WTI Crude Oil   

Fundamental Analysis:   

Russian oil production will fall by 1.4 million barrels per day next year after the European Union’s ban on Russian seaborne exports takes effect, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Tuesday, 15th November 2022. 

That means the EU will need to find new sources of supply to replace the 1 million bpd of crude and 1.1 million bpd of oil products, the IEA said, adding that diesel is particularly scarce and expensive, with prices 70% higher than a year ago, which has fueled global inflation. 

Providing support for oil prices was a weaker-than-expected increase in U.S. producer prices in October, further evidence that inflation is beginning to ease and could cause the Federal Reserve to slow the pace of its aggressive rate hikes. 

U.S. stock indexes rose after the data was released, while the dollar index fell. Data from the American Petroleum Institute (API) said U.S. crude inventories fell sharply last week, but fuel stocks increased; crude stocks plunged by about 5.8 million barrels, gasoline stocks rose by about 1.7 million barrels and distillate stocks rose by about 850,000 barrels in the week ended Nov. 11. 

Technical Analysis:

(Crude Oil 1-hour Chart)
