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.
