WTI Crude Falls On Dollar Strength

COMMODITIES
  • WTI is headed for the US close trading lower and having erased most of yesterday's gains. Downward pressure comes from a stronger USD driven by higher treasury yields and fears of ‘higher-for-longer’ US interest rates.
  • WTI Jul 24 is down 0.7% at $79.3/bbl.
  • Henry Hub is on track for its lowest close since May 15, with expectations of slightly cooler weather, higher production, and healthy US storage levels adding downside pressure.
  • US Natgas Jun 24 is down 5.1% at $2.46/mmbtu.
  • Meanwhile, spot gold is down by 0.9% to $2,341/oz, as the precious metal consolidates after hitting an all-time high of $2,450 last week.
  • The medium-term trend structure remains bullish and a resumption of gains would open $2452.5 next, a Fibonacci projection. The 50-day EMA, at $2305.8, represents a key support.
  • In contrast, silver has edged up by 0.1% today to $32.1/oz, within sight of last week’s 11-year high at $32.5.
  • As noted, a break of this level would open $33.887 next, a Fibonacci projection.
  • Copper is down by 1.3% at $479/lb.
  • Following recent swings in the copper price, analysts note that with physical markets still tight, further squeezes are possible.
