Price volatility in oil futures remains historically extreme right now said Tyler Richey

Oil futures lose more than 11%, as energy ministers consider release of emergency crude reserves

“Price volatility in oil futures remains historically extreme right now,” said Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research. It is “safe to expect more volatility in the sessions ahead regardless of the direction, as the market has become almost entirely headline-driven with keen focus on the Middle East,” he told MarketWatch.

Signs of an AI bubble and an increasingly stressed lower-income consumer could dampen investors’ enthusiasm for stocks, says Tom Essaye

Three scenarios that could spook stocks in October, according to a Wall Street veteran

Signs of an AI bubble and an increasingly stressed lower-income consumer could dampen investors’ enthusiasm for stocks, says Tom Essaye, founder of the Sevens Report.

There are a few things that could spook investors in October, or the coming months.

As Halloween decorations start to appear in storefronts and on front porches across the U.S., one Wall Street veteran has decided to take a closer look at three scenarios that could spook markets as the fourth quarter gets underway.

“Over the weekend, my family and I decorated our house and yard for Halloween. While doing so, it dawned on me that much of the financial media and analyst community isn’t accurately portraying this market reality: The outlook for stocks and risk assets remains positive, but if things start to turn bad, the situation becomes downright scary from a return standpoint,” said Tom Essaye, founder and president of Sevens Report Research, in commentary shared with MarketWatch.

Oil began to “peel off” after comments from Trump

Oil began to “peel off” after comments from Trump: Tyler Richey Quoted in Morningstar

Oil at 2-week low as Trump’s efforts to lower crude prices imply a boost in output

Oil began to “peel off” after comments from Trump suggested that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries may raise oil production, Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research, told MarketWatch.

In part due to the president’s “America First global policy stance,” Richey said, “the world knows that he wouldn’t hesitate to inflict economic pain on nations with policies in place that are not aligned with our domestic best interests. That includes major oil-producing countries like Saudi Arabia, which has been the de facto leader of OPEC since its inception.”

He continued: “The last thing Saudi Arabia wants right now, though, is lower oil prices amid their already subdued output, so they would not be likely to roll over and open the spigots without some sort of concessions – whether it be military [or] defense assets … or some other promise of U.S. investment in Saudi Arabia.”

Growth and inflation have been firmer than expected

Growth and inflation have been firmer than expected: Sevens Report Founder Tom Essaye Quoted in Morningstar

Why U.S. stock market’s slump on rising Treasury yields may be short-lived

While U.S. fiscal concerns tied to a potential Republican sweep in the upcoming election may be behind the 10-year Treasury yield’s rise, “it’s much more likely the 10-year yield has risen to three-month highs because growth and inflation have been firmer than expected,” according to a note Wednesday from Sevens Report Research.

“Economic growth since the Fed rate cut has been almost universally better than expected,” including the September jobs report, retail sales, data measuring the services sector and estimates from Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model, the note said.

The lack of certainty about future production

The lack of certainty about future production: Sevens Report Co-Editor, Tyler Richey, Quoted in Morningstar

Oil prices fall for a third consecutive week

“The lack of certainty about future production targets, as soon as this fall, by major producers like Saudi Arabia and Russia prompted a ‘sell-now-ask-questions-later’ reaction” earlier this week, Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research, told MarketWatch.

Optimism regarding a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas had been building

Optimism regarding a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas had been building: Sevens Report Co-Editor, Tyler Richey, Quoted in Morningstar

Oil pares gains as Hamas reportedly accepts cease-fire plan, Israel warns of Rafah invasion

“Optimism regarding a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas had been building over the last week or so, and that was reflected in last week’s steep drop in oil futures price,” Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research, told MarketWatch.

The reason the oil market didn’t see more of a selloff Monday in the wake of the news that Hamas has accepted the cease-fire proposal is that “it was largely already priced in,” said Richey.

Also, “despite the progress in negotiations, military action is continuing on with reports of 50 Israeli air strikes in Rafah today alone -and that is keeping speculative shorts on their toes as we start the new week,” he said.

There is certainly still a geopolitical fear bid in oil markets

There is certainly still a geopolitical fear bid in oil markets: Sevens Report Co-Editor, Tyler Richey, Quoted in Morningstar

Oil prices score weekly gain, breaking run of back-to-back weekly losses

“There is certainly still a geopolitical fear bid in oil markets here with [West Texas Intermediate crude] prices in the low $80s,” Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research, told MarketWatch. “Geopolitical worries have eased from their most tense levels seen earlier in April as the escalation in the Middle East between Israel and Iran has receded back to a still unsettling, but notably more stable level.”

Without the simmering geopolitical worries, WTI would likely be in the low-to-mid $70-a-barrel range, “at best,” as consumer demand for gasoline has been sliding in recent weeks, while OPEC+ has made no changes to output policy in some time, he said.

Gasoline supplied, dropped to the lowest level since mid-February

Gasoline supplied, dropped to the lowest level since mid-February: Sevens Report Co-Editor, Tyler Richey, Quoted in Morningstar

Oil prices end lower on weak U.S. gasoline demand

The most notable takeaway from the Energy Information Administration report Wednesday was the weekly implied measure of consumer demand for fuel at the pump, gasoline supplied, which dropped to the lowest level since mid-February, said Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research.

That indicated a “steady and relatively quick pullback” in domestic fuel consumption in recent weeks,” he told MarketWatch.

U.S. gasoline supplied for the week ended April 19 fell by 239,000 barrels a day to 8.4 million bpd.

And that was “not a ‘one-off’ either, as the 4-week moving average of the often volatile gasoline supplied data fell for a third consecutive week to the lowest reading since the week of March 8th,” said Richey. The EIA data showed the four-week average for gasoline supplied, as of last week, down 3.7 million bpd at 8.7 million bpd.

“Those disappointing implied consumer demand figures paired with the smaller than expected gasoline supply draw on the headline poured some cold water on the market…as worries of a persistently tight physical fuel market are beginning to subside,” said Richey.

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: Sevens Report Co-Editor, Tyler Richey, Quoted in Morningstar

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.

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.
