COMMODITIES: Crude Regains Ground, Henry Hub Climbs, Gold Consolidates

COMMODITIES
  • WTI has regained ground after a Reuters report that OPEC+ is discussing output return delays for Q1 2025. It would mark the third delay by the group but represent a longer delay than the prior one-month extensions.
  • WTI Jan 25 is up by 0.3% at $68.9/bbl.
  • Meanwhile, the IDF has confirmed that it struck a Hezbollah-affiliated compound in Southern Lebanon, which appears to violate the terms of the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire agreed this week.
  • For WTI futures, support is seen at $65.74, the Oct 1 low. Initial firm resistance to watch is unchanged at $72.41, the Nov 7 high.
  • Henry Hub has edged higher on thin volume due to the US Thanksgiving holiday. It is rebounding some of the steeper losses from yesterday after a small US gas storage draw, as expected, in EIA data.
  • US Natgas Jan 25 is up 2.9% at $3.30/mmbtu.
  • Spot gold continues to consolidate after the sharp pullback on Monday, with the yellow metal 0.1% higher at $2,638/oz.
  • Resistance to watch remains at $2,721.4, Monday’s high, while key support is at $2,536.9, the Nov 14 low.
  • Silver is outperforming slightly, currently 0.5% higher at $30.2/oz.
  • Initial firm resistance to watch is $31.202, the 50-day EMA.
