Where is Crude Oil Headed?

Dec. 2 2010 | A look at where crude Oil is headed, with Addison Armstrong, Tradition Energy; Peter Costa, Empire Executions and CNBC's Sharon Epperson.

Gold, Oil, Copper All Higher as New Month Begins

Gold and oil both are advancing Wednesday as the U.S. dollar backed away from its highest levels in two weeks ahead of European officials meeting on Thursday to work on steps to keep the region's debt problems from further spreading. Copper also is higher.

Gold, in particular, has benefitted in recent days from Euro-Zone uncertainty as investors sought out presumed safe havens. At last look, February gold was up $11 to $1397.10 an ounce, the first time in more than two weeks that the yellow metal has approached the $1,400 mark.

The front-month crude oil contract is $1.27 higher at $85.37 a barrel, climbing past Tuesday's settlement price after earlier sinking to a low of $83.63 yesterday afternoon, soon after the end of the NYMEX floor session. Brent crude has followed roughly the same path in London trade overnight, with the January contract up 1.6% to $87.30 a barrel.

Copper is rising this morning after faster-than-expected manufacturing growth in China and increasing U.S. consumer confidence boosted the outlook for the global economy. The gain is boosting diversified miners, with BHP Billiton (BHP) and Rio Tinto (RIO) both climbing more than 2% in Wednesday pre-trade.

One possible limit on industrial metals today, however, could be warnings from a senior executive of JFE Steel Corp. that steel inventories in Japan are too high after an industry report this morning showed that steel stocks hit a 22-month high of 6.53 million tons at the end of October.

Oil price down 25 cents to $ 83.61 per barrel

Oil prices declined today on electronic markets in Asia, with the crude duty pay for the crisis triggered by some European countries (Ireland, Spain, Portugal) and which, according to analysts, could have an impact on oil demand. The barrel for delivery in January, is trading at 83.61 cents, down 25 cents (-0.3%) on the Singapore market than yesterday. But no comparison with U.S. markets closed yesterday for Thanksgiving.

Oil Prices to Remain Inflated but Do not Pass on Gas

Ranked #3 on Forbes' Best Brokerage Analysts for 2009, Oppenheimer Senior Analyst Fadel Gheit sat down with The Energy Report to shed light on existing conditions in the oil and gas sector. In terms of oil prices, "financial players are more in control now than oil companies or OPEC," according to Fadel, who is currently more bullish on gas than on oil. "Despite the fact that gas stocks gained significantly this year," he says, "we think the upside potential remains great."

The Energy Report: Why is there such a high ratio and differential between natural gas and oil right now?

Fadel Gheit: Because oil is a global commodity; gas is a regional commodity. You can have a huge discrepancy in gas prices from country to country, from continent to continent, because of a lack of adequate transportation— the means of shipping to take gas from where it's found in abundance to where it's needed. For example, gas in the Middle East has no value because there is no local market for it. Most of the oil-producing countries actually flare gas because, basically, they use gas, you call it, as a drive. They use gas to pump it back in the oil field instead of water, because they don't have water, so they use natural gas that comes as a co-product with oil to pump it back into the wells to push oil because that's what they want. They want oil; they don't want gas.

Oil Demand Does not Bode Well for Recovery Halff Says

Oct. 7 (Bloomberg) Antoine Halff, head of energy research at Newedge USA LLC, talks with Bloombergs Margaret Brennan about crude-oil demand and the outlook for oil prices. Crude oil retreated after a U.S. Energy Department report showed that inventories of gasoline and distillate fuel, a category that includes heating oil and diesel, increased as refineries bolstered operating rates. Oil also fell as the rising dollar reduced the appeal of energy to investors looking for an inflation hedge. (Source: Bloomberg)
