over leveraged and thats certainly not what investors want right now. I like the idea of using covered calls on $XOM I am trying to learn how to use options more effectively.
In my opinion, all these factors indicate that #oil will continue to drop. With Libya and Iran and the US all ramping up production, it's only a matter of time before the #OPEC members start turning on themselves again.
I have been skeptical on #oil rally recently believing that recent geopolitical tension will be short lived, that Russian producers will stop complying with the cuts and that U.S producers will increase production. However, the trend remains bullish and who am I to argue with the trend.
Don't #OPEC agreements usually endup falling apart when member countries start to cheat? How long do you think the #oil production cuts will last? $OIL
#Oil has been looking considerably weaker over the last few weeks, however I have been burned before by going short to early. Do you think this sell-off is the beginning of a larger move back to the $50 range or is oil merely stabilizing around current levels?
