Can crude oil keep climbing?

Tuesday, March 5, 2024

While the AI boom has garnered all the headlines, crude oil quietly hit $80 on Mar. 1. And with central banks in wait-and-see mode, as it pertains to inflation, their patience helps support economic activity, which is bullish for black gold.
S&P Global and J.P. Morgan released their Global Composite PMI on Mar. 1. The headline index hit 50.3 in February (which signals expansion), up from 50.0 in January, marking the first reading above 50.0 in 18 months (since August 2022). The report stated:
“February saw global manufacturing show signs of renewed vigour. Output expanded for the second successive month, supported by the first increase in new order intakes since June 2022.”

With warmer weather only a few months away, crude’s fundamental outlook could brighten in the weeks ahead if the global economy continues to accelerate.

If so, the 100-hour moving average may play an important role in determining the short-term price action. During crude’s bull run in January, the metric acted as support four times following the initial breakout. A similar pattern is present now, with successful bounces near the 100-hour MA occurring last week.

The Mar. 1 surge also resulted in a breakout above the January highs, and if the 100-hour MA holds (near $78.50), we may see $90 unless central banks put their pedal to the metal with rate hikes once again.

So, does crude continue its subtle rally, or will the momentum fizzle in March?

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
