🛢️ What’s in Store for the Energy Market?
The last trading day of September brought with it a dip in crude oil prices, leaving us pondering the future amidst skyrocketing energy costs. Here’s what’s been happening and what it means for us all:
$WTI Crude Oil - main 2311(CLmain)$
This July-September quarter marked the best for WTI since early 2022, soaring by 26.5% thanks to supply constraints and geopolitical disruptions.
London’s Brent crude mirrored this dance with a 23% gain for the quarter, reaching a 10-month high. The world is watching as oil prices flirt with triple digits.
Major players like Saudi Arabia and Russia have been consciously limiting oil production, creating a supply deficit that’s pushing prices upward. The OPEC+ alliance is set to meet again to discuss their next moves.
Oil traders have piled into bullish positions, with a ratio of nearly 8:1 in favor. This overcrowding might signal a correction on the horizon, but predictions vary.
The Federal Reserve’s concern about energy-driven inflation has led to interest rate hikes. This monetary policy could impact the oil rally and the broader economy.
In a world where oil prices are so interconnected with global economics, what’s your take on this rollercoaster ride? Are we headed for higher prices, a correction, or a surprise twist? Share your insights below! 💰

There will be greater pressure. The market should lower expectations for rate cuts, not increase expectations for rate hikes.
The crude oil plate came to a key position again and tried to rebound.
