Oil Prices Drop As Supply Disruption Concerns Ease

Fundamental Analysis

* Barrel Blues: Crude oil prices have declined by over 1% as traders realized that prolonged supply disruptions from Hurricane Beryl were unlikely. Hurricane Beryl was initially predicted to cause significant damage to U.S. crude hubs, but major refineries along the Gulf Coast sustained minimal impact after Beryl weakened into a tropical storm. The U.S. oil-producing hub in Texas experienced less storm damage than initially feared. Oil and gas companies in Texas began quickly resuming operations on Tuesday, and ports were set to reopen since the impact of Hurricane Beryl was expected to be minor. Additionally, ongoing ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas have also contributed to the decline in oil prices, as Hamas has made several major concessions in efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement with Israel.

Technical Analysis

* Technical Breakout: Crude oil price was traded lower while currently testing the support level 81.40. MACD which illustrate bearish bias signal suggest the commodity to further extend its losses after it breaks below the level.

* Resistance and Support: If the bearish momentum persists, there’s a strong likelihood that the price will potentially head towards 80.25 after it breaches below the level 81.40. Conversely, a potential correction is also to be expected and the price could head towards 82.75.
