Abstract:CRUDE OIL, WTI, WHITE HOUSE, STRATEGIC RESERVES, INFLATION - TALKING POINTS:
Crude oil prices sink as White House weighs releasing more strategic reserves
This plan outlines one million barrels of oil per day to help alleviate inflation
WTI continues to trade within a Symmetrical Triangle, watch for a breakout
WTI crude oil prices sank as much as 5 percent during early Thursday Asia-Pacific trade after reports crossed the wires that the White House is weighing another plan to help alleviate rising prices at the pump. According to Bloomberg, the Biden administration is looking into releasing one million barrels of oil daily from strategic reserves for several months.
This follows strong gains in the commodity since November, which picked up pace as Russia attacked Ukraine. During this period, the price of WTI climbed from a low of USD 62.46 to a high of 129.42 in early March. Since then, fading European geopolitical escalation concerns have seen the commodity fall about 20% from the latest high.
Still, this has not been enough to bring down prices at United States gas stations materially. According to data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), the average price of regular gasoline, which is in dollars per gallon, clocked in at 4.23 for the week ending March 28th. This is up from 3.53 before the Russian attack, which represents a 19.8% increase.
Prices have fallen from the week ending March 14th, which was 4.32, but this only represents a 2% decrease. According to the report, the total amount could come up to 180 million barrels. For comparison, the Biden administration has released about 80m over the past 6 months from similar efforts. All eyes now turn to a potential announcement over the coming 24 hours.

Every trader dreams of quick success, but rushing the process often leads to mistakes. It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of winning trades or discouraged by unexpected losses. The truth is, mastering the emotional side of trading can be even more important than understanding market analysis or strategies.
In trading, distinguishing between a market correction and a market reversal is crucial for making sound decisions. Misjudging one for the other can lead to missed opportunities or significant losses. While both involve price movements, their causes, duration, and implications differ substantially. Understanding these differences can help traders improve their strategies and adapt to market conditions effectively.
