THE GREAT OIL PRICE PREDICTION CHALLENGE OF 2018

[Kevin + 2]

4 Week AVG 

WTI @ $80.49

Brent @ $87.08

Spread @ $6.59

Tight market with higher risk on downside because of:

Demand side 

- China : U.S. Trade Skirmish 

- Dollar strength 

- EM slow down 

Tight market because of:

Supply side 

- Russia & Saudi boost supply 

- Iran sanctions reduce supply 

- Venezuela situation intensifies reduce supply 

- Russia & Saudi want good prices but don’t want to shock demand. Both looking for stable level. 

- Midterms over Trump pressure off 

[Baran + 5]

The more we pull back our arrow the more and fast and precise we can get something in return. 45-50 is a good target.

I believe that Iran will create a major problem in the Strait of Hormuz with military action (mining, speed boat attacks, etc), similar to actions taken in 1988. Another catalyst I believe will cause supply constraints are: instability in Libya, Iraq, and Venezuela, et al. The Permian bottleneck will cause the spread to increase. 

[Miguel Yilalys + 1]

Unless the political chaos rise more my prediction on annual avg oil prices is:

[Boat + 1,315]

Spread - $13.00

[Kostas_83 + 2]

 

WTI = $103

BRENT = $96

SPEAD = $ 7

India is a rising consuption economy which thirsty for oil.

Major Meditteranean issues are going to happen. 

Already we know the "trade tax conflict" between the big economies.

My suggestion is that the oil is possible to go higher!!!

[Brandon Cavallaro + 2]

Justification: China v US, US v Iran, Iran v NOPEC, Permian production v Permian pipelines and most of all my crystal ball was recently sent in for a solid buffing: 

WTI $72.12

Brent $83.17

Spread $11.05

 

p.s. Do people get disqualified if their spread isn't equal to Brent-WTI ? Maybe that's the tiebreaker !
