Oil Climbs Past Resistance as US Shale Boss Says Output to Peak

Oil Climbs Past Resistance as US Shale Boss Says Output to Peak

(Bloomberg) -- Oil broke above its 100-day moving average as a shale executive in Houston projected America’s most prolific basin will soon peak, though China’s tempered economic forecast limited crude’s upside.

Most Read from Bloomberg

The key technical level was breached for the first time in four months with lackluster supply expectations from the US. Oil production in the Permian Basin will peak in five to six years, Pioneer Chief Executive Office Scott Sheffield told Bloomberg TV Monday at CERAWeek by S&P Global.

“Crude is breaking out of its recent trading range on what started out as a bearish day on the heels of China’s 5% GDP target,” said Rebecca Babin, a senior energy trader at CIBC Private Wealth.

Oil was pressured by China’s latest economic growth goal that was lower than economists projected, suggesting that a boost in the nation’s crude consumption will be smaller than the bulls had hoped for. Meanwhile, Gunvor Group’s CEO noted that so far the trading house isn’t seeing any major disruption to Russia’s flows for the upcoming month.

Dueling hopes over China’s recovery and expectations of more interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve have kept oil prices in a narrow range and squashed volatility this year. The commodity already has had more days with swings smaller than $2 in 2023 than it did in all of 2022.

Investors this week will also be watching jobs data and speeches from Fed Chair Jerome Powell this week for clues on the path for rates, with the potential for higher borrowing costs and a longer period of restrictive monetary policy posing headwinds for global fuel consumption.

The market depth for the two leading trading pairs - bitcoin-dollar and bitcoin-tether - stands at 5,600 bitcoin, the equivalent of about $155 million, Kaiko said.

The $15 billion bid, led by domestic buyout firm Japan Industrial Partners (JIP) and accepted by Toshiba's board last week, could finally end years of exhausting battles with activist shareholders that sparked management reshuffles and strategy reversals.

    SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australia's biggest lenders said on Tuesday the domestic financial sector was unlikely to be caught in turmoil engulfing rivals in the US and Europe, but warned that raging competition to sell home loans and attract deposits was hitting margins. Regulators and bankers insist the country’s banks, bolstered by post-global financial crisis reforms are well placed to handle the solvency and liquidity shocks that rocked lenders overseas like Silicon Valley Bank in the U.S. A stress test announced by an Australian prudential regulator on Tuesday found bank capital would stay above minimum levels in a doomsday scenario where unemployment rose to 11%, house prices fell 43% and cyber attacks hit the major banks.
