Oil rises as tight supply trumps recession fears

Oil rose on Monday as supply concerns driven by lower OPEC output, unrest in Libya, and sanctions against Russia outweighed fears of a demand-sapping global recession. Eurozone inflation hit yet another record high in June, strengthening the case for rapid European Central Bank rate increases, while U.S. consumer sentiment hit a record low. Brent crude rose $2.26, or 2%, to $113.89 a barrel by 12:47 p.m. ET (1648 GMT) after falling more than $1 in early trade. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose $2.20, or 2%, to $110.63, in thin volume during the U.S. Independence Day holiday.

USD/INR Price News: Indian rupee drops below 200-DMA on strong yields, oil prices

USD/INR leaps to 74.41, up 0.20% intraday during the fourth consecutive day of an upside momentum amid early Tuesday. The Indian rupee (INR) pair tracks the US Treasury yields and firmer oil prices to extend the north-run towards the monthly peak. That said, the US 10-year and 5-year Treasury yields refresh two-year highs while the 2-year bond coupon jumps to the February 2020 levels at the latest. Also portraying the risk-off mood is the S&P 500 Futures drop 0.45% by the press time. “The yield on the benchmark 6.10% bond maturing in 2031 is likely to trade in the 6.62%-6.66% band today, a trader with a private bank said. The note ended at 96.27 rupees, yielding 6.64%, the highest since Jan. 20, 2020, yesterday. The Indian rupee was at 74.24 per dollar yesterday,” said Reuters.

WTI crude oil resumes rally, targeting 83.8 next

WTI crude oil follows broad based risk-on sentiment and closed higher overnight. Rise from 62.90 resumed by breaking through 80.63 temporary top and hits as high as 81.79 so far. Current rally is expected to target 161.8% projection of 62.90 to 73.66 from 66.46 at 83.86, which is close to 85.92 high. Rise from 62.90 is seen as the second leg of the consolidation pattern from 85.92 only. Hence, we’re not expecting a firm break of 85.92 yet. Instead, another fall should be seen before the consolidation completes. Break of 77.97 support will indicate rejection by 85.92 and target 73.66 resistance turned support first.

U.S. inventories fell more than expected, with crude oil stocks down by 4.7 million barrels, though that is in part due to year-end tax considerations that encourage companies not to store crude barrels.

Oil Holds Drop With OPEC Demand Forecast Offset by Omicron Fear

(Bloomberg) -- Oil held a decline as an increase in OPEC’s demand forecast for next quarter was offset by uncertainty over the omicron virus variant. West Texas Intermediate was little changed near $71 a barrel in Asia after slipping 0.5% on Monday. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries boosted estimates for oil consumption by 1.1 million barrels a day, according to a monthly report from the group’s research department. The cartel still sees a surplus in the first quarter, albeit not as large as previously expected. “OPEC’s anticipation of a surplus in the global oil market suggests an imminent correction in prices, with WTI possibly retesting the $60 level,” Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Henik Fung said in a note. “The outlook for demand may be affected by a one-two punch of omicron’s spread across Europe and the Fed’s hawkish stance on inflation.”
