I am surprised at oils resiliency here and I would have expected it would be in the mid 43s. True, the dollar is weakening today due to lower bond yields in the US, and lower dollar usually is a tail wind for oil. However, imo the chance of a recession, with a FED that is on a path to normalization, means that the hit that oil "should" take from the lower demand is of greater weight than the hit the dollar is taking. Since the US is becoming less reliant on importing oil, consumption is stronger than interest rates. At least in theory since 2+2 does not equal 4 in markets.
So holding tight. Target on oil by the model is changing, but a 43.20 ish is close to exit. By the theory above, USDCAD seems to be mispriced, as well USDNOK. They are playing the interest rate side instead of the demand side, which imo is wrong. So USD will probably gain against both "soon".

Thanks, but I don't trade. My models do. Even if GOD came down and told me where oil was going, it would do me no good unless I could code the movement causation logic.Strictly going by the charts, CL is on the verge of turning the corner. Initially, there will be a retrace back down to as low as 44.50. That's a good thing and it ain't a selloff as you might think. Once that happens, place a buy stop order just above today's high at 46.80. Price target should be around 49.50-ish.
You can buy me a beer when we get there.![]()
