Trade Of The Day
*Crude oil prices traded sideways, reflecting a tug-of-war between positive and negative market drivers. On the supportive side, China’s crude imports rose nearly 5% year-on-year in March, buoyed by inflows from Iran and Russia. However, optimism was capped by a deteriorating global demand outlook. Goldman Sachs revised its Q4 2025 demand growth projection to just 300,000 barrels per day. UBS also downgraded its Brent target by $12 to $68, with WTI revised to $64. Meanwhile, JPMorgan lowered its projections, citing higher OPEC+ output and weaker demand from the petrochemical sector.
* WTI is currently hovering near its resistance zone, showing signs of consolidation. The MACD indicator lacks strong directional bias, while the RSI stands at 53, reflecting neutral sentiment. The price is likely to continue ranging between 62.75 resistance and 59.15 support until a breakout confirms the next directional move.
Heightened U.S.-China trade tensions could introduce further volatility in the crude oil market, potentially accelerating price swings.
