Abstract:During the Pandemic, the benchmark for the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil went as low negative $40. There were huge supplies all across the Oil exporting countries while low or no demand for crude oil across the countries due to Pandemic. Most countries experienced a total lockdown, making various organisations to shut down across the globe.
During the Pandemic, the benchmark for the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil went as low negative $40. There were huge supplies all across the Oil exporting countries while low or no demand for crude oil across the countries due to Pandemic. Most countries experienced a total lockdown, making various organisations to shut down across the globe.
Normalcy began to return after many countries reached the peak of the virus as the day to day business activities resumed gradually, which reflected in the rise of Crude Oil. It took just a month for the price of WTI Oil to return to $35 from the negative prices..
Indication showed in April that price of Crude Oil gapped up from the negative region to $12.43. Price of Crude Oil is yet to retrace, leaving a lot of uncertainties in the future price of Crude Oil. The Daily Chart shows price is in a range. Price of Crude Oil has shown a high level of stability for the past few weeks. RSI indicates that the price was overbought at $37 in June. WTI Oil price has failed to dip despite increasing cases of the Corona-virus in some countries. The World Health Organisation (WHO) is yet to find a vaccine for the virus, most economies that were on lockdown are yet to resume a 2nd lockdown despite experts warned of a second wave.
There has been a low demand of oil across the nations of the world since the virus is seen as a hindrance. Industries that are majorly affected are the airline, shipment agencies, which is majorly the transportation sector of economies of the world. Oil is a major component for transportation. If more countries resume a lockdown, this might make the price of Crude oil to tank. The first dip in April lasted for a short period.
As the Crude oil price is currently in the upper region of the Bollinger bands on the weekly Chart, RSI shows price has repeatedly reached the over-sold regions twice in less than two years. The current price of crude Oil is at $43.39. Price has failed to reach the next psychological level of $44. The current squeeze in price might lead to a high volatility soon; it either to the upside or the downside. In the last two weeks, the resistance level stands at $43.86 and the support level stands at $41.52.
Until the pandemic becomes history, price of crude oil might not break the psychological level at $50. The oil exporting countries will need to see the oil price go greener before debts owed can be paid. Also, the 4hr chart showed on the RSI that price has been overbought. Could this be the beginning of a major bearish move or a continued bullish movement? Nevertheless, the Ichimoku has shown a bullish future.

Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) will elect a new leader to succeed the resigned Shinzo Abe as the next Prime Minister on September 14. This election, therefore, will be determined by the LDP factions rather than the country's public opinion. While Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga has taken a lead in the LDP's leadership race, he stressed to carry “Abenomics” forward with no novelty in his political platform.
A Majority of market participants are net long on this pair and have sustained the bullish trend move since the start of the half year trading session during the year but seems a short term sell-off may portend.
USD/JPY changed little in the last sessions waiting for a clear signal from JP225 and from the USDX. The Japanese Yen could lose more ground versus the dollar if the Nikkei will resume its upside movement.
The pair has broken a psychological level unseen in over two years this week, but could the Fed be doing more harm than good to the dollar? This week, it’s all eyes on the employment data, and what impact -- if any -- it could have.
