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

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.

Oil Plunges Over Doubts of OPEC Allocated Quotas Commitment, Awaiting US Inventories

800×432

Crude oil started 2017 with a significant rally reaching 56.22 March-2015-fresh-highs following 2016 finale as OPEC reaches final decision regarding allocating shared quotas by OPEC and NON-OPEC cartel producers. Oil prices bulls were under one condition, monitoring production shares as decided without cheating, although doubts were aroused on how far the members will stick to the so anticipated OPEC-deal taking previous history of non compliance. The first domino stone that fell was the Kurds after comments by Iraqi oil minister Haider Al-Abadi delivering on late-Tuesday, citing that the Kurdish region was exporting more than its allocated share of oil as the country seeks to abide by OPEC output cut deal that kicked-in on Jan 1.

Iraqi PM noted, “The region is exporting more than its share, more than the 17 percent stated in the budget.”

Under the terms of the 2017 budget, which passed despite a boycott from a key Kurdish party, the autonomous region is allocated 250,000 bpd exports from oilfields under its control.

Other Rumors on CNBC livesquawk Russia will not start oil cuts until they see proven actions by OPEC.
Yesterday, The American Petroleum Institute (API) has reported a sizable draw on U.S. crude oil inventories, down 7.4 million barrels over the previous week—a much larger draw that expected, and the fifth draw in seven weeks.

Analysts expected a draw of around 1.7-2.2 million barrels for the week, and right ahead of the API data dump, oil prices responded upwards nearly 2 percent, in anticipation of a draw on a smaller scale.

Crude oil prices has entered a vague tunnel with too many factors affecting oil levels.

1- OPEC and Non-OPEC cut production.

2- OPEC and Non-OPEC commitment and compliance to allocated oil production Quotas.

3- US crude inventories that will be published today at 4:00 PM GMT will either support oil bulls or add further losses to price levels.

If OPEC and Non-OPEC cartels combined their efforts respecting cut production with further monitoring, then we will witness new high levels at 2017.

Trend: Sideways

Resistance level : R1 53.84, R2 55.20, R3 56.81

Support levels : S1 52.41, S2 51.74, S3 50.92

Remark : look forward for US crude inventories today scheduled for a release at 4:00 PM GMT.
