Get ready for pumped up prices! Here's why RBC's Helima Croft says crude could surge nearly 20% within months

Crude prices to grind higher: RBC Crude prices to grind higher: RBC
Thursday, 6 Apr 2017 | 2:45 PM ET | 01:38
Get ready to open up your wallet a lot wider at the gas pump.

A major Wall Street bank is reiterating its bullish call on crude oil, as the fossil fuel sits at four week highs following this week's U.S. missile attack on Syria.

RBC Capital Markets Head of Commodity Strategy and CNBC Contributor Helima Croft predicts prices will climb to the low $60s within months — a nearly 20 percent move from current levels. That would translate to roughly a $1.80 gasoline spot price.

"We see it grinding higher over the back half of the year," Croft told "Futures Now," recently. "We're coming out of refinery maintenance season. So, we're going to start to see draws of the U.S. inventory. Those high U.S. inventory numbers have really been depressing prices."

Summer driving season will also give prices a "boost," and demand won't fall anytime soon, according to Croft.

Crude initially jumped two percent in reaction to U.S. airstrikes on Syria before giving back some gains. The commodity settled up one percent on Friday to $52.24 a barrel, its highest settle in a month. However, crude is still down nearly three percent so far this year.

The latest activity overseas isn't moving the needle on Croft's oil forecast... yet.

She said there's no real immediate supply disruption threat, since Syria's six-year-old civil war has moved the majority of local production offline.

However, she pointed out a few wildcards, which include potential new strains between Russia and the Sunni Arab Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, and whether the U.S. strikes could give hardline candidates a lift in Iran's presidential election in May. These situation could also propel prices higher.

In a research note out Friday, Croft wrote, "If these strikes are not followed up by a serious effort to oust the Syrian leader [Bashar Assad], none of these scenarios may materialize and the oil implications will remain negligible. However, given that President Trump had previously signaled deep disdain for humanitarian interventions and Middle Eastern military engagements, we are now in uncharted waters...."

Nearer term, Croft lists OPEC as a key factor in the direction of oil prices. She believes OPEC's next meeting on May 25 could have more immediate impact.

"We see that 1.8 million barrel a day OPEC, Non-OPEC coordinated cut. We see them rolling that over for another six months. That's why we are constructive going into the back half of the year," she said.

Crude oil, gold prices surge after US missile strike on Syria
Upbeat US employment data may boost Fed rate speculation
Commodities vulnerable if Trump, Xi find common ground
Crude oil prices surged to a one-month high after an unexpected US airstrike against Syria stoked worries about regional supply disruption. The move built on yesterday’s gains that saw the WTI benchmark marching higher alongside the S&P 500, hinting a generally risk-on mood offered support for the cycle-sensitive commodity.

Looking ahead, the on-going meeting between US and Chinese Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping remains a potent catalyst. As noted previously, signs of emerging common ground may be interpreted to mean US crude oil will flow interrupted to its biggest export market, capping price gains.


Gold prices surged as news of the Syria strike crossed the wires but the metal has been conspicuously unable to hold above critical chart resistance (see below). The March set of US employment figures is now in focus. A payrolls gain of 180k is expected, marking the smallest increase in three months.

US data flow has tended to outperform relative to forecasts in recent months, hinting that analysts are underestimating the economy’s vigor and opening the door for an upside surprise. Such an outcome may stoke Fed rate hike speculation, pressuring gold prices downward.

The Trump/Xi meeting is also an important consideration. A seemingly cordial outing may cool worries about the destabilizing impact of a rift between the world’s top-two economies. That would help clear a path for continued Fed tightening, helping to pull the metal lower.

GOLD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Gold prices continue to push up against trend-defining resistance in the 1263.87-65.66 area (February swing high, trend line, 50% Fibonacci expansion). A daily close above this barrier initially exposes the 61.8% level at 1282.31. Alternatively, a turn below the 1241.20-49.01 zone (former resistance, 38.2% Fib) targets 1218.90, an inflection point in play since mid-January.

MIDEAST STOCKS-Gulf may follow oil prices up in wake of U.S. Syria attack

Stock markets in the Gulf may edge higher on Sunday as crude oil traded to an almost one-month high in the wake of a U.S. missile strike on a Syrian air base.

For the week, crude closed up about 3 percent. U.S. crude settled 54 cents higher at $52.24 a barrel and Brent rose 35 cents to settle at $55.24.

That was after U.S. President Donald Trump on April 7 took the toughest U.S. action in Syria's six-year-old civil war, a move that fuelled geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East.

Gulf shares were mixed on Thursday as investors remained cautious ahead of companies reporting first-quarter results.

At the close, the Dubai Financial Market General Index was down 0.19 percent.

Saudi Arabian stocks rose as investors showed confidence in the kingdom's efforts to gain inclusion into MSCI's emerging markets index. The Saudi Tadawul All-Share Index rose 0.35 percent.

In Saudi Arabia, shares of Bank Alinma will go ex-dividend on Sunday, as will shares of Saudi Real Estate . (Reporting by Tom Arnold)

“Oil markets are back in bullish mode after the setback of the previous weeks. This news flow seems to bring geopolitical risks back on the radar,” said Frank Klumpp, oil analyst at Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg, based in Stuttgart, Germany.

Although Syria has limited oil production, its location and alliances with big oil producers in the region mean any escalation of the conflict has the potential to increase supply-side fears.

Oil pared some of the gains later in the session as concerns about an escalation faded and U.S. economic data weighed on global markets, according to Reuters.

Other analysts Reuters spoke with, said the conflict in Syria had no bearing on oil fundamentals and the political risk premium could fall as quickly as it had appeared.

“This might just be a speculative move higher because there’s nothing fundamental that’s supporting this rise,” said Hamza Khan, head of commodities strategy at ING.

Nevertheless, oil futures had been on the rise in previous sessions on signs of higher U.S. demand and lower product inventories.

allow me to explain why i think that Ezra bankruptcy is a very good news for Perisai. Ezra hold a 23% stake into Perisai shares, thsi means about 1.3 bilion * 0.23 = 300 milion share. with current share price at 0.07 this means a value of 20 Milion ringgit. this is realy nothing to worry about, this means that these share can be bought easaly by Perisai itself if Ezra would like to dispose it. and maybe this is what Perisai is waiting for..or otehr companies is waiting for.. all and all, this make Perisai share very atractive to collect..this is at least my interpretation to teh news.. no wonder that Perisai share is still holding at 0.07 , 0.075..

ent Crude Oil Continues Its Rise Toward $56

Reuters Monday, April 10, 2017 - 7:56am

Oil rose towards $56 a barrel (bbl) on April 10, supported by another shutdown at Libya's largest oil field and heightened tension over Syria following the U.S. missile strike.

Libya's Sharara oil field was shut on April 9 after a group blocked a pipeline linking it to an oil terminal, a Libyan oil source said. The field had only just returned to production, after a week-long stoppage ending in early April.

"It means that at least one potential source of additional supply has fallen away for the time being," said Carsten Fritsch of Commerzbank, referring to the Libyan outage.

Brent crude, the global benchmark, rose 68 cents to $55.92 at 7:09 a.m. CT (12:09 GMT), not far from the one-month high of $56.08 reached on April 7. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was up 63 cents at $52.87.

Oil also climbed on heightened tension in the Middle East, a region that is home to more than a quarter of the world's oil output. Crude rallied last week after the U.S. fired missiles at a Syrian government airbase.

Oil rose towards $56 a barrel on Monday, supported by another shutdown at Libya's largest oilfield, tension over Syria following the U.S. missile strike and signs that an OPEC-led supply cut is helping to clear excess supplies.

Libya's Sharara oilfield was shut on Sunday after a group blocked a pipeline linking it to an oil terminal, a Libyan oil source said. The field had only just returned to production, after a week-long stoppage ending in early April.

"It means that at least one potential source of additional supply has fallen away for the time being," said Carsten Fritsch of Commerzbank, referring to the Libyan outage.

Brent crude LCOc1, the global benchmark, rose 58 cents to $55.82 at 1332 GMT, not far from the one-month high of $56.08 reached on Friday. U.S. crude CLc1 was up 55 cents at $52.79.

Oil also climbed on heightened tension in the Middle East, a region that is home to more than a quarter of the world's oil output. Crude rallied last week after the United States fired missiles at a Syrian government air base.

"The developments in Syria should be factored in as an additional risk premium in the oil price going forward, especially now that oil inventories are drawing down and the market is no longer in massive surplus," said Bjarne Schieldrop, analyst at SEB.

He expects Brent to average $57.50 in the second quarter, "which means we are likely to see $60 printed at times during this period."

Oil prices have also been supported by a deal led by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to cut output by 1.8 million barrels per day for the first six months of 2017, to get rid of excess supply. Libya, and another OPEC member Nigeria, are exempt from cuts.

In a sign of OPEC confidence that the deal is working, Kuwait's oil minister said he expected producers' adherence in March to their supply cut pledges to "be higher than the previous couple of months."

The minister, Essam al-Marzouq, also said he saw "positive indications" in the decline of global oil stocks.

However, the price rally has been limited, as oil price gains have encouraged production in other countries such as the United States, filling some of the gap left by OPEC-led cuts.

U.S. drillers added oil rigs for a 12th straight week, Baker Hughes said on Friday, as energy companies boost spending on new production.

Oil Prices Pull Higher On Outage In Libya’s Biggest Oil Field

By Irina Slav - Apr 10, 2017, 10:41 AM CDT
Libya oil field
Production from Sharara, Libya’s biggest oil field, has stopped again, unnamed sources told Bloomberg. The sources said the pipeline that carries crude from Sharara to the Zawiya export terminal stopped operating on Sunday, without giving any further details.

The field produces 200,000 barrels of crude daily, contributing a large part of the country’s overall output, which stood at 700,000 bpd before last week. The first suspension of production at Sharara, as well as at a neighboring field, Wafa, occurred two weeks ago, when unnamed armed factions blocked the pipeline carrying oil to the coast, cutting the country’s total output by 252,000 bpd.

Crude Oil Prices Extend Gains as G7 Grapples with Syria Crisis
Apr 11, 2017 7:18 am +08:00

by Ilya Spivak, Sr. Currency Strategist

Talking Points:

Crude oil prices extend gains as US hardens line on Syria
Gold prices mark time as Yellen hews to policy status quo
Day 2 of G7 summit, API inventory figures on tap ahead
Crude oil prices continued to push upward as US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson took a tougher line on the conflict in Syria at a meeting with his G7 counterparts. He said the US will “[hold] to account any and all who commit crimes against the innocents,” stoking fears of a deepening crisis that may disrupt supply flow.

The sit-down extends for another day and traders will probably continue to monitor emerging commentary with great interest. Tillerson travels to Russia immediately thereafter and worries about the outcome of a diplomatic showdown may keep prices elevated. APIinventory flow data is also on tap.

Oil Markets Turn Bullish Amid Spiking Geopolitical Risk

By Nick Cunningham - Apr 10, 2017, 4:55 PM CDT
Offshore
The surprise airstrikes by the U.S. on a Syrian airfield late last week brought an element of geopolitical risk back to the oil markets, adding support to crude prices. Historically, conflict, or even just the threat of conflict, has pushed up oil prices, particularly back when supply was already tight and oil was trading at $100 per barrel. But the three-year bust in oil prices has moved geopolitical risk to the backburner because even a sizable outage in supply could have easily been handled by the enormous glut in the market.

To be sure, the Syrian war is not new – it is more than six years old. But the involvement of the U.S. could mark the beginning of a new, wider conflict and it comes just as the oil markets are showing some signs of tightening. The result is a sudden uptick in oil prices, pushing WTI and Brent to a one-month high.

Crude oil climbed to a five-week high on Tuesday, with prices underpinned by tensions following a U.S. missile strike on Syria and a shutdown at Libya's largest oilfield.

Additional support also came from expectations of strong demand as the U.S. summer driving season kicks in.

The international benchmark for oil prices, Brent crude futures LCOc1, climbed to their highest since March 7 at $56.16 a barrel. Brent was trading up 9 cents, or 0.2 percent, at $56.07 per barrel by 0135 GMT (9.35 pm ET).

U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) CLc1 was trading 6 cents higher, or 0.1 percent, at $53.14 a barrel after climbing to a five-week high of $53.23 a barrel earlier in the session.

Brent is up for a seventh consecutive session, while WTI has risen for six straight days.

Libya's Sharara oilfield was shut on Sunday after a group blocked a pipeline linking it to an oil terminal, a Libyan oil source said. The field had only just returned to production, after a week-long stoppage ending in early April.

The outage added to a rally that started late last week after the United States fired missiles at a Syrian government air base.

While Syria produces only small volumes of oil, the Middle East is home to more than a quarter of the world's oil output.

"Both Brent and WTI open in Asia at their New York highs this morning, both within shouting distance of their post-OPEC rally highs," said Jeffrey Halley, senior market analyst at OANDA.

"Geopolitical tensions and a shutdown at Libya's largest oilfield continue to support crude."

The gain in oil prices comes despite rising U.S. shale oil production.

U.S. crude inventories have touched record highs at both the U.S. storage hub of Cushing, Oklahoma, and in the U.S. Gulf Coast in recent weeks, according to U.S. government data.

Oil prices have also been supported by a deal led by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to cut output by 1.8 million barrels per day for the first six months of 2017, to get rid of excess supply. Libya and fellow OPEC member Nigeria are exempt from cuts.

In a sign of OPEC confidence that the deal is working, Kuwait's oil minister said he expected producers' adherence in March to their supply cut pledges to "be higher than the previous couple of months."

President Trump tweeted that Pyongyang is “looking for trouble” and that he would “solve the problem” with or without North Korea’s neighbor and patron China. This was the latest in an escalating exchange of threats in which the Kim Jong Un regime threatened nuclear retaliation if “even a single bullet” was fired at the Hermit Kingdom. Meanwhile, the USS Carl Vinson carrier strike group is headed towards the peninsula, and China has deployed 150,000 troops to the Korean border, possibly to mitigate the flood of refugees that would follow military action.

The crisis is long in coming. Successive generations of policymakers have kicked the North Korea can down the road since the 1953 armistice. The Kim dynasty was allowed to maintain its totalitarian dystopia because the threat was mostly contained, and there was no solution that did not involve a general war that would devastate our prosperous democratic ally in South Korea. Instead, the world awaited the expected collapse of the nightmarish North Korean dictatorship. The collapse has yet to come.
Now the calculus has changed. North Korea has an active nuclear weapons program and is rapidly developing the capability to deliver these weapons to the United States mainland. Kim Jong Un, the communist state’s third dynastic ruler, is determined to have a seat at the strategic nuclear table. If the United States waits, one of the most bellicose, seemingly least rational regimes in modern history will have the capability to kill millions of Americans at a stroke.
The Trump administration has reportedly been drawing up contingency plans for solving the problem before millions of American lives are at stake. National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster said Sunday that deploying forces in the region was prudent and that President Trump has asked for “a full range of options to remove that threat to the American people and to our allies and partners in the region.” The Trump administration isn't the first to consider preemptive military action against North Korea. Defense secretaries from the Obama and Clinton administrations made the case in 2006. But active counterproliferation against North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs — which is to say, destroying them — has always been risky because of the threat of millions of North Korea troops swarming south.
However, there may be a solution that at least lowers the risk. During last month’s combined exercises in South Korea, U.S. forces participated in a simulated decapitation strike to take out North Korea’s leadership. The decapitation option is attractive because all power in the totalitarian state is focused in Kim Jong Un. If he vanished, the state apparatus could well be paralyzed. North Korean generals would hesitate to take action because initiative has been bred out of the power structure; anyone with ideas and ambition has probably already been fed to the dogs.
Kim could well have sought to deter such a strike by issuing standing orders to initiate a spasmodic military strike in case of his death. But his underlings may not execute it. The model would be Adolf Hitler’s last-ditch “Nero Decree” to reduce Germany to scorched earth, which his staff chose to ignore. Senior North Korean leaders may recognize how much better life would be with the Kim regime gone; no more living under threat of being executed by anti-aircraft weapon for accidentally nodding off at a meeting, for example.

Kim Jong Un may conduct country’s sixth nuclear test soon
Tensions increased after Trump sends warships to region
North Korea’s nuclear test site appears “primed and ready” to conduct a trial, according to analysis by a U.S. research institute.

Commercial satellite imagery of the Punggye-ri site from April 12 shows continued activity around the north portal, new activity in the main administrative area, and a few personnel around the site’s command center, analysts wrote on the 38 North website.
