US Session Analysis for CFD Instruments 18/02/2021
Fundamental analysis
18 February, 2021
Oil prices erased early gains after Brent hit a new 13-month high above $65 a barrel on Thursday, as concerns that a rare cold snap in Texas could disrupt U.S. crude output for days or even weeks prompted fresh buying. Texas’ freeze entered a sixth day on Thursday, as the largest energy-producing state in the United States grappled with massive refining outages and oil and gas shut-ins that rippled beyond its borders into neighbouring Mexico. About 4 million barrels of daily refining capacity has been shuttered and at least 1 million barrels per day of oil production is also out. U.S. crude oil stocks fell by 5.8 million barrels in the week to Feb. 12 to about 468 million barrels, compared with analysts’ expectations for a draw of 2.4 million barrels, American Petroleum Institute data showed.
