<h2>Summary</h2>Global asset markets have shrugged off rising geopolitical tensions, stretched valuations and worries that the world’s leading central banks were embarking on a coordinated withdrawal of monetary policy accommodation. What has helped is a macroeconomic backdrop widely-perceived as benign – a Goldilocks scenario where economic growth is neither “too hot nor too cold” and inflation pressures are moderate. Of the two, we judge the inflation element to be the most critical. Given this, we…

The EIA's latest data show that Drilled but Uncompleted (DUCs) wells in the shale sector a.k.a. the 'fracklog' continued to climb in June, hitting a fresh all-time high. Remember that DUCs are wells that have been drilled by producers, but have not yet been made ready for production. The number of DUCs necessarily has implications for the price elasticity of US shale supply. The higher the number of DUCs, the more supply that can arrive rapidly in response to any increase in prices. Think of…

Technical Analysis

CNOOC has been drifting lower while forming a descending formation that once mature is constructive for an intermediate rise. Near term weakness is outlined in the chart below as is the buy level for CNOOC. The macro bias will need more time to mature for a basing process in Q3. A tactical rise and back fill is the most probable scenario for CNOOC before a stronger rise in late 2017. This sequence is outlined below.Looking at WTI we see nice RSI support that we are working toward and a downside…

-The first consequences of Trump's trumpeting of his Alliance of the Sunnis have unfolded this week: the attempt by Saudi Arabia to blockade Qatar (which hosts the largest US military base in the region), and ISIS' attack on the Iranian parliament (and mausoleum of Ayatollah Khomeini). Although Qatar also subscribes to Wahhabi ideology, the Qataris irks the Saudis by allowing churches to be built and giving their Shias some freedom (and hence keeping communication lines open to Tehran), apart…

Trump's Alliance of the Sunnis: Anti-Iran or Anti-ISIS?

United States

Crude oil is a naturally occurring, unrefined petroleum product composed of hydrocarbon deposits and other organic materials. Crude oil can be refined to produce usable products such as gasoline, diesel and various forms of petrochemicals. It is a nonrenewable resource, also known as a fossil fuel, which means that it can't be replaced naturally at the rate we consume it and is therefore a limited resource.
