USOil | New perspective for the week | Follow-up detail

Driven by worries about demand linked to recession risks and the strain in the US banking sector, the oil prices experienced a dramatic decline in the previous week (6.5% drop). However, Oil prices received a boost after Friday’s robust US jobs report which eased concerns over the prospect of a downturn in the economy as strong jobs growth is often a plus for oil, whose consumption depends on peoples’ mobility and economic vibrancy. The US economic docket will be closely watched in the coming week as the US Department of Labor Statistics is set to release April inflation data on Wednesday with economists expecting the core consumer price index, which excludes volatile food and fuel prices, to increase by 5.5% on a year-over-year basis, after a 5.6% increase a month earlier. A weaker-than-expected reading could increase the expectations for a rate cut which in turn may cause a price correction upward in the coming weeks for the oil commodity but a beyond-expectation data would support the case for interest rate hikes in the future. In this video, we dissected the market structure from a technical standpoint to sniff out trading opportunities ahead of the new week.
