Brent bounces back from two-decade low after US president takes aim at Iranian vessels
Oil prices rebounded on Wednesday after Donald Trump stoked Middle East tensions, saying that he had ordered US warships to “shoot down and destroy” Iranian vessels if they posed a threat. The US president’s intervention sent Brent crude back above $20 a barrel after the international benchmark had tumbled to its lowest level since 1999 on concerns over the collapse in global oil demand. The declaration from Mr Trump also helped buoy the high-yield bond market, which is heavily exposed to the fate of energy companies. BlackRock’s iShare high-yield bond exchange traded fund, known by its ticker HYG, rose 1 per cent, having dipped 1.8 per cent on Tuesday.
“I have instructed the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea,” Mr Trump wrote in a tweet. The prospect of renewed tensions in the Middle East gave crude a lift during a week where prices have struggled to contend with an evaporation in demand triggered by the coronavirus pandemic.
Brent rose as high as $22.45 a barrel and settled at $20.37, up more than 5 per cent on the day. The energy sector helped lead a rally on Wall Street that sent the benchmark S&P 500 up 2.3 per cent following two days of falls. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite closed up 2.8 per cent. West Texas Intermediate, the US marker, rose 19 per cent to $13.78 a barrel. It almost halved during the previous session and earlier in the week fell into negative territory for the first time as producers were forced to pay buyers to take oil off their hands ahead of the expiry of futures contracts.
Brent crude remains down about 27 per cent so far this week. Oil production levels have remained robust even as the virus destroys demand, creating a supply glut. An unprecedented cut of almost 10 per cent of global supply by Opec and its allies will take effect next month, but traders worry it is not enough to offset the collapse in consumption. The head of the International Energy Agency on Tuesday called for the output reductions to be expedited and deepened. Opec members met by phone overnight, but there was no sign they would change their plans.
shale oil collapse will soon lift up brent crude..was waiting for BA to drop more but it doesnt...0.115 collected already disposed at 0.18...too bad....
you dont have anything in hands..apa lancao mindset you have here.. cant wait for the massive slump just to have a laugh at others with shares in hand...
I mean no offense to those who hold shares, just think about the oil price and this share price, how can it be the same when oil falls so many? Some more Brent are expiring on 30 April + Short selling coming back on 30 April. Really good luck to those who hold.
Don't cry when you made loss. I have stated facts to educate you a little, I know I am a bit offensive but I would rather be offensive than you losing money. :)
Know need to warn people in the market unless you are expert people in the market or oil expert logically at low price say trap you should ask people to sell above 40cts n above 3 months ago

stklearner why is energy index turn frm -0.8% to up +0.5% n refuse to go down ? Can some experts shed some light, a bit confused.. 24/04/2020 12:16 PM
i no expert, but read somewhere tht 'why' will only get u entangled into analysis paralysis. U only want to get a meal or two here, not stay for supper as well isnt it ? kakaka
maybe, try 1) What is the near-term trend ? , 2a) if up, what is a safe entry pt, 0.17 c maybe, exit 18.5-19.5 ? 2b) if down, do nothing,look elsewhere lor
Bad news from Petronas ... Petronas is said to have reduced the number of its fully active rigs from 18 to 4 since oil price began dropping late last year ... Petronas had shut down or warm-stacked 14 projects until oil price recovers to break even levels, an industry publication reported, quoting sources ...
How many times did you pump petrol for in the past 30 days? Don't expect oil to rebound in near term. Even Petronas cut employees salary (no sure if they cut the bullshit too)
I guess I was right. No point bashing me, I know I give my opinions based on facts, although it may hurt your feeling but it will be better than hurting your wallet.
Next week is quite eventful ... Thursday is Brent oil June2020 contract expiry date, no sure whether any oil price collapse or not ... Friday suppose to be able to do short selling for IDSS, no sure whether Bursa would announce extension or not ... Could be a roller coaster week ...
She can defend herself very well...hence it so easy to manage this counter...always steady as usual...no need to monitor everyday...she knows how to take good care of herself...
See you all at 60...
Remember to start engage when she breaches 50...Armada Operator will not let her cross 60 sen based on last year track record. 55 is the target. Upside is Claire Court Case Appeal.
