De-risking in Preparation for Escalation | S6 E19

April 23, 2024 16:00 - 43 minutes - 30.2 MB

Looking at the past week, the oil market was too long and had to de-risk. Brent Futures saw a week of stagnation and mean reversion, $90/bbl oil was very short lived and sell-off was driven by speculative positioning cycles as market participants took off length amid a waning geopolitical premium. Looking to the refinery margin change, Dated Brent was weaker than last week and is now seeing a little bit of support, whilst gasoil continued to weaken. Martha notes the difference between the...

A Debrief on Israel and Iran | S6 E18

April 16, 2024 15:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MB

Off the back of another tense week with the recent attacks by Iran on Israel, Greg, Jorge, James and Martha discuss the impact (or, lack thereof) the event had on oil prices. As a bonus for this episode, Jorge and Martha will provide a trade idea each!  There was a muted response for Brent futures, with prices oscillating around $90/bbl, opening on Monday at $90/bbl and closing at $90.50/bbl. Looking at the CFTC report, the market is quite long - especially by managed by money players. The...

Risks to risk parity | S6 E17

April 11, 2024 16:00 - 42 minutes - 29.5 MB

Prices were around $89/bbl last week, but since then there's been a noticeable uptick - not quite reaching $92/bbl and oscillating around $90/bbl since. Refinery margins have weakened, with refined products struggling - with the exception of gasoline. Gasoil is extremely weak, with poor distillate performance in all regions.  EBOB has seen greater strength with the market keen to buy into last week's weakness. Looking to our macro news segment, James unpacks the latest headlines shaking up ...

Finally, the Economy! | S6 E16

April 02, 2024 16:00 - 34 minutes - 24 MB

Brent Futures have made a notable climb since last week, hitting $89/bbl on Tuesday morning. It's crucial to analyse the impact of recent developments on oil demand. Notably, both China and the USA have seen expansions in manufacturing activity, marking significant milestones. What has been the impact of headlines regarding tighter supply and the possible contagion of geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East? Examining the refinery margin, we observed a supportive trend in the Dated market. ...

A Topsy-Turvy Market | S6 E15

March 26, 2024 17:00 - 36 minutes - 25.6 MB

Brent futures surged to $87.70 last week, only to encounter resistance and profit-taking flows, settling this week at a sturdy $85-86/bbl range. Macroeconomic factors and persistent supply concerns are pivotal in sustaining these levels. Refinery margins face widespread pressure across regions, while the gasoil market sentiment remains subdued amidst spring demand and increased freight, notably from the Middle East to Europe and Asia. Yet, amidst these challenges, there's a glimmer of hope ...

March 20, 2024 17:00 - 39 minutes - 27.7 MB

With Group CEO Greg Newman abroad, Light Ends Direct Trader James Todd steps up to host World of Oil Derivatives for another market update episode.  Since last week, Brent Futures price rallied from sub $83/bbl this week to over $87.50/bbl yesterday.

Buy East, Sell West | S6 E12

March 13, 2024 17:00 - 30 minutes - 21.1 MB

Crude flat price has been remarkably neutral in the past week, sitting around $82/bbl (slightly down from $83/bbl). However, the market has found a genuine equilibrium - a price level where everyone seems happy. Looking to the refinery margin, Naphtha showed significant strength with the MOPJ crack for April exceeding -$5/bbl, while Mar/Apr in the NWE region remained robust at $20/mt. Gasnaphs saw a rise from $185 to $195/mt for April, which drew bids at the relatively cheaper levels. EBOB ...

Highway to the Danger Zone | S6 E11

March 05, 2024 17:00 - 35 minutes - 24.8 MB

Oil markets are all of a sudden kicking into gear, and it seems we are now on that highway to the danger zone. With every market indicator of the underlying physical market strong, and forward derivative prices indicating that this will last for some time, the only thing left to truly perform is the outright price.  Will this carry through? And will the danger zone of inflation, demand destruction and overextension grip oil markets once again? It’s been a bullish week in the crude market, ...

IE Week in Focus | S6 E10

February 27, 2024 17:00 - 26 minutes - 18.4 MB

It's been another rangebound, albeit less bullish week in Brent futures. Crude prices came off from around $84/bbl. down to the low 80s, where it found some support on Monday. As for the refinery margin change, Dated Brent is significantly weaker. There were some significant moves in gasoline and gasoil. The latter saw a real weakness in prices amid poor European demand. Martha also looked into American refinery margins, which is also weak across the whole gasoil complex and heating oil esp...

Pressure on the End User | S6 E08

February 20, 2024 18:00 - 23 minutes - 16.5 MB

It's been a bullish week for crude flat price this week and has been supported above $80 levels, reaching a peak of $85.50, which is seemingly finding resistance at current levels. However, overall market sentiment has been quite bullish from both hedge funds and speculators alike.  As for refinery margins; there's been a week-on-week decline of nearly $3/bbl in the prompt. Currently on a downtrend but where will it find support?   Looking at oil from a macro perspective, China has cut the...

Testing Market Capacity | S6 E07

February 13, 2024 16:00 - 32 minutes - 22.7 MB

Last week, Brent crude flat price rallied, pushing up over $80/bbl and staying there since then. The rejected ceasefire deal on Feb 06 supported this bullish momentum. We've seen strength across refinery margins - particularly in Europe - with a notable rally in product prices, including strong bidding in the physical market. Greg, Martha, and James discuss ongoing geopolitical conflict, refinery outages, and potential oversaturation due to early positioning in Q3 and the need to balance re...

Refinery Profitability | S6 E06

February 06, 2024 18:00 - 49 minutes - 34.5 MB

Brent futures softened from over $80 last week, to stabalise around $78/bbl on Feb 6. Geopolitically, tensions persist in the Middle East with ongoing conflicts and ceasefire talks proving elusive. Despite positive economic indicators, market enthusiasm appears lacking, reflected in WTI spreads in contango and a rangebound regime across the crude complex. As for the refinery margin change; the weakness in crude oil is impacting refined products. The Dated Brent market, with a lack of intere...

Lead and Lag: Predicting the Futures | S6 E05

January 30, 2024 17:00 - 30 minutes - 21.5 MB

Brent futures spent most of the week with prices typically above $80 per barrel, recording a second week of gains. Geopolitical risk premiums strengthened, and positive economic news from the US, along with promising developments in China, contributed to the positive sentiment. As for refinery margins, it's been a positive week, with products driving the rally and support seen from every product down the barrel. Greg reflects on the paradox of the Dated Brent market, pivotal in global crud...

Searching for Macro Themes | S6 E04

January 23, 2024 18:00 - 40 minutes - 28.2 MB

Brent futures saw sub $77/bbl levels on 17 Jan after poor economic data from China saw the GDP rise by 5.2% in Q4 compared to the forecast of 5.3%. CFTC data for the week to Jan 16, (in Brent futures) saw a continuation of a more bullish sentiment, with bullish speculators adding almost 15mbbls (+5%) of length, whilst their bearish counterparts decreased their short positioning by 1.5mbbls (-2%).

Stopping Out Determining the Price | S6 E02

January 16, 2024 18:00 - 44 minutes - 31 MB

Supply and demand modelling is no longer enough to accurately determine market value.  The recent market has been a perfect illustration of this in key differentials in the oil market, which have been driven by stop outs, pushing market prices against the fundamental consensus. Example discussed are the North Sea differential rally in prompt DFLs, Brent Dubai's move against market consensus and propane volatility in US contracts. Onyx Capital Group CEO joins Research Associates Martha Dowdi...

Geopolitical Risk Premium Encore S5 | E42

December 19, 2023 17:00 - 39 minutes - 27.4 MB

The resolution of the OPEC drama has brought contentment to market players as they embrace a stable oil price in the low 70s. Despite this relief, demand concerns persist as Brent spreads remain in contango until April/May'24, indicating a prevailing weak physical sentiment in the market. Complicating matters, a geopolitical risk premium hangs over the Red Sea, prompting commercial shipping companies to avoid the area. Instead, vessels are rerouted through the safer but longer passage aroun...
