OIL
Energy BulletsHomepageBulletCommodities

Crude markets have weakened during the day amid a recovery in the USD driven by stronger than expected Q1 Core PCE prices. Weaker than expected US GDP numbers will also put pressure on oil’s demand outlook.

  • Brent JUN 24 down 0.5% at 87.57$/bbl
  • WTI JUN 24 down 0.7% at 82.25$/bbl
  • Q1 Core PCE price index: 3.7% (3.4% expected, 2.0% prior)
  • Q1 GDP: 1.6% (2.5% expected, 3.4% prior)
  • The US may leverage new Iran sanctions to pressure Chinese buyers to cut Iranian oil purchases, but measures are unlikely to have a near-term impact: Platts.
  • Crude loadings fell from 15.5% last October to 13.9% in March this year, the lowest since at least 2016 according to Vortexa.
  • Chinese buyers are receiving slight discounts on Venezuelan barrels now that sanctions have been reimposed.
  • After initially planning large crude supply cuts in May, Mexico’s Pemex may have more volumes to supply after two of its refineries were hit by fires Bloomberg sources said.
  • Baker Hughes sees a balanced global oil market, although powering up international spheres are offsetting tapering North American activity and decreasing natural gas basins, Platts said citing the company’s top executives.
  • Tengizchevroil has started operations at its Wellhead Pressure Management Project (WPMP) at the Tengiz oil field.
  • Russia has warned Kazakhstan its oil shipments to Germany could stop in June due to a payment issue according to Reuters sources.
