A weak dollar has been supporting oil price as it makes the dollar-denominated commodity less expensive for foreign buyers.
Metals
It looks at gold price levels relative to their own trailing 200-day moving average, using a multiple simply calculated by dividing gold’s daily close by its 200dma. This secular gold bull was stealthily born back in mid-December 2015 when gold sunk to a deep 6.1-year low. Gold miners’ earnings and thus stock prices are overwhelmingly driven by gold’s fortunes. Recent changes in sentiment warn that the current Gold price trend may soon reverse higher despite the fact traders remain net-long.
Gold’s necessary and healthy correction after its last upleg shot parabolic looked to finally reach maturity as November ended, both in size and duration. Gold’s price behavior in recent weeks was very consistent with the latter, a major correction bottoming preceding its next upleg. That rGold indicator hadn’t seen such crazy extremes since September 2011, only a couple of weeks after gold’s last secular bull peaked. In different terms, Bitcoin (and gold and dollars) gain value from network effects: the more people willing to hold them, the more valuable they are.
It is becoming digital gold, an asset people are willing to hold to protect against inflation or just for diversification. This sounds like “greater fool” theory… but it’s the same reason people value gold or US dollars. As gold shot parabolic in the terminal weeks of that upleg, it soared to extraordinarily-overbought levels of 1.260x its 200dma! All that selling hammered gold’s price back to oversold levels.
The gold miners’ stocks are finally perking up again, after spending months slogging through a grinding correction. Gold’s latest upleg that peaked in early August at an all-time-record high proved a monster. Personally, I think Bitcoin has rounded the corner of mainstream acceptability and is on its way to complement gold as an asset. So sellers soon gained the upper hand and forced gold lower, rapidly at first. This doesn’t guarantee gold’s correction is over but reveals high odds for that eventually proving to be the case.
Gold’s technicals are superimposed over my favorite indicator of overboughtness and oversoldness, a tool called Relativity Trading.
Gold has found some support this week from the 20-day simple moving average with the $1,820/oz. My objection to Bitcoin was Buffett’s objection to gold: it’s not a productive asset.

Oil
Though the cartel will curb about 7.2 million barrels per day next month, it is lower than the current 7.7 million barrel per day cuts. This signals that the oil market is tightening and demand is robust, paving the way for an oil rally. On the Crude Oil front, oil jumps on talk of progress in stimulus. Crude oil prices (CO1:COM) rebounded, topping $50 per barrel for the first time since March. less Image: Bigstock After registering the best month ever, the energy sector continued its bullish trend as oil price rose on vaccine optimism.
In fact, Brent oil surged to above $50 per barrel for the first time since early March. In the overnight electronic session, the crude oil looks like it’s perched waiting to get a good headline and shoot for $50 a barrel-like Brent achieved in yesterday’s action. Additionally, reports showing Chinese demand exceeding pre-COVID levels and an uptick in Chinese refinery runs also led to a spike in oil price. That could be an amazing deal for the companies that purchased the leases, even after paying rent plus royalties on any oil produced.
It gets the upside from LNG (fastest growing energy source after Renewables) and at the same time (hopefully) a premium valuation, more in line with clean energy companies. The IEA said in November 2020 that oil demand would not recover until well into 2021. This is because the oil market is currently in a state of backwardation, where later-dated contracts are cheaper than near-term contracts, for months.
The January crude oil is currently trading at 4672 which is 6 points lower. Oil operators are still cutting exploration capex to be able to pay for an overblown dividend. Hopefully, the oil sector restarts a slow recovery expected in H2 2020. Further, the OPEC and its allies reached a fresh deal to curb oil output in January. In the end it came down to just 4,133 acres in Kern County, where there are existing oil fields. Should this process fail, we would likely remain in a warm-dominated state, posing risks to the downside in the land of natural gas prices.
