Crude Stays Strong Ahead of Holiday But Yet to Confirm Correction is Over
24 December 2009 @ 08:29 am EDT
Despite thin trading ahead of long holiday, crude oil price's near-term outlook remains strong. Currently trading at 77.2, the February contract is hovering around the highest level in 3 weeks. After plummeting to as low as 68.59 on December 14, the black gold has rebounded steadily as inventory levels from developed economies declined, showing signs of demand recovery. However, we are yet to confirm if crude oil has resumed the rise from 33.2 (January 2009) until price can trade sustainably above 80. On monthly basis, December will be a volatile month but actual gain or loss will be minimal.
