From CNBC:

Oil prices dip, settling at $69.80, but end the month higher as Iran sanctions loom

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/31/oil-prices-dip-on-concerns-sino-us-trade-conflict-could-escalate.html


  • Oil prices slip, but remain on track to end the week higher and post strong gains for the month.
  • Falling Venezuelan output and looming U.S. sanctions on Iran are supporting prices.
  • President Donald Trump exacerbates concerns about a slowdown in global trade by threatening to pull out of the World Trade Organization.

Crude held key short term support!!! Bull flag, breaking out to the upside?

Longer term uptrend still strong. Approaching strong resistance right now!

Crude prices historically near the end of their seasonal strength and getting close to a period

that often marks a seasonal top and price weakness in Oct/Nov/early Dec:

Weekly US ending stocks of crude oil. Peaked in March 2017 and have been falling sharply since then. Now still close to the lowest in 3.5 years. Bullish fundamentally from falling storage standpoint:

Weekly ending stocks for unleaded gasoline. Barely peaked in Feb 2017 but have not dropped much...........the most bearish of the liquid energy markets:

Weekly US ending stocks for distillate fuel oil(heating oil-especially used in the Northeast). Peaked in Feb 2017 and had PLUNGED to the lowest in 4 years and almost the lowest in 10 years.

However, distillate stocks have increased a great deal recently(the last 3 months)!
