  • Further, on the demand side the speed of recovery in China is still unclear and there is uncertainty over global demand with expectations that the US Fed may be getting closer to ending its rate hike cycle.
  • WTI is +2.1% at $81.45, approaching resistance at $81.81 (Apr 4 high) after which sits key resitance at $83.04 (Jan 23 high).
  • With reasonably wide ranges to the session of $79.37-$81.59, the most active strikes in the CLK3 currently edge out with $75/bbl puts, closely followed by $80/bbl calls.
  • Brent is +1.7% at $85.58, off resistance at $86.44 (Apr 3 high) after which sits $87.87 (Jan 27 high).
