OIL OPTIONS
The near-term crude option put skew is the most bearish this month as economic demand concerns weigh on the oil market despite potential support in the second half of this year from China stimulus measures and OPEC production cuts. The risk of further central bank tightening due to persistent inflation is adding downside pressure to futures.

- The Brent Dec23 skew is however gradually edging higher up to -4.3% from a low of -6% in May while WTI is more stable this week at around to -5.5% today.
