Teknisk analys på råvaror från Axier EquitiesSilver Comex (kontinuerlig termin) 100 oz

Silver gjorde i förra veckan endast en liten uppgång, efter att ha varit nere vid 38.2% stödet. Vi fick istället se att silver snabbt föll tillbaka och hittade istället stöd vi 50%, vilket är en mycket vanlig nivå.

Härifrån har vi nu sett att silver har satt fart uppåt och jag räknar nu med att vi har avklarat den första rörelsen nedåt och att vi nu har rörelse två, som är uppåtriktad, på agendan. Därefter kommer det en ny nedgång.

Uppgången bör bli i storleksordningen 50-62% av den nedgång vi har sett från toppen den 1 oktober till botten den 7 november. Det ger oss $3305-3361.5 som målområden, där vi åter kan se att silver vänder nedåt. Vi har också den relativt vanliga 38.2% nivån vid 3248.5 där vi också kan se ett slut på uppgången.

Det finns en möjlighet att silver har gjort en större botten. Men det finns data som säger att det inte är så och att vi i första hand skall räkna med att det är en uppgång i en fallande marknad.

Vi har lägre toppar och lägre bottnar det är en definition på en nedåtriktad trend. När vi ser högre toppar och högre bottnar har vi en större chans för att vi kommer att se mer uppgång och att trenden har vänt till upp.

Analys av silverpriset den 7 november 2012

COT (Commitment of Traders Report) är vid nivåer där vi historiskt sett behöver se helt andra nivåer innan det har varit riktigt bra tillfällen att vara köpare. Fortsatt finns det utrymme för index att stiga så vi kan agera på kortsiktiga köpsignaler men med små positioner.

6-9 november är en period där flera tidscykler sammanstrålar vilket kan ge oss en period där det snabbt vänder upp och sedan ner.

Den 7 november har en större tidscykel som infaller och som preliminärt borde vara en topp. Vi får ge +/- 1 dag för detta datum.

Vid uppgångar skall vi fortsatt leta efter signaler att sälja silver då trenden är ned.

Slutsats: Silver har nu gjort en botten vid en nivå där det är mycket vanligt att vi ser ett slut på en rekyl. Troligen är det bara den första rörelsen nedåt som vi har sett, vilket gör att vi troligen kommer att se en ny nedgång efter den nuvarande uppgången. Vi skall fortsatt leta efter säljsignaler då trenden är ned.

OPEC takes center stage, but China’s recovery remains key

SEB - analysbrev på råvaror

After gaining USD 2.6 per barrel from Tuesday until midday Wednesday, Brent crude prices lost momentum yesterday evening, plunging by USD 2 per barrel to the current level of USD 72.3 per barrel. This marked a significant and counterintuitive move just hours ahead of today’s OPEC+ meeting at 12:00 PM CEST, where the market largely anticipates a rollover agreement. OPEC+ is expected to maintain its current supply cuts, refraining from adding additional volumes to the market for now.

The USD 2 per barrel drop was partly driven by a single market player – a U.S. bank – that sold a massive volume of U.S. oil futures during the evening (CEST), pushing prices lower and leaving traders scrambling to interpret the rationale. According to Reuters, the unidentified bank sold over USD 270 million worth of U.S. oil futures.

The market consensus is now that OPEC+ is likely to extend its most recent round of production cuts by at least three months starting in January. This move would provide additional support to the oil market, even though OPEC+ had hoped to gradually phase out supply cuts next year. For now, there appears to be little room for additional OPEC+ volumes in a market still grappling with weak demand.

At 16:30 CEST yesterday, the oil market received a bullish U.S. inventory report. Commercial crude oil inventories (excl. the SPR) fell by a substantial 5.1 million barrels to 423.4 million barrels, about 5% below the five-year average for this time of year. This decline was a stark contrast to the API’s earlier forecast of a 1.2-million-barrel build in crude inventories.

For gasoline, inventories increased by 2.4 million barrels (API forecast: +4.6 million) but remain 4% below the five-year average. Distillate (diesel) fuel inventories rose by 3.4 million barrels (API forecast: +1 million) but are still 5% below the five-year average.

U.S. crude oil refinery inputs averaged 16.9 million barrels per day, up 615,000 barrels per day from the previous week. While refineries operated at 93.3% of their capacity. Gasoline production declined to 9.5 million barrels per day, while distillate fuel production increased to 5.3 million barrels per day.

Over the past four weeks, total products supplied – a proxy for implied demand – averaged 20.4 million barrels per day, a 4.0% increase compared to the same period last year. Key metrics include gasoline demand at 8.8 million barrels per day, up 2.8%; distillate demand at 3.7 million barrels per day, consistent with last year; and jet fuel demand up 7.1% year-over-year.

Overall, the report was bullish, reinforcing expectations of a tightening market.

Attention now shifts to OPEC+, geopolitics (including the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Middle East tensions, and Iranian sanctions), and global demand, particularly in China. Weak demand in China throughout 2024 pushed global oil prices downward, especially in the second half of the year. However, we believe the narrative is shifting(!)

China appears to be stabilizing and showing signs of recovery. Manufacturing PMI has ticked higher, and the economic surprise index has also improved. As the world’s largest oil importer, China turning the corner is a significant positive development. This strengthens our view of limited downside risks to oil prices as we head into 2025. While caution remains warranted, we continue to favor a long position on Brent crude.

Further US sanctions on Iran spark largest oil price surge in three weeks

SEB - analysbrev på råvaror

Since yesterday morning, Brent crude prices have climbed by ish USD 2 per barrel, recovering to the current level of USD 73.9 per barrel. This represents a significant price movement over a short period and marks the largest such increase since mid-November.

Market whispers suggest that OPEC+ is likely to announce a deal to further delay the planned supply increase during their meeting scheduled for tomorrow (December 5th). Concerns about weaker global demand in the coming year leave little room for additional OPEC+ supply, compelling the cartel to exercise patience in its efforts to regain market share.

Adding to the upward pressure on crude prices, the U.S. has escalated its sanctions on Iran, targeting the country’s vital oil sector – a critical source of revenue.

Yesterday (December 3rd), the U.S. imposed sanctions on 35 entities and vessels associated with Iran’s ”shadow fleet,” which secretly transports Iranian oil. These operations rely on fraudulent practices such as falsified documentation, manipulated tracking systems, and frequent changes of ship names and flags. This move builds upon earlier sanctions, including those introduced in October this year, which restricted transactions involving Iranian petroleum and petrochemical products.

According to the U.S. Department of State, the latest measures aim to further disrupt Iran’s ability to finance activities deemed destabilizing in the Middle East, including its nuclear program and support for regional proxies.

From a market perspective, Iran’s crude oil and condensate exports reached roughly 1.7 million barrels per day in May 2024, the highest level in five years. China, as Iran’s largest importer, accounted for ish 490k barrels per day of these exports in 2023. The newly imposed sanctions could lead to a substantial reduction in Iran’s oil exports, potentially cutting up to 1 million barrels per day, depending on the enforcement’s strictness and global compliance.

Iranian crude exports to China have increased this year, but the sanctions may compel Chinese firms to reduce or halt purchases to avoid U.S. penalties. This would likely drive a search for alternative crude sources to sustain China’s refining operations, thereby adding further support to the current upward pressure on crude prices. This, together with the likelihood of OPEC+ continuing to delay their planned production increase, reinforces our view of limited downside risks to prices in the near term – caution remains reasonable, and we continue to favor a cautiously long position.

Crude prices steady amid OPEC+ uncertainty and geopolitical calm

SEB - analysbrev på råvaror

Since last Friday’s opening at USD 73.1 per barrel, Brent crude prices have steadily declined over the weekend, with further losses on Monday afternoon following a brief recovery that saw prices approach USD 73 per barrel. As of this morning (Tuesday), Brent crude is inching upward again, currently trading at USD 72.2 per barrel. Over the past week, implied volatility has dropped to its lowest levels in roughly two months, as the upward momentum observed since mid-November has temporarily stalled.

On a bearish note, reduced geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East has contributed to easing the risk premium in oil prices. Israel has signaled its intention to uphold the current ceasefire despite launching airstrikes in Lebanon in response to Hezbollah’s first attack under the truce. While this de-escalation has softened prices, the attacks during the ceasefire highlight that tensions in the region are far from resolved. This persistent instability will likely remain a source of uncertainty for oil markets in the weeks ahead.

On the bullish side, the OPEC+ supply meeting, rescheduled to Thursday, December 5th, looms. Additionally, expectations are building for increased Chinese stimulus measures, potentially to be unveiled at the Chinese Central Economic Work Conference next Wednesday. This closed-door meeting is expected to outline key economic targets and stimulus plans for 2025, which could provide fresh support for Chinese oil demand.

From a supply perspective, OPEC+ has added to market uncertainty by postponing its meeting, initially planned for Sunday, December 1st. The group will decide whether to reintroduce production cuts or proceed with a scheduled supply increase of 180,000 barrels per day. Current market sentiment suggests that OPEC+ is unlikely to rush into restoring production, reflecting cautiousness amid subdued global demand and concerns about a potential supply glut in 2024.

Market participants and traders widely anticipate that the cartel will maintain its wait-and-see approach to avoid worsening the fragile market balance. Such cautiousness could lend support to prices as the new year approaches. We believe OPEC+ is acutely aware of the risks associated with oversupplying the market and will likely act to stabilize prices rather than jeopardize them.

Looking ahead, fundamentals such as U.S. inventory levels, geopolitical developments, and OPEC+ decisions will remain key drivers of the crude oil market. These factors will shape the outlook as we move into the final weeks of 2024 and entering 2025.
