*Supply shocks driving prices: Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries and pipelines have reintroduced a geopolitical risk premium, tightening near-term supply expectations for Brent and WTI.
*Macro and Fed influence: Rising confidence in a potential Fed rate cut next week and a weaker U.S. dollar through most of yesterday have supported oil prices, boosting demand expectations.
*Caution remains: Global growth signals are mixed, refined-product demand is uneven, and the geopolitical environment remains highly headline-sensitive.
Oil prices continued to push higher over the past day as markets absorbed supply-shock headlines stemming from Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries and pipeline infrastructure as events that reintroduced geopolitical risk premium into crude markets. The strikes have raised immediate concerns about refined-product output, tightening near-term supply expectations and providing a bullish impulse for both Brent and WTI.
The rally was further supported by improving macro risk tone and rising confidence that the Federal Reserve may cut rates as early as next week. Lower borrowing costs typically support global consumption outlooks, lifting demand projections for crude. Moreover, a broadly softer U.S. dollar through most of yesterday added tailwinds to commodities, amplifying oil’s upside momentum before the dollar’s late-session rebound.
Still, traders remain cautious. Global growth signals remain mixed, refined-product demand is uneven across regions, and the geopolitical environment is highly headline-sensitive. With today’s Core PCE inflation release still pending, demand expectations could shift quickly depending on how aggressively markets recalibrate Fed policy pricing.
For now, oil’s fundamental backdrop remains skewed to the upside, with supply-side risk driving sentiment more than demand uncertainty. But volatility is expected to remain elevated, especially if further infrastructure attacks occur or if U.S. inflation data meaningfully shifts monetary policy expectations.
Technical Analysis
USOIL remains confined within a well-defined descending channel on the chart, with price once again rejecting the upper boundary near $60.00, reinforcing this level as a persistent short-term ceiling. Despite the broader downtrend, the market continues to find reliable support around the $58.00 zone, a level that has repeatedly triggered bullish reactions, as shown by multiple reversal wicks earlier in the chart. This price floor remains the key pivot within the current structure. A sustained break above the channel resistance and the $61.45 horizontal level would be required to signal a more meaningful bullish reversal, potentially opening the door toward $65.15. Until then, the trend favors continued range-bound-to-bearish behavior.
Momentum indicators are moderately constructive but not yet convincing. The RSI has climbed toward 56, indicating improving bullish momentum but still failing to break decisively into strong territory. The MACD shows a mild bullish crossover, though the histogram remains shallow, suggesting that momentum is developing but not yet strong enough to confirm a breakout from the broader downtrend. Together, these signals imply that the upside attempts may struggle unless buyers can push beyond the channel’s upper boundary with clear conviction.
Resistance level: 60.00, 61.45
Support level: 58.00, 56.40
