Crude Oil - the oil market continues to correct
Brent Crude Oil quotes are correcting, trading just above 98, amid serious concerns about falling energy demand due to a new outbreak of coronavirus in China and, as a result, severe restrictions on the movement of citizens.
The market is awaiting the outcome of US President Joe Biden's visit to Saudi Arabia. John Kirby, National Security Council strategic communications Coordinator at the White House, said yesterday that Biden intends to hold meetings with King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, as well as with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud. This visit has a specific goal of persuading Saudi Arabia to increase oil production levels, thereby reducing its quotes on the world market. However, experts are sure that it will not be successful for the United States, since the day before it became known that at a recent online summit of the BRICS organization, which includes the Russian Federation and China, the issue of Saudi Arabia's membership in the organization was discussed.
On the global chart, the price is trading below the key level of 100.00. Technical indicators are holding a steady sell signal, which is still strengthening: fast EMAs of the Alligator indicator are moving away from the signal line, and the AO oscillator histogram, being in the sell zone, is forming new descending bars.
Support levels: 96.22, 88.63 | Resistance levels: 100.7, 106
