How the Recent Natural Gas Surge Boosts Crude Prices

Market Analysis

As I already mentioned in a number of previous editions of our Oil Trading Alerts, we are still witnessing a very particular phenomenon of gas demand shifting to oil demand, as crude is nowadays relatively more competitive. Thus, this switch in energy demand could come in the following forms:

1. From a slowdown in electricity production in Asia.
2. From a hedging effect in the anticipation of a colder than normal winter in the northern hemisphere.

OPEC+ members are meeting today and, therefore, might increase their production a little more than expected to rebalance supply. So, would it help the black gold to make a new dip?
