Oil fireworks?

An in-person OPEC+ meeting means get your popcorn ready and prepare for some fireworks. Energy traders are pumping up crude prices ahead of the OPEC+ meeting as expectations are high that they will deliver the biggest reduction in output since the beginning of the pandemic. ​ This will be the first in-person meeting since 2020, which means they will probably go big here and deliver a cut of more than 1 million bpd.

Despite everything going on with the war in Ukraine, OPEC+ has never been this strong and they will do whatever it takes to make sure prices are supported here. ​ Both the Americans and European leaders will not be happy with this action as both their respective outlooks clearly have a downward trajectory and would benefit with falling crude prices.

Gold

Gold prices are rising as investors embraced a soft manufacturing reading that suggests the Fed will not need to remain super-aggressive with the tightening of monetary policy. ​ A new month has Treasury yields in freefall, which is great news for bullion. ​ Downward pressures on inflation are growing and that should put a top on Treasury yields for now.

Gold might have tentative resistance at the $1700 level, but if bullish momentum remains strong prices could easily make a run towards the $1740 region. ​ ​ ​
