Oil Bettings are Higher in Nine Years

Fund managers, producers & consumers made the higher bets on West Texas Intermediate crude oli prices in 9 years, among signals more uncertainity is coming.
 
Global markets were rolled after Trump’s shocking election as US president & as OPEC sustained negotiations on a deal to cap crop. The US dollar mounted to the highest since January. A part of oil uncertainity surged previous week to a 7month high, a hint that traders were anticipating higher price swings.
 
On Nov. 15 the week ended, the most since 2007, US Commodity Futures Trading Commission data release. Trading volume of calls giving controllers the right to purchase WTI futures risen to a record that day. The CBOE Crude Oil uncertainity Index touched the highest since April.
 
There’s a lot tension in the market, with both producers & consumers worried regarding the what OPEC does or don’t do on Nov. 30, told Tim Evans, an energy analyst at Citi Futures Perspective in US. They consider to be protected from surprising value moves.
 
OPEC Meeting
 
All the investors are measuring the chances that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting nations will complete a deal to cap gain at its Nov. 30 meeting in Vienna. Although Saudi Arabian Energy Minister Khalid Al-Falih said Al Arabiya channel he’s optimistic a deal will be confirmed, only 7 of 20 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg earlier week expect the group to place output goals for its members.
 
OPEC agreed in last September to cut their collective crop to 32.5 million to 33 million barrels per day & has been trying to assure other suppliers, especially Russia, to knot the cuts. Mohammed Barkindo OPEC General Secretary said he’s believe the group can decline record oil inventories & bring forward the readjusting the market.
 
John Kilduff said the Saudis are working hard to reach a deal, a partner at Capital LLC again, a New York-based hedge fund that target on energy. You don’t battle with the Fed in the bond market & when it comes to oil you don’t battle with the Saudis.”
 
The September agreement marked the end of OPEC’s 2-year long experiment with draining at will. Saudi Arabia led the group in the effort to grab market share & curb the expansion of more costly reserves such as US shale.
 
US Production
 
Although US production has chops from 44-year high on previous year, the decline is slowing down. The Administration of Energy Information this month raised its gain expectations for 2017. according to Baker Hughes Inc, rigs targeting oil in the US risen the most in 16-months earlier week.
 
Producers and merchants expanded short positions, or protection across lower WTI prices, to the highest levels from March 2011. They added 66,613 bearish contracts over the last two weeks as values retreated since last month’s peak at over 50$ per barrel.
 
Managing director of ESAI Energy Inc. said, the Saudis need higher prices but won’t sacrifice just to see a key competitor, US shale, benefit, a consulting company in Wakefield, Massachusetts. The Trump election was unpredictable things. In one day the US shale business got better. The government will be more responsive to the producers.
 
Money manager’s net-long position in WTI leads for the 1st time since mid-October, jumping by 3,906 futures & options to 163,321. Shorts mounted 14% while longs risen 8.1%. WTI gained 1.8% to 45.81$ a barrel in the week report. It rises 1.1% to 46.21$ as of 9.30 a.m. London time on Monday.
