Comparison Notes

Crude Oil Spreads, 9 Mar 2010

Oil has once again rejected the $82 level with crude around $81.20 this morning. Any profit taking in the equity markets will most likely be matched by a further decline in crude.

The dip might just mean bulls can add to positions and finally make a run at the $84 level which has been eluding them since December last year.

Crude Oil Spreads, 8 Mar 2010

Crude is putting on the best gains today testing renewed highs just this morning around $82.30. This seems to be a follow through from Friday’s better than expected Non-farm payroll.

Now we really aren’t far off January’s highs pegged in around $83.90 and beyond there we’re into levels not seen since the back end of 2008. The danger for bulls is that demand doesn’t pick up.

There is still so much oil sloshing around above ground, more than enough to meet current demand levels, so any downward revisions to growth could lead to an explosive move to the downside.

Crude Oil Spreads, 6 Mar 2010

Price Update:
  • Brent Crude Oil / UK Oil (Apr) closed last week up $2.30 at $79.89 (up 2.96% w-o-w)
  • WTI Nymex / US Oil (Apr) closed last week up $1.84 at $81.50 (up 2.31% w-o-w)

Crude Oil Spreads, 5 Mar 2010

Crude oil prices held their own in the face of Dollar strength and continue to hover just above $80.

We’re still a little way off the highs around the $84 mark and just seem to have run out of steam this week trading pretty much flat on the week.

Oil traders will also be focusing on the NFP at lunch time today with any good number likely to give the bulls a good excuse to go and have a look at prices in the mid $80s.

Crude Oil Spreads, 4 Mar 2010

Crude oil is also back up at resistance levels with $80.50/81.00 continuing to bar progress.

Day traders have made hay over the last few weeks as the old $77.50 to $81.00 range has held court.

Now we are back near the top, $80.35, we are seeing sellers creep out of the woodwork once more. If those using spread betting accounts wish to join them it would probably be wise to set stops very close.

Crude Oil Spreads, 3 Mar 2010

Crude oil is having another go at $80 and struggling once again to break through and test the January high of just below $84.

Continued strength in equity markets might assist oil and push the market to test January’s high, but before then bulls will have $80.75 and then $81.50 to content with.

Oil inventories this afternoon will doubtless provide the usual volatility.

Crude Oil Spreads, 2 Mar 2010

Crude oil failed at the $80.50/81 level again, yawn, as the Dollar rallied. Whether there is appetite to pressure the lows is moot.

As yesterday’s comment pointed out, the $77/81 range is proving irresistible at the moment. Current price is at $78.60, mid range and uninspiring.

Traders will either play the ranges or wait for a break in either direction. To be fair at this price sitting on hands appears to be the best trading decision.

Crude Oil Spreads, 1 Mar 2010

Oil is also probing the top of the range as we try to breach 81 Dollars once more.

Nymex is trading at $80.34 in early action as traders found that the barrier of $78 and $77 proved just as unpalatable to a move lower now as it did to a move higher in early Feb.

We may now find that the trading range of $77-81 proves very attractive in the medium term as any break outs are irresistibly pulled back into the fold.

Crude Oil Spreads, 28 Feb 2010

Price Update:
  • Brent Crude Oil / UK Oil (Apr) closed last week up -$0.60 at $77.59 (up -0.77% w-o-w)
  • WTI Nymex / US Oil (Apr) closed last week at $79.66

Crude Oil Spreads, 26 Feb 2010

$80 has once again proved a step too far for the black stuff as crude posted its biggest decline in three weeks.

Crude oil will continually struggle as long as the economic data disappoints. Fewer jobs, means less income, means less driving, means less holidaying, means less use of oil.

For now the major support is seen at $76.60 and below there at $75.30. No prizes for guessing where resistance is.

Crude Oil Spreads, 25 Feb 2010

Oil is still welded to 80 Dollars but still seems to get a nose bleed when getting up to $81.

With most asset markets still reasonably solid the buyers still, just about, have the upper hand but bulls will be concerned at the ease with which each rally is beaten off.

Crude Oil Spreads, 24 Feb 2010

The clear shift in the risk trade was made apparent yesterday after the blow to consumer confidence in the US actually led to a stronger US Dollar.

Bad news is continuing to hammer the Euro and Sterling, which in turn puts pressure on the likes of oil, gold and of course equities.

A continuation of such poor data and news flow could continue to strengthen the US Dollar as its traditional safe haven status comes back into play.

Oil is also struggling to maintain momentum with each run at $80 being slapped down.

Oil inventories are out this afternoon and traders will look to see if they compliment the decline in stocks reported by the API yesterday.

Crude Oil Spreads, 23 Feb 2010

As mentioned in yesterday’s comment, virtually every market was sitting just under the resistance levels with Indices, Gold and Oil all pressing to move higher.

By the close most markets had drifted away from the top of the ranges but had definitely stayed within reasonable touching distance of making another attempt.

This morning has seen the currency markets take a break to the upside with resistance versus the Dollar giving way in early European action.

Dealers will be aware that over the past months Dollar weakness has tended to be, though not always, a trigger for higher prices. Bulls will be hoping for more of the same.

Oil seems to be contemplating life around the 80 Dollar level again. There is no current appetite to take us above $81 and similarly $79.50/79.60 looking too much of an effort for the sellers.

More solid news on Far Eastern growth would no doubt pressure the up side but for the moment we seem quite comfortable.

Dealers will be watching the aforementioned levels for evidence of a break, or for range trading opportunities, but with the price currently at $80.30 there appears little for new position takers to get their teeth into.

Crude Oil Spreads, 22 Feb 2010

Currency markets are showing a slightly weaker Dollar this morning with traders buying the Euro and Pound as we once again get into the strong everything/weak Dollar trading scenario.

Gold/Oil/Equities etc all seem to feed off any weakness in the US currency and dealers will be watching the wires for confirmation of the turnaround in the Dollar’s fortunes.

Crude oil is also at the top of the trading range and, as commented last Friday morning, a single attempt at the $80/80.50 range would have been unusual.

We are now at a cusp point, as we seem to be in so many markets today, and a break higher to the $81 level may be a good indicator that everything is moving into the green zone.

Crude Oil Spreads, 21 Feb 2010

Price Update:
  • Brent Crude Oil / UK Oil (Apr) closed last week up $5.29 at $78.19 (up 7.26% week-on-week)
  • WTI Nymex / US Oil (Mar) closed last week up $5.68 at $79.81 (up 7.66% week-on-week)

Crude Oil Spreads, 19 Feb 2010

Amidst all the flurry on the markets, Oil has also started to look rather more dramatic with the last months activity showing increased daily ranges and sharp shifts between sudden bullishness and bearishness.

Yesterday saw us close in on our old friend, the $80 level, with a high at $79.60.

The markets have traded higher than this, in fact reaching $84 briefly in the first week of 2010 when everything was roaring up, but have consistently struggled to hold above the mark.

We have seen selling above $79 last night and the price has pulled back to $78.25 this morning.

However, bears should be concerned that oil seldom just rallies and then gives up. We normally have a couple of goes at least at the top end of the ranges.

Crude Oil Spreads, 18 Feb 2010

Crude oil too is a little undecided below the near term resistance around $78.

Inventory numbers are this afternoon after the US bank holiday on Monday, so there might be some fireworks later on.

Crude Oil Spreads, 17 Feb 2010

Gold and oil are creeping higher again, assisted by the Dollar weakness, but remain tentative after yesterday’s strong run higher.

Crude oil inventories later today could also provide the usual volatility in oil prices so beware this afternoon.

Crude Oil Spreads, 16 Feb 2010

Crude oil is following the other markets but is still under the talismanic 75 Dollar level at $74.85 having peaked at $75.25 early on.

In truth it is difficult to be too bearish of the black stuff as one has to imagine that demand is straining the supply capacity.

Nevertheless, we have been saying this for months/years and we are still bashing around the 60 to 80 Dollar level, albeit having hit $147 and $34 in the last couple of years.

Supply capacity seems to be increasing as well as problem areas start to come back on line, such as Nigeria and Iraq. In addition, over and above everything, is the ‘oil sands’ issue of massive deposits which become economic above about $55-60 a barrel.

While the peak oil argument is very valid, oil is a consumer item price based on current availability.

Unlike Gold, it is very expensive to store for some future date when the black stuff will undeniably be scarce. So until such time as demand actually does overpower possible supply, talk of $100 then $200 a barrel is likely to be frustrated.

Crude Oil Spreads, 15 Feb 2010

Crude oil is having a very peaceful start to the week having given up on the plus $75 level last week, but also rejected sub $72.50 as well.

There appears little to go for in the short term and the inventories releases on Wednesday/Thursday may be required to get us moving.

In the meantime the price action remains random within the ranges.

Crude Oil Spreads, 13 Feb 2010

Price Update:
  • Brent Crude Oil / UK Oil (Apr) closed last week at $72.90
  • WTI Nymex / US Oil (Mar) closed last week up $2.94 at $74.13 (up 4.13% week-on-week)

How to Spread Bet on Crude Oil?

As with many markets, you can spread bet on the future value of commodities, like Crude Oil, rising or falling.

At the time of writing the Brent Crude Oil (December) market is $93.75 - $93.80 with FinancialSpreads.com. This market expires on 15-Nov-07.

Therefore you can trade on Brent Crude Oil settling:
  • Above $93.80 per barrel by 15-Nov-07, or
  • Below $93.75 per barrel by 15-Nov-07
It is important to note that with the Brent Crude market, you trade in £X per tick, where a tick is $0.01 of Crude Oil movement. Eg if your stake was £4 per tick and the Crude Oil price moves $0.08 (8 ticks) then that would be a £32 difference to your profit / loss.

Crude Oil Trading Example

So taking the above spread of $93.75 - $93.80, let’s say you think Crude Oil will finish above $93.80 per barrel on 15-Nov-07.

Therefore you buy at $93.80 for a stake of £2 per tick.

And so let's say that by the closing date the Oil markets settle at $97.82.

If so, your profit/loss is worked out by taking the difference between the settlement value of $97.82 and the value you bought the spread bet at, $93.80, and then multiplying that by the stake per tick.

Profit / loss = (($97.82 - $93.80) / $0.01) x £2 per tick stake.

= ($4.02 / $0.01) x £2 per tick stake.

(ie the price of Crude has increased by $4.02)

= £804 profit.

However if the market did not move as you

Loss = (($91.75 - $93.80) / $0.01) x £2 per tick stake.

= (-$2.05 / $0.01) x £2 per tick stake.

(ie the price of Crude has gone down by $2.05)

= -£410 loss.

Where can I Find Free Live Prices on Crude Oil?
