Oil Prices And Consumption
“Davidson” submits: As you are well aware $WTI priced over $72BBL in early morning. I have been suggesting higher prices due to underlying economics, but any pricing is really market psychology and not predictable. While I think it likely we will see $80BBL as economic fundamentals will surprise investors and cause market psychology to continue its shift towards optimism, Setting a […]

Amid rising tensions between the two powerhouses, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo believes the U.S. will eventually win the US-China trade war. geralt / Pixabay Fresh round of tariffs On Monday, the Trump administration announced new […]
Oil’s Rise And Its Impact On Other Sectors
With the oil price continuing to rise it is important to understand why this is happening in a typically slow period. Chris Temple joins me to breakdown the factors (or I should say countries) driving price. Also importantly a rising oil price can hamper other markets and sectors by adding an almost tax in terms […]

However, there was a bearish evening star in the Dow Jones Industrial Average which may suggest the start of a topping process but while there was some damage to technicals it wasn’t […]

The October natural gas contract appeared to break out higher today, overcoming resistance from $2.98-$3. The October contract led the way higher today as well, as it continues to see strength from strong Henry Hub cash prices ahead of its Wednesday expiry.

Eurozone Economy’s Expansion Ongoing And Broad-Based, Downside Risks Worrying
The European Central Bank (ECB) left its monetary policy stance unchanged at its September 13 meeting. Net asset purchases will end in December, but with the Bank’s maintaining its stock of assets, the reinvestment of redemptions will maintain substantial stimulus. No increase in policy interest rates is signaled until at least after the end of […]
E JNJ Trade Idea
