The crude oil market continues to see a lot of noisy back and forth behavior, as the global markets are trying to price in war, geopolitics, slowing economies, and inflation at the same time. However, this is a time of year that typically is positive.
The crude oil market has gone back and forth on Friday, as we continue to look very choppy. And I think at this point we have a market that is trying to do everything they can to show signs of strength and short-term pullbacks Opens up the possibility of finding a bit of value in a market that quite frankly doesn’t really Lend itself to be negative this time of year Although there are a lot of concerns about the Global economy and that of course can have a major influence on demand.
Either way, I believe the $80 level above is the target and I do like the idea of buying short-term pullbacks. I believe that sooner or later, you will have a massive amount of buying pressure willing to step in on value propositions.
Brent certainly looks very much the same as the $81.50 level in Brent has been important. We are pulling back slightly, and I do think that given enough time, we will find plenty of value hunters underneath willing to step in and take advantage of cheap oil.
$84.50 is my target, but that doesn’t mean we get there overnight. So please do keep that in mind. With that being the case, I’m a buyer of dips, looking at it as value. And if we could break above the $84.50 level, I would be extraordinarily aggressive and bullish. At this point, I would be a buyer hand over fist, at least for the short-term.
