Fundamental influences are “conflicted” right now: Sevens Report Co-Editor, Tyler Richey, Quoted in Morningstar

Global oil prices fall for fourth straight session, with demand and Middle East risks in focus

Fundamental influences are “conflicted” right now, Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research, told MarketWatch.

“Higher-for-longer central bank policy expectations, a strengthening dollar, and subsequent worries about the sustainability of economic growth in a high-rate/strong-dollar environment, are acting as headwinds on global oil prices,” he said, while “simmering geopolitical situation between Israel and Iran is simultaneously keeping a fear-bid in the market.”

Geopolitical factors remain the primary influence on the oil market

Geopolitical factors remain the primary influence on the oil market: Tyler Richey, Sevens Report Co-Editor, Quoted in MarketWatch on MSN

Oil prices fall, but settle above lows, as traders monitor Middle East risks

Geopolitical factors remain the “primary influence on the oil market,” and news that Israel was withdrawing some troops from parts of Gaza was seen as a step toward de-escalation in its military conflict with Hamas, Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research, told MarketWatch.

Also, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly announced that a date has been set for an invasion of Rafah, which has been a “hotly contested issue in the ongoing talks between Israel and Hamas,” said Richey.

“The initial perception of improving geopolitical dynamics between Israel and Hamas initially weighed on oil prices [Monday], but renewed uncertainties about the potential for the military conflict to intensify” saw much of the early losses recovered before the close, Richey noted.

Geopolitical factors remain the “primary influence on the oil market,” and news that Israel was withdrawing some troops from parts of Gaza was seen as a step toward de-escalation in its military conflict with Hamas, Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research, told MarketWatch.

However, reports on Monday indicated that there has been no progress toward a cease-fire agreement between the sides.

Also, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly announced that a date has been set for an invasion of Rafah, which has been a “hotly contested issue in the ongoing talks between Israel and Hamas,” said Richey.

“The initial perception of improving geopolitical dynamics between Israel and Hamas initially weighed on oil prices [Monday], but renewed uncertainties about the potential for the military conflict to intensify” saw much of the early losses recovered before the close, Richey noted.

Oil Futures Briefly Plunged To New Session Lows

Oil Futures Briefly Plunged To New Session Lows: Tyler Richey Quoted in Morningstar

Oil prices mark first gain in 4 sessions as risks of market disruptions in the Middle East remain

Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research, pointed out that during Wednesday’s session, oil futures briefly plunged to new session lows after a preliminary news headline crossed the wires about Israel agreeing to delay a ground invasion of Gaza, but reports then said the provided reason for the delay was that the Israeli military was awaiting the arrival of U.S. missile support.

All of that “suggests an invasion is still imminent — just not right at this moment,” Richey said.

An implied measure of consumer gasoline demand, known as total motor gasoline supplied, was “largely steady with its smoother four-week moving average rising to a more-than-one-month-high,” said Sevens Report’s Richey. “That firming demand metric amid an unexpected drop in refinery runs last week is likely to result in some near-term pressure on supply, which is bullish for energy prices.”

Hard Landing vs. Soft Landing Scoreboard Update

Hard Landing vs. Soft Landing Scoreboard Update: Start a free trial of The Sevens Report.

What’s in Today’s Report:

  • Why Didn’t Stocks Drop On Yesterday’s Yield Spike?
  • Hard Landing vs. Soft Landing Scoreboard Update

Stock futures are lower and oil is up 3% as tensions in the Middle East remain elevated despite President Biden’s visit to Israel.

Chinese economic data topped estimates across the board overnight. But an imminent default by embattled property developer Country Garden weighed on sentiment in Asian markets.

In Europe, U.K. CPI came in hot as it held steady at 6.7% vs. (E) 6.5% in September.  While the Eurozone HICP “Narrow Core” met estimates at 4.5%.

Looking into today’s session, there will remain considerable focus on the conflict between Israel and Hamas amid Biden’s visit to the region and if no progress is made towards a ceasefire, rising oil prices will continue to act as a headwind on risk assets.

Domestically, there is just one economic report today: Housing Starts (E: 1.394 million) that should not meaningfully move markets. There are aslo multiple Fed officials scheduled to speak: Waller, Williams, Bowman, and Harker.

Earnings season also continues today with: MS ($1.27), ALLY ($0.80), CFG ($0.92), WGO ($1.32), TRV ($2.93), and PG ($1.71) and reporting ahead of the bell, while TSLA ($0.75) and NFLX ($3.46) will release results after the close.Hard Landing vs. Soft Landing
