Abstract:WTI crude oil has seen its second consecutive week of gains, while oil prices may get a tailwind from the continuous upbeat news of vaccine and the situation in the Middle East.
WikiFX News (17 Aug)- WTI crude oil has seen its second consecutive week of gains, while oil prices may get a tailwind from the continuous upbeat news of vaccine and the situation in the Middle East.
According to the three reports on crude oil released last week, the outlook of market demand has improved largely compared to early days of the outbreaks. Among them, the Short-Term Energy Outlook of the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) even raised estimates on global demand of crude oil for 2020 by 40,000 b/d.
All eyes turn to OPEC+ Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) meeting this Wednesday (August 19). OPEC+ is expected to keep the overall production unchanged but fuel oil prices if member countries' compliance with the agreed reduction is proposed again.
Meanwhile, the speculative net long position held in Brent crude oil rose 17,104 to 205,108 lots, according to the data of Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).
Furthermore, as the balanced situation in the Middle East is possible to be upset by the establishment of diplomatic relation between Israel and the UAE, oil prices may soar amid worries about supply once the relation between the U.S. and Iraq deteriorates even further.

Crude Oil (WTI) - Rebound in the offing?
A stronger than expected payroll report last Friday pushed equity markets to another all-time high. The U.S. economy added 850,000 new jobs during June when the consensus expected 700,000. Whilst the headline number looks good, there’s plenty to be worried about under the hood, as the new jobs are mostly in those sectors of the economy that have reopened. For instance, the leisure and hospitality sectors added 343,000 new jobs, education around 269,000, and the retail sector 67,000. These add up to around 80% of the total; this is great at first glance but not in the long run since these sectors do not drive the productivity or wage growth required for sustainable expansion. In particular, the U.S. economy is 70% consumer driven, which emphasizes the importance of a healthy and wealthy labor market. With the country still 7 million jobs short of pre-pandemic levels and most of the recovery happening in low-paying and low-productivity sectors, there is still a long way to go before the

With about two days left until the all-important ministerial meeting of OPEC+, few things are more crucial than figuring out where oil will be trading before the world alliance of oil producers lays down its policy decisions for December. Dozens of ideas abound on crude prices over the next 48 hours, with as many theories on why they should be so
Asian stocks made a soft start to the week on Monday while oil and the euro were under pressure, as the return of COVID-19 restrictions in Europe and talk about hastened tapering from the U.S. Federal Reserve put investors on guard.
