Crude Oil Spread Betting, 21 Apr 08
Crude Oil remains tight with prices at all time highs (and seemingly making new ones every day). It is tempting to suggest that at current levels the sheer expense should have its own braking effect. Fewer and fewer people and companies will be able to maintain consumption levels at these prices which should (?? Perhaps) reduce demand enough to create a counter move. The news that hedge funds are big buyers probably means the exact opposite. They would only let this type of information leak out if they were long and looking to get out.
Crude Oil Spread Betting, 17 Apr 08
Brent crude oil is now above $112 and there is no slackening of demand. A small pull back yesterday afternoon was swiftly smashed into submission and the price went from £1.50 cents down to close £1.10 cents up. As we are in uncharted territory at the moment all we can do is speculate as to how far things will go. As always they will probably go much further than anyone suspects. I, personally, hope not but fear so.

Crude Oil Spread Betting, 15 Apr 08
There’s little in the way of economic data today, but interestingly last night’s release of the FOMC minutes gave a very interesting reading. A few members of the committee called for a smaller cut than the 0.75% the Fed made on 18th March. It seems that, as with our clients, even the Fed is finding it difficult to find common ground to try and steer their economy out of trouble. With Crude Oil prices hitting yet another record high overnight the majority of the Fed are brushing the inflation problem under the carpet for the time being. It’s easy to see now why the UK’s central bank is so reluctant to cut rates when inflation shows no signs of abating.
Our (June) Brent Crude Oil spread is currently $111.34 - £111.39 (note that this market closes on 15 May 2008)
Crude Oil Spread Betting, 14 Apr 08
Crude Oil hit a new high after a drop in inventories and news that OPEC has sneakily cut production. The Energy Information Administration warned that the oil market was tight and that prices would average over $100 a barrel this year. Brent Crude finished the week at $107.85, a rise of $3.
Crude Oil Spread Betting, 10 Apr 08
My hope that the big commodity bull run might be easing has been dealt a cruel blow by the rise and rise the crude oil.
Crude Oil Spread Betting, 8 Apr 08
The Crude Oil market is flat after a quiet session in Asia overnight.
Crude Oil Spread Betting, 7 Apr 08
There’s no comment from Simon today, however looking at last week, despite a stronger dollar, Oil prices continued higher after an Exxon Mobil refinery caught fire.

Crude Oil Spread Betting, 1 Apr 08
Crude Oil had a pretty solid down day falling $3.50s and this was after rallying over a dollar and half at the start of trading and gave a total range of six bucks. Over the past two weeks there have been three big falls of this nature and whilst the ensuing bounces have push us up to almost the same highs as before the important word here is ‘almost’. Each rally peaks at a lower point and this is often seen as a classic sign of a tired bull run.
Crude Oil Spread Betting, 31 Mar 08
The week before last was a rough one for commodities as their prices headed south. Last week, however, saw a U-turn.
Crude Oil regained much of its losses, with an attack on pipes in southern Iraq providing some support. Brent Crude Oil closed at $103.5.
Crude Oil Spread Betting, 24 Mar 08
Looking at last week, Crude oil made the $111.80 mark on Monday. However, commodities suffered a wicked reversal on Wednesday. There didn't appear to be one single explanation for this move, more a combination of reasons. Funds were rumoured to be locking in profits, preferring cash ahead of the Easter holiday. Also hedge funds were thought to be raising cash for higher margin calls by closing profitable trades. Brent Crude Oil ended the week at $100.38, down $7.
Crude Oil Spread Betting, 18 Mar 08
Commodity markets had a pretty solid reversal yesterday. Brent Crude Oil fell $4 yesterday to 'just' $102.00.
Crude Oil Spread Betting, 17 Mar 08
The continuing collapse of the Dollar, together with contrasting fears of both higher inflation and collapsing asset prices, saw investors scrambling for safety. Both oil and gold benefited from their 'safe haven status'. Brent Crude Oil climbed a further $5 to finish the week at $107.55.
