1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,279
Speaker 1: Interesting discussion coming up. Carly Garner joins US senior commodity

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: strategist and broker at De Carli Trading. So with oil,

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: we have this interesting sort of dichotomous movement here. The

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: oil price has fallen quite dramatically on the complicated reopening

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: in China, just the thought that all these new COVID

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: cases will delay the benefits from the reopening, while stocks

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: have really bolted to the upside. I'm curious some which

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: market is right or is it just the difference between

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: kind of spot considerations versus futures. Well, I think we're

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: we're looking at a situation where market positioning is kind

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: of driving momentum. And what I mean by that is

12
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago when oil test at seventy

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: for the first time. On the downside, we had a

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: couple of news events that the term prices pretty quickly,

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: and that was the reopening of China and also the

16
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: Biden administration refilling the spr and so there were a

17
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: lot of speculators that stepped in and bought those levels

18
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: with the expectation of h much much higher crew prices.

19
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we all know for last year or so,

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: speculators have been looking for a hundred dollar plus oil

21
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: and they haven't gotten what they've looked looked for, but

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: they're they're willing to buy into those dips. And I

23
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: think the fact that UM the rally fell short and

24
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: kind of ran out of steam forced all of those

25
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: those buyers out to the sidelines. And I think this

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: probably continues. I think we've probably run some stops below

27
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: seventy and test the highest sixties. But in the overall

28
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: scheme of things, at this point, all the froth that

29
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: was built into the market in the spring when oil

30
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: prices went above hundred and much higher has really been

31
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: wiped out. If you look at the COT report issued

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: by the CFTC, speculators are holding the smallest net long

33
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: position they've held in several years. And usually when speculators

34
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: have thrown in the towel on oil, that's exactly when

35
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: the trend changes. So I expect somewhere between sixty five

36
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: and seventy to be a place for the bulls to

37
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: get some footing. So coy that bings NY to say,

38
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: why a haven't the oil price has gone Further's everything

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: priced in? That's one part of my question. The other

40
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: thing is OPEC likely to be happy? An OPEC clus

41
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: likely to be happy with the prices as you're just predicting,

42
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: and I'm saying, you know, if we don't look at

43
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: the mean average, is it more case you're looking at

44
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: the mode average of each member. Well, Um, one thing

45
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: that I should point out is the China that comes

46
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: back online is not the same China that went offline. Um.

47
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: I think they're experience experiencing some economic weakness, kind of

48
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: similar to if you look at the travel situation globally

49
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: and especially in the US, it's just not as fun

50
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: to travel in two thousand twenty two or twenty three

51
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: as it was two thousand nineteen. So even as travel

52
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: was reopening, it wasn't as robust as maybe some people

53
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: had had assumed it to be. So I think you're right, Um,

54
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: OPEC would love to see oil prices hold in the

55
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: six seventy dollar area. If you look at a weekly

56
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 1: chart for years now, almost two decades, seventy has really

57
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: been a really significant pivot point. In fact, it's kind

58
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: of been almost the line between bull market and bear markets.

59
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: So this it's really important what happens here. But I

60
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: do think that sentiment has gotten so weak and speculators

61
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: are so sidelined that there's plenty of room for buying

62
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: power of prices firm up. And I think that's what

63
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: we're probably gonna eventually get after a few rough days.

64
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: If oil at some point sends a level of of

65
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: sort of prediction of recession, about what level for oil

66
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: would that be? For instance, you're talking seventy, the bulls

67
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: will come back. What if it falls down into the fifties,

68
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: And that's not impossible. I don't think that's going to

69
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: happen on this path. But if we're talking um a

70
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: year or two down the road, absolutely we'll see those

71
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: numbers again. And the reason being, I mean oil, um,

72
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: it's a limited resource. But at the same time, we're

73
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: getting better and better at pulling it out of the ground.

74
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: So as long as politics get out of the way,

75
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: we have plenty of oil to get. UM. It's just

76
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: a matter of you know, time I'm going by and

77
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: and things working themselves out. And we've seen the whale market. Um,

78
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: the last trip we had up to a a hundred fifty

79
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: dollars a barrel in two thousand seven ended in thirty

80
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: dollar oil within a year or so, so anything is possible.

81
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: And one thing I've learned about crude oil is it

82
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: never puts in quiet bottoms or quiet tops. There's always

83
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: lots of fireworks, so you want to be careful either way. Well,

84
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: one commodity which is not to producing any fireworks and

85
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: perhaps ought to have been, is gold. Given all the

86
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: uncertainty and the risks we've had out then the last

87
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: couple of years, are you surprised we have not seen

88
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: it higher than where we it's And why is it

89
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: not being seen as a haven anymore? What's the deal?

90
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: You know? I agree with you, a pent I've been

91
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: expecting gold to behave much better than it has. It's

92
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: had a rough year considering the backdrop that is probably

93
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: the best fundamental backdrop we've seen in gold almost ever,

94
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: and it still couldn't get off the map. But I

95
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: think that what was going on is the dollar was

96
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: holding it down and there were still a lot of um.

97
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: The idea you that maybe bitcoin is replacing gold was

98
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: still floating around. I think that's probably dissipated. I think

99
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: that's old news, and I think we start getting some

100
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: hedging and investment dollars back into gold. Yeah, it could

101
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: be that the dollar going down has driven gold up

102
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: and uh and may help oil as well going forward

103
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: because gold has gone from about sixteen fifty at the

104
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: beginning of November up to eighteen fifty at the moment,

105
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: so it's had a pretty good bounce here at something

106
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: like fifteen percent or so. Anyway, Thanks very much, Carly
