Trade Strategy 11.9.18

Posted on by November 12, 2018
Markets
 
Oil fell below the $60 levelovernight a day after slipping into a bear market. That means U.S. crude is now down by around 20% since early October as rising supply and concerns of an economic slowdown pressure prices. Fresh U.S. sanctions are unlikely to cut as much oil out of the market as initially expected with Washington granting temporary exemptions to Iran’s biggest buyers. American production has also reached a new record high of 11.6M bbl/day.
 
U.S. equities look poised to slip again at the open, continuing a global market retreat after the Fed appeared to remain on track to raise to its key rate next month. Some traders had hoped that the sharp stock selloff during what has been called “Red October” might have encouraged the central bank to take a more dovish approach, but a statement confirmed expectations of “further gradual increases” in the prime lending rate.
