Top 2 Reasons to Sell WTI Crude Oil Today

WTI Crude Oil Price is mostly flat today due to solid global demand vs. ongoing concerns over rising global supply levels. We have opened a sell signal on Crude Oil for one of two reasons.

Two Reasons Behind Bearish Oil

EIA Crude Oil Inventories – Yesterday, the EIA reported a build of 5M barrels vs. 2.2M inventories beforehand. Besides for that, the OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) stated non-OPEC supply extension for 2018 was forecasted at around 1.6M barrels per day compared to 1.4M barrels per day prior. Its efforts to cut the supply continues to fail thus rebalancing the market.
