Oil Ebbs From Multi-Year Highs on Surge in US Drilling | Today Commodity Market News Outlook 14 May 2018.

Commodity Market News

Oil prices on Monday fell away from last week's multi-year highs as a relentless rise in U.S. drilling activity pointed to increased output, while resistance emerged in Europe and Asia to U.S. sanctions against major crude exporter Iran.

Still, crude prices remained near more than three-year-highs reached last week as markets expect Iran's oil exports to fall significantly once U.S. sanctions bite later this year.

Brent crude futures were at $76.79 per barrel at 0229 GMT, down 33 cents, or 0.4 percent from their last close.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at $70.51 a barrel, down 19 cents, or 0.3 percent.

Brent and WTI last week reached their highest since November 2014 at $78 and $71.89 per barrel respectively.

"Around a million barrels of oil a day is likely to disappear from global oil markets if the U.S. sanctions on Iran bite," said Greg McKenna, chief market strategist at futures brokerage AxiTrader.

"But it is still far from certain that they will bite in the way intended... Germany has said it will protect its companies from U.S. sanctions, Iran has said French oil giant Total has yet to pull out of its fields and all the while it seems the Chinese are ready to fill the void created by the U.S

Oil Dips From Recent Highs on Hopes of Alternatives to Iran Supply | Today Commodity Market News Outlook 11 May 2018.

Oil prices on Friday dipped away from multi-year highs reached the previous session on hopes that alternative supplies could replace a looming drop in Iranian exports when US sanctions against Tehran are re-imposed.

The United States plans to re-introduce sanctions against Iran, which produces around 4 percent of global oil supplies, after abandoning an agreement reached in late 2015 that limited Tehran's nuclear ambitions in exchange for removing US-Europe sanctions.

The sanctions come amid an oil market that has been tightening due to strong demand, especially in Asia, and as top exporter Saudi Arabia and No.1 producer Russia have led efforts since 2017 to withhold oil supplies to prop up prices.

Oil Hits 3-1/2-year High After US Quits Iran Deal | Today Commodity Market News Outlook 10 May 2018.

Oil prices rose more than 3 percent on Wednesday, hitting 3-1/2-year highs, after U.S. President Trump abandoned a nuclear deal with Iran and announced the "highest level" of sanctions against the OPEC member.

Ignoring pleas by allies, Trump on Tuesday pulled out of an international agreement with Iran that was agreed in late 2015, raising the risk of conflict in the Middle East and casting uncertainty over global oil supplies at a time when the crude market is already tight.

Brent crude oil touched its highest since November 2014 at $77.20 a barrel. The benchmark contract was up $2.00 a barrel, or more than 2.6 percent, at $76.85 by 0930 GMT.


U.S. light crude was up $1.90 a barrel, or almost 2.8 percent, at $70.96, near highs also last seen in late 2014.

Gold prices edged up in today’s session after falling almost 1% in the previous session on the back of firmer U.S Dollar. Asian shares traded steady whereas the greenback was steady near a fourmonth high supported by the opinions of stronger U.S economy and rising yields amid signs of slowdown elsewhere, especially in Europe.

After being under pressure over the last couple of sessions, metals are witnessing some cool off. Aluminium and zinc prices slipped after US delayed aluminium and steel tariffs for some countries and announced permanent exemptions for others, raising the prospect of better metal supply. 

Crude oil prices are trading firm after falling yesterday after data from API which showed large build of 3.427 million barrels of U.S. crude oil inventories for the week ending April 27, compared to expectations of smaller build in crude oil inventories of 739,000 barrels.
