Crude Oil Pulls Back After Last Week's Stellar Gains

COMMODITIES
  • Crude oil retraces some of last week’s stellar gains, falling -2% in what are seen as overbought markets after its 17% gain.
  • Earlier in the session, Exxon is said to weigh the takeover Denbury, the US’s largest carbon-dioxide pipeline network, which Bloomberg reports as being potentially the biggest carbon-management investment since the Inflation Reduction Act passed in August and its large tax incentives for burying carbon dioxide.
  • WTI is -1.9% at $90.93, pulling back from an intraday high of $93.64 that now forms initial resistance but remaining above initial support at $79.14 (Sep 30 low).
  • Most active strikes in CLX2 have been $85/bbl puts today.
  • Brent is -2.0% at $95.98, down from an overnight high of $98.75 that also forms resistance but again not troubling support.
  • Gold is -1.5% at $1669.5 on a largely one way decline today as USD strength extended. It easily cleared support at 1695.2 (former trendline resistance) to open 1659.7 (Oct 3 low).
