Oil Prices Up To $100! Is The Fault of Renewable Energy Transition?

This week, Goldman Sachs raised its oil $WTI Crude Oil - main 2311(CLmain)$ price target to $100 once again, based on OPEC production cuts compounded by rising demand offsetting a sharp increase in U.S. supply.Meanwhile, while gasoline prices have risen in the U.S., sales of electric vehicles have fallen rather than risen. In Europe, the de-industrialization of Germany is no longer in the news, as the country's auto industry prepares for China's electric vehicle boom; What’s more, Brussels is working to build an energy transition supply chain from scratch.Offshore wind developments are being canceled one by one both in Europe and the U.S., and European solar developers are complaining that cheap Chinese solar panels are making it difficult for

Silver, Copper and Natural gas will get a boost in 2024

Since the Fed announced that it would lower interest rates in 2024, the dollar has started to fall significantly. That's because when interest rates go down, the incentive to save money also goes down. So, the market is expecting the dollar to weaken further next year, which is great news for commodities.Plus, China recently decided to increase its bond purchases by $137 billion, which will help boost the domestic economy. China is the world's largest consumer of commodities, and the electric vehicle revolution and energy transition are also good for certain commodities. In particular, these three commodities are expected to get a boost in 2024.1.Copper $Copper - main 2403(HGmain)$ Copper is widely used in many industries, including transporta

The S&P 500 Rocketed On Bets Of Peak US Interest Rates, Strong Earnings,Whatβ€˜s The Next’

After the CPI data of October was released in the United States, the the US Dollar Index fell sharply, and the three major stock indexes in the United States rose sharply. The market generally predicted that the Federal Reserve might start the process of cutting interest rates by the end of next year at the latest. According to historical performance, the Federal Reserve will have a negative impact on the global capital market during the rate hike, especially the US stock market, and will play a certain role in promoting the recovery of the capital market during the Fed's interest rate cut.In this way, it is easy to understand the strong short-term performance of US stocks, but from the perspective of the past year, the performance of the S&P 500 index is not satisfactory.Figure 1: Tre

The Performance of Gold: Inflation, Stagflation, and Recession

From March 8 through April 24, gold rallied over 9%, outpacing the S&P 500 which was up just over 3% in the same period.

For almost a year the U.S. treasury yield curve has been inverted leading many analysts to believe that the U.S. economy is headed toward a recession.These and other factors have drawn increased attention to the gold market, where options on gold futures have reached record trading volume in 2023.
