Oil Continues Weak Momentum

First published: 8 a.m. EST

WTI crude oil closed down 2.1% to $79.52, breaking below the $80 mark.

While the chart setup suggests oil could be in for a further slide, the OPEC+ meet next week remains a key event to watch. Moreover, Russia’s recent referendums in Ukraine could potentially escalate the conflict adding to global jitters.

U.S. natural gas also fell 0.7% to $6.827 today, and a break towards lower levels could be in the offing as indicated by the chart.

EIA natural gas numbers of +103bcf yesterday indicated higher storage build-up than expectations.
