Energy market:

Look, look, look! I have nothing, I spent it all on all sorts of entertainment and perversions, and you, you, look, you have everything. Right? Right. Let’s split it in half so I can have it all again and issue a new vanilla fiat currency. And then we can go around telling everyone how clever we are, how resourceful and shrewd we are. What’s the holdup? Open the basement, let’s go count your gold.

And that’s when our trusty comrade suspected something wrong. To lucky combinations! Hello!

This release was prepared with the direct participation of analysts from trading platforms eOil.ru and IDK.ru. Here is an assessment of the situation on the global and Russian markets.

Despite market fears about shortages and about possible Israeli bombardment of Iranian oil fields, the oil market is capable of going into a corkscrew amid a decline in GDP growth of the leading economies. Statistical bureaus close to the government can embellish the situation in any country, but it is impossible to hide foreign trade statistics, which sooner or later will come out.

Step by step, we are dragging ourselves into a destructive spiral, which instead of a quiet crisis promises us new trials that will not be able to avoid the oil market. Growth should be supported by real demand, not by fears. Fears will sooner or later disappear, or people will get used to them, but demand, it may disappear against the background of the destruction of economic models of states, or under the influence of trade restrictions or because of the hot phase.

While the Middle East is farting and there have already turned to personalities, that is, they are engaged in assassination attempts directly on politicians, heads, leaders and authorities, in the United States a new record in production: 13.5 million barrels per day.

Grain market:

IGC reports that cereal production remains unchanged at 2,315 million tons. Note that carryover stocks are forecast to rise in the 24/25 season, which should curb bullishness in the grain market. In the background, soybeans continue to break previous records, putting pressure on feed grains and feed corn.

Note that if the Chinese economy continues to slow down, this could lead to a skew in consumption towards cheap food: rice instead of wheat, if wheat, then of lower quality, vegetable oils instead of animal fats. Chicken instead of beef. Thus, a possible crisis will put pressure on quality products. The price gap between quality food and cheap food will become smaller.

The prospect of imposing our will on the market by announcing that we will not sell wheat below some threshold will be negative in the long run. Why wouldn’t our dictates write a price of $250 per ton? We could, of course. Only if the market will be below this level for a long time, and you will not sell anything, then there may be a problem with the next year’s crop: there will simply be nowhere to store it, because you have not sold what you harvested this summer and fall. Why, you were waiting for a better price.

USD/RUB:

“Give the rate 50%,” we wrote three weeks ago. And while this “slogan” makes sense to publish. On October 25, the Central Bank of Russia may raise the rate by 2% at once. And we will have 21, the number known as “point”. If this act is carried out, we will find ourselves in a band of instability, which will increase as the rate rises in the future, as there will be no talk of any economic development. And nothing, they dance and dance in Argentina with any inflation. They may well introduce the American dollar officially. We’ve got snowballs, snowmen and snowmen. Ice slides. And vodka at the store to wash down expensive credit. But dollars… we won’t have dollars. It’s evil.

Brent. ICE

Let’s look at the open interest volumes for Brent. You should take into account that this is three days old data (for Tuesday of last week), it is also the most recent data published by the ICE exchange.

At the moment there are more open long positions of asset managers than short ones. During the past week the difference between long and short positions of asset managers decreased by 27.9 th. contracts. Buyers were leaving the market, sellers came in small volumes. Bulls are still controlling the market.

Growth scenario: we consider December futures, expiration date October 31. Technically, buying is justified at this point. Yes, we will buy. And we’ll wait for Israel to start bombing Iran. Nothing personal, just business.

Downside scenario: there is no point in selling.

Recommendations for the Brent oil market:

Buy: now (73.06). Stop: 72.40. Target: 90.00.

Sale: no.

Support — 71.49. Resistance — 75.13.

Wheat No. 2 Soft Red. CME Group

Let’s look at the volumes of open interest in Wheat. You should take into account that this is three days old data (for Tuesday of last week), and it is also the most recent data published by CME Group.

At the moment there are more open short positions of asset managers than long ones. During the past week the difference between long and short positions of asset managers decreased by 0.8 th. contracts. Buyers and sellers left the market in minimal volumes. Bears keep control.

Growth scenario: we consider December futures, expiration date December 13. The risk of falling to 500.0 has increased. Grain is plentiful and there is likely to be no stress in this market.

Downside scenario: for selling we need levels much higher than the current ones. We want 656.0.

Recommendations for the wheat market:

Buy: when approaching 500.0. Stop: 490.0. Target: 650.0.

Sellers entered the market aggressively. Bears stepped up their control.

Growth scenario: we consider December futures, expiration date December 13. We went long on the previous recommendation. Those who wish can buy here. The pullback is very deep, which is somewhat embarrassing.

Downside scenario: need higher levels to sell. For example: 465.0.

Recommendations for the corn market:

Buy: no.

Sell: no. Those in position from 1.0935, keep stop at 1.0970. Target: 1.0000.

Growth scenario: we consider December futures, expiration date December 19. Nothing new. It’s dreary. Waiting for 90600. Failure under this level will lead to panic dumping of shares.

Downside scenario: standing, not rolling up. We need at least 100000 to enter short. 105000 is better.

Recommendations on the RTS index:

Buy: when approaching 90600. Stop: 90300. Target: 105000.
