I do not comment on every twitch in the market price of oil...I have better things to do than that.

Funny you like to think any twitch or hiccup in the e-revolution as a sign it is "over."  Yet, oddly enough, it continues to this day.

Year-over-year decrease is not a "twitch."  Oil is now both short and long-term bearish.

If you don't like the taste of crow don't be wrong so much.  How is that OXY stock you praised doing?

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=NYSE%3A+OXY

Down 13.4% in last month.  Down 20% in last year.  That is an oil company, not an oil market price, investment in oil is down.

[TailingsPond + 1,008]

WTI $66.02 That is a pretty big "twitch!"

Put some salt and pepper on your crow to help it go down.

 

[TailingsPond + 1,008]

An economist should know what support and resistance levels are...  this is a pattern not a twitch.

WTI $65.70 that is some twitch!  If eco actually had investments he would be caring about this.

Demand for oil is hot and getting hotter.

"Oil is off to a strong start of Q3 with Brent rallying past $86 per barrel.

According to commodity analysts at Standard Chartered, the Brent rally is sustainable well past $90/bbl.

Latest estimate: 2.5 percent -- September 09, 2024

The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third quarter of 2024 is 2.5 percent on September 9, up from 2.1 percent on September 4. After recent releases from the US Census Bureau, the Institute for Supply Management, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, the nowcasts of third-quarter real personal consumption expenditures growth and third-quarter real gross private domestic investment growth increased from 3.2 percent and 0.0 percent, respectively, to 3.5 percent and 1.2 percent, while the nowcast of the contribution of the change in real net exports to third-quarter real GDP growth decreased from -0.37 percentage points to -0.40 percentage points.

 

We now have some interesting data on the rapidly developing downturn in general economic demand.

There is always a price to be paid for high inflation rates which engender high interest rates.

"Weak manufacturing data from Europe, Asia, and the US has signaled a slowdown in global oil demand.

The US labor Department's downward revision of new job additions further fueled demand concerns.

Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions, oil prices continue to fall due to prevailing pessimism about demand."

"Manufacturing data from key markets in Europe, Asia, and the U.S. showed a slowdown in demand for products, which by extension gets translated into lower demand for energy. In the U.S., the Purchasing Managers’ Index in July fell to the lowest reading in eight months. In the eurozone, the latest PMI reading extended a two-year contraction trend. In China, the PMI reading dropped below 50—the threshold for growth—last month.

On top of this disappointing data, the U.S. labor Department had to make a sharp revision on the number of new jobs added over the 12 months to March, as it turned out the actual new job additions were over 800,000 fewer than previously estimated, fueling concern about demand in the world’s biggest consumer of oil."

High inflation........old history caused by Oil Prices shooting up through the roof...which caused demand to go poof... you rememeber ??? you cheered on $130 oil

now we have commodity deflation.........Oil price now??? guess no one liked the $100 Barrel price and everyone is finding ways to reduce Oil demand.....Demand destruction is the direct result of the inflation causing $100 plus oil brought to you by your dimwitted pals in Russia

The demand destruction started 2 years ago....where have you been?????

the US has signaled a slowdown in global oil demand?????

and manufacturing has been slowing down.....

you do realize that oil refining is part of the picture for US manufacturing....so when the price of oil and oil products goes down the total value of manufactured goods go down  and when oil demand in barrels goes down so does the total value of US manufacturing

US manufacturing is measured in dollars 

and you got your degree in Economics????????

now back to your big claims

you said oil demand was getting hotter and hotter and you quoted the price is going up up up

you must live in a world of denial

yes the world growth in GDP has been slowing down......China is at 4.5 %

Yet the US GDP growth is still humming along at over 2 percent 

are you still praying for a recession????? all those who hate the US pray for such things

 

and electricity output in the US for all sectors is up 3.4 percent this year ..................and manufacturing is part of this and it is up

 

Electricity demand is shooting up (measured in MWH) and oil demand is going down both in barrels and price (especially in China)

Pesky EVs and pesky solar panels....no room for growth in oil demand  and the Fed rate ???? enjoy the drop in interest rates.........booms in economies go in line with reducing rates

Enjoy

You seem to be confused about the causes of inflation, old boy.

Inflation is a general condition in the economy caused by too much money supply, which is now being tamed by high interest rates. When that happens, the prices of everything will fall. 

We are now seeing that happen in the usual way, and of course demand for everything will  weaken.

The current administration will have to eat crow over this development, as the excess money supply was created to facilitate their plans.

Why should I hesitate to cry foul over the mistakes of those who oppose the normal demand for oil? You must be off center. I cited the risk of demand stalling earlier, I guess you must have been falling asleep again.

Note that the information about this was apparently delayed until the recent Presidential debate was held...a little boost for the little lady.

What do you think is the correlation between a booming economy and a 30 trillion dollar debt that may never be paid off? How about an American auto industry that is dying? Real wages dropping?

It's interesting to ask,who holds that debt? 

The U.S. national debt is primarily held by domestic investors, accounting for approximately 79% of the total debt held by the public as of December 2023.

 

Foreign investors hold the remaining 21% of the U.S. national debt. The top five foreign holders of U.S. debt are Japan, China, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, and Canada.

 

China holds only about 12% of that 21%, or about 2.5% (about $750 billion).

As of April 2024, the United States held approximately $770 billion in Chinese debt.

Hmmm...

Well one has to look at what is the US debt....is it just a measure of US dollars in circulation....digital circulation???

one mans debt is another mans wealth

Guess the US could print 30 trillion in dollars instead. and extinguish its debt....but the worlds banking system does not use physical paper any more......Try to buy a house with cash these days.....or with a check....good luck....

banking around the world is done with digital money and with wire transfers of digital money....makes you wonder how anyone verifies that the digital dollars where ever issued at one time in the US or someone can just make up a bank in a third world and claim the have dollars and trade them/use them

The debt now is just electronic dollars with interest ..........

US dollar is unique........one would think that the rest of the world would flee the dollar when all the new debt is issued.....does not happen......why one has to ask ...simple it is the only currency that is held in reserve in all countries...because there is no real viable alternative....

The Debt is the same as printing dollars ..except you get paid interest

is it a pyramid scheme???? the US Debt.........of course to a degree...it will never get paid off.....paying it off means less dollars in circulation... see we create more , which ends up in digital bank accounts or digital checking accounts around the world....and all banks and people around the world are addicted to the US dollar.....not gold....not even their own countries currencies

Alternatives????

Gold???? forget it...the world is now a digital banking world.......when you want to use your gold you have to convert it into currency and then you have to deposit it (place it in the digital banking world). Heck no one even uses printed money to any degree any more.

Land ......is the premium holder of wealth......any one wanting to move to China for its land value?????? nope Russia...unstable government...Germany......?????? bad past history......anywhere in Europe????UK maybe  rest of Europe???? good luck...You could say our debt is backed by our land.....our economic system...our legal system....etc

my take on the expansion in debt recently was welcomed by nearly every country in the world.....just means more digital dollars in circulation which helps expand economies everywhere...

The number one place in the world where people  want to be is the US    ..........schools, safety, opportunities.....why the US has such a large immigration numbers ...been going on for the last 200 years

other currencies

The Yen....forget it....the Euro.....give me a break ..we all know the Europeans will never treat each others as equals and  a real European Union such as the United States.......The Chinese currency???? people hold Crypto currency in higher regard..which does not say much

so when the US issues more debt.......it does not trigger a run on the dollar........as there is no real alternative...

Only when the world is oversaturated with US digital dollars will problems occur and this is nowhere near happening.... I myself will never complain about too many dollars in my bank account.

 

You can travel to every country in the world and the Dollar is king  even over each countries currency

now for cars........Short term answer was Tarriffs....was not a long term solution........Mexico will become the US supplier of all cars very soon

 

and I  am talking about Chinese owned car makers moving production and incorporating business and floating stocks on the NYSE  in the US and using  Mexico to produce cars to take over the US market. Whats it take to do this, US dollars which the Chinese are sitting on at least 3 Trillion US dollars.

I have been working in Mexico on and off for the past 20 years.....The planes are full of US engineers travelling to auto part makers owned by US based car makers....as just about every part  that takes manual labor for US assembled cars is made in Mexico

Only way to stop total wipe out of US Made (or should i say US assembled) is to undo the US Canada Mexico Trade pack....Good luck

Mexico is no third world country anymore..........most of it looks like the US , schools...stores....cars.....houses.....businesses.....they just pay people a lot less

Oil is strong and getting stronger.......spoken by a blind lover of coal and oil

 

the one thing in common with all of the news that is put out  on this site....none of the articles addresses the booming EV/plugin hybrid production numbers out of China and the effect on oil demand both short term and long term and the booming Nat gas fueled vehicle boom in the trucking sector in China.......

 

the article you reference, once again mentions nothing on why Oil demand is down while global energy consumption is up up up in 2024

The reality is the situation in China is driving Oil pricing and demand.......as it has for the last 15 years and now.....and it is down down down.....

has to scare the crap out of all those who are long on  oil.......IE do not get caught with stranded assets IE reserves of untapped oil.......

oversupply in Oil production will be the norm for at least the next 3 years as everyone that has any reserves is trying to produce produce produce and cash out fast

 

Saudis have been in denial for the last 2 years.....they seem to think the long term is booming demand.......no one is buying it

The Shorts are making boat loads of money....rocky road for those long on Oil at least into 2026

where is the price heading to......$60 oil coming in 2025 ...everyone wins except anyone in the Oil business......

"Typically, when oil supply is low, prices tend to rise due to scarcity. However, the current setup is unusual—while physical oil barrels are declining, the financial market appears to be betting on lower prices. For contrarians who thrive on going against the crowd, this could signal an opportunity. They may believe the market is underestimating the potential for future price increases, given the tight supply situation.

This tension between the financial and physical sides of the oil market suggests that volatility and price swings may be on the horizon. Keep an eye on these dynamics as they unfold."

The current demand fluctuations for oil appear to be more due to temporary factors rather than structural.

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/Time-To-Stop-Looking-to-China-for-Oil-Demand-Growth.html

"For years, China has been the single biggest driver of oil demand expansion.

For the second quarter of this year, China reported economic growth of 4.7%.

Despite rebounding Chinese crude imports, analysts expect slower Chinese crude oil demand growth."

"... oil imports in China are on the rebound. In August, arrivals rose to the highest in the past 12 months, suggesting the doldrums that the Chinese economy is reportedly in are not that deep after all. The August 2024 import numbers are still lower than the August 2023 average, Reuters’ Clyde Russell noted in a report on the data, by 7%.

Even so, at 11.56 million barrels daily, imports were still quite substantial. Part of the reason for the rebound was lower prices, as Reuters’ Russell noted, and these lower prices may well continue stimulating demand, such as it is, for a longer period..."
