Bears & bulls in $WTI $BRENT here's a list of catalysts that flip #oil markets green & RED in the next 90 days.
.
ON the - SIDE
=
.
#FOMC rebooted recession narrative & risk, covid cases China, no #opec cuts, no #opec meeting until summer, recession narrative EU, bad economic data out of China, questions about long delays in China reopening, La Nina warmer winter, 2023 earnings & guidance as not great.
.
Narrative of slower global economic growth 2023, #spr refill 2024 maybe if ever, more #spr release, windfall oil tax narrative, @potus rhetoric against oil companies, questions about oil demand 2023, delta opex in January, market pullback in January, Venezuela deal narrative.
.
There is most always that surprise catalyst that pops up & moves & markets. Markets can't price in what they don't know. We see this all the time. So something could easily pop that spooks markets up or down.
.
I'll say this China & it's narratives move markets & I don't trust China or Xi or the CCP & their motives & agendas. So the reopening narrative for China wall street may like & trade on but in reality there may be issues there like it's fits & starts & covid cases for 8 weeks.
.
And China often throws a monkey wrench into markets.
.
The story in 2023 will move away from inflation & towards earnings guidance & growth.
.
ON the + SIDE
=
.
#SPR release done, February Russian refineries products ban, #putin chatter, the #G7 60. price cap ((( oh yeah that's in NEGATIVE category actually ))) winter season & standard #oil rally, China reopen narrative, rotation & positioning.
.
#SPR release done, #putin chatter, winter season & standard #oil rally, China reopen narrative, rotation & positioning, any mid east tension & conflict Houthi or other.
.
The #G7 Russian 60 price cap is actually a negative for oil markets and brings price DOWN that's a long discussion I've posted about that. But China & India will buy that #putin oil.
.
The 60 price cap will be averted through Russia shipping it's own oil & setting up it's own insurance outfits as well as Indian China just ignoring the issue. And oil will be sold black market grey market & remixed via shady Greek shipping outfits.
.
The real issue with the 60 price cap is that it actually will put negative pressure on oil prices & bring prices down. Why ? It's basic economics of supply & demand & PRICING PRESSURES.
.
We have net net the same amount of oil. But NOW some of that oil is being forced to be sold at a lesser price. So now buyers will buy MORE of the cheaper oil & buy LESS of the more expensive oil. And the result is LIQUIDITY is removed from $WTI & $BRENT & their price lowered.
.
Cheaper Russian oil just MOVES buyers away from $WTI and or $BRENT & their are net net less buyers of that product ie less liquidity. That's why VOLUME has been decreasing in oil market. Less buyers is less volume is a lesser price.
.
The bull case in oil we know as medium & long term lack of cap ex & production fails to meet demand & new discipline from companies & CEOS. But in the near term the case is oil markets are amply supplied if not over supplied some say. Is that true ?
.
What I'm reading says #oil markets are currently balanced & that will change in Q2. The China narrative will define oil markets as will the general macro of recession & growth.
.
You know the story. Wake up, shower, coffee, news check, watchlists RED RED RED -7.34% premarket.
.
I had discussion today about a post I wrote last January about how 2022 would have a real problem from an INVISIBLE CATALYST the monster called liquidity. I predicted pretty easily crypto & otc would be a disaster in 2022. Seemed obvious to me 1 full year ago.
.
We are in reality MONTHS away from a real SUBSTANTIVE sustainable rally in oil markets so be aware. The risk is the risk we can't know. And I have 99.9% confidence that $WTI will retest that 70 & do maybe a 67/68.
.
There will be some catalyst that pops us & hampers oil markets. And the equities are both attached & not to the commodity it just depends on the day.
.
I've been predicting moves on $WTI for a year with dam good accuracy & predicted that first move to the $93.50 & defined that as a key pivot. Have a look at my charts on $WTI & NOTE the levels I have marked out.
.
One thing you've not considered is the #spr refill could be a STRONG negative catalyst in the oil markets.
.
If the #DOE want's to refill the reserves THEY WANT A GREAT PRICE !!! They want to pay 62.50 for that oil if not less. This mean NO refill of #spr until a republican is president & oil drops to 55.00.
.
OR it means #BIDEN has #JPOW & #FederalReserve short oil down to 60.00. Give that some thought.

Tom my dog SCOOTER has a question !

He was reading that #PPI has a LEVERAGE relationship with #CPI .

Meaning an increase in #PPI causes a larger increase in #CPI due to ( multiple supply chain steps ) & each stage " tacks on " its own price increase ?

True ?
.
.
So every stage , manufacturing , shipping , distribution , warehousing , wholesale , retail ... each stage in the supply chain ... adds a new cost as each STAGE demands a profit margin.
.
The net results being a small increase in #PPI ends up as a more sizeable increase in #CPI as 7 various companies helped bring that product to markets.

7 different companies all ADDED a new cost ABOVE the manufacturing costs ?
