Oil prices moving back and forth driven by demand concerns and tensions in the Middle East – Commerzbank

Oil prices have had a volatile week. At the beginning of the week, they were under pressure due to demand concerns. As a result, Brent fell to a seven-week low of $78.5 per barrel on Tuesday. The losses were subsequently erased before prices slipped again yesterday, Commerzbank’s commodity analyst Carsten Fritsch notes.

Oil prices have a volatile week

“At the beginning of the week, oil prices were under pressure due to demand concerns. As a result, Brent fell to a seven-week low of $78.5 per barrel on Tuesday. The mid-week reversal was triggered by increasing tensions in the Middle East after a high-ranking commander of the Shiite terrorist militia Hezbollah and a leader of the radical Islamic Hamas were killed near Beirut and Tehran, presumably in retaliatory Israeli actions.”

“Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran have in turn announced retaliation. The US expects Iran to attack Israel in the coming days. Depending on how strong this attack is, Israel could retaliate again and the conflict could escalate further. If the conflict spreads, the supply of oil from the region could also be affected. At the very least, further attacks by the Houthi rebels on merchant ships and oil tankers in the Red Sea are to be expected.”

“The ultimate risk would be a disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. A higher risk premium on the oil price therefore seems appropriate. However, this is currently being overshadowed by demand concerns, which came back into focus yesterday following the publication of weak US economic data.”

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
