During the Asian sessions, Crude oil continues to trade sideways despite the EIA report showed a build up of 6.2 million barrels. It was supposed to be bearish. What’s going on?
According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) report, it recorded an inventory build of 6.2 million barrels for the previous week followed by a build of 2.2 million barrels. Yup, Oil was supposed to drop on the news, but it surprisingly remained supported above $67 and failed to break below.
Perhaps, the only reason behind crude oil bullishness is the weaker dollar. As we discussed in our gold’s forecast, the U.S. dollar initially dips on 1.75% Fed fund rate but soon recovered to match inflation expectations. Hence, the commodity market gained support.
