Coming in early with a 3-decimal place answer! The confidence.....

I see you've left the currency ambiguous though. Smart move. Now you can argue this was in pesos or whatever currency brings you closer to the correct answer.....I'm on to your tricky ways @DayTrader 😂

Haha well on my platform WTI is to 3 decimal places. Brent admittedly is only to 2 and I never trade it, but I can't edit now coz I'll be accused of cheating. And I'm not gonna wait until the last second to make my prediction - that's verging on cheating. PFF. Get your predictions in bitches!! 

And no confidence at all - I looked at daily charts for each oil for first time in weeks, normally I work primarily off a 15 minute chart and care where oil will be in 6 hours, not 6 weeks! I'm hoping no shooty obviously, not that it affected a lot before. 

And yes, it's quid, bucks or euros - not decided yet, I will decide in late Dec ...

I believe the prices will continue to float in their current rut, weighing on the trade war, ample supply, continued economic slowdowns and overall optimistic outlook going into 2020.  opec meeting, we will see if ksa will do "whatever it takes" to prevent glut in first half of the year anf get prices up, which they need prior to their public offering.  far from something short of a serious outbreak of large proportions(markets shrugged off everything this last year) may be gloomy going into 2020 so I don't see much movement in prices going in...but we'll see and cross our fingers

[Alex Svobodin + 2]

WTI (bullish view): OPEC agrees on deeper cuts, though current inventories and demand declines offset the optimism not allowing the price to rise too far

Brent (bearish view): oil will follow the stock market Xmas correction. Current stock valuations are quite rosy and should any of the significant risks materialize the correction would be imminent dragging the price of oil down

Spread (slanted towards stable-slightly bullish): the higher the oil price in any 'marker' the bigger the spread.
