Yesterday brought oil prices back above $52, but given the recent $50-$53 holding pattern for WTI, markets aren’t expecting any breakouts this go-round.

This week was largely uneventful for prices – while more details were provided on OPEC’s 2019 supply cuts, “new news” was lacking. Oil remained locked in the $51-52 range, while fuel prices hovered within 5-cent ranges.

This […]

Crude is currently trading at $51.46, down $1.15 from Friday’s close. Fuel prices are taking a smaller hit this morning, though still remain negative. Diesel prices are […]
While markets at times go long-stretches without any fundamental changes in the market, this week has been non-stop. The week began with several major announcements capturing the attention of traders: The US and China agreed to more intensive trade negotiations to resolve the trade war. Saudi Arabia and Russia agreed, in principle, to the need […]
