Nothing slowing down oil’s rally, gold rallies

Oil rallies on tight market

Crude prices are rallying despite a small inventory build as energy traders see no end in sight as to how tight the oil market will remain. ​ Oil has been on a tear and growing fears of economic weakness have yet to slow down the rally with prices. ​ The EIA reported a build of ​ 2 million barrels for the week to June 3rd, analysts expected a draw of 2.3 million barrels. ​ Refiners are processing at levels not seen before the pandemic, which suggests the short-term crude demand outlook remains very robust. US production refuses to grow and remained steady at 11.9 million barrels. ​

The bearish parts of the EIA report was the small build, a plunge in crude exports, and as jet fuel demand remains elusive of pre-pandemic levels. ​ ​ ​

With the oil market remaining very tight, energy traders are just waiting for a catalyst for oil to retest the March highs. ​

Gold

Gold prices are rallying as investor demand grows for safe-havens as stubbornly high inflation continues to lead to global growth concerns. The big question for gold is how will prices react to a few more months of hot inflation reports. ​ Wall Street is not quite done pricing in Fed tightening, so higher Treasury yields and a stronger dollar could keep gold in a range. ​

If inflation does not come in scorching hot at the end of the week, gold could break out above its USD 1830 to USD 1880 trading range.
