Price forecast from 20 to 24 of November 2023
Energy market:
The price of chicken is rising, the price of eggs is rising. What to do? How to get out of this situation? This is some kind of horror!!! There is a proposal: switch to ostriches! This is an egg, and meat, and a feather. Moreover, one head gives all the products many times larger. All our ladies will be on the street, in taxis, in public transport and in the subway wearing feathers. Beauty! Oh, there you iron and we’ll get to the peacocks, and this is, you know, a real pheasant, and again, what a feather!
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.
Together with the hoteliers, we are waiting for OPEC in Vienna on the 25th. Judging by the current situation on the market, we can assume that if no additional cuts are announced, then we will try the strength of the support at 75.00.
China continues to be alarming. All these meetings in America between presidents, statements that large states must look for ways to cooperate no matter what. All this is alarming. That is, the States have grown together with China in such a way that they can no longer tear themselves away from each other. And if one begins to collapse, then nothing good will happen to the other. From here, China’s problems may spread to the United States. And this is bad for oil prices.
OPEC’s dreams of demand of 105 million barrels per day in the 4th quarter of 2024 may turn out to be unrealistic.
Grain market:
The market tried to accelerate in the last two weeks, but these attempts ended in complete fiasco. Sellers are able to organize a drop in prices, and for corn it can be dramatic, up to 400 cents per bushel, since the weather problems in South America resolved themselves — it started to rain. We note, however, that the economies of Argentina and Brazil continue to be in a weak state, which implies complete submission of these two countries to market prices. That is, they will not be able to dictate the will of the market by holding back supplies. And this creates predictability and stability.
Ukraine slowly continues to supply something to the foreign market. In October, 700 thousand tons were shipped. There have been reports that a grain cargo ship hit a mine on Saturday, but this is unlikely to stop the whole process, but the crews will have to pay more.
Egypt confirmed that it will continue to buy Russian wheat and urged not to believe rumors about a reorientation to Bulgarian and French products.
USD/RUB:
Over the past week, the ruble showed what was expected of it. He’s gotten stronger. Strengthening, while we are above 88.00, will be considered local in nature, but a move below this level can be regarded as an attempt to break the negative trend in the national currency.
Most likely, importers are now purchasing some consumer goods before the New Year holidays, which should increase demand for the currency, so there will not be a very strong fall in the dollar, but after the New Year, at current oil prices, it is possible that an attempt will be made to reach 75.00. But lower levels will be disastrous for the budget. Sooner or later we will still return to 100.00.
Brent. ICE
We’re looking at the volume of open interest of managers. You should keep in your mind that these are data from three days ago (for Tuesday of the past week), they are also the most recent of those published by the ICE exchange.
There are currently more open long asset manager positions than short positions. Over the past week, the difference between long and short positions of managers decreased by 3.4 thousand contracts. Both buyers and sellers left the market in small numbers. The bulls continue to control the market.
Growth scenario: we are considering November futures, expiration date is November 30. We were at 76.60, but didn’t go lower. Let’s not rush into shopping. Next week is likely to be slow ahead of the OPEC meeting.
Fall scenario: we have reached strong support levels. There is no point in selling.
Recommendations for the Brent oil market:
Purchase: when approaching 76.00. Stop:74.00. Goal: 150.00.

RTSI
Growth scenario: we are considering December futures, expiration date is December 21. At current levels, purchases are not interesting. Off the market.
Fall scenario: shorts from 115,000 look good. Russian securities in rubles have been growing for more than a year, compensating for the collapse of the Russian currency. At the same time, who said that the dollar valuation of Russian enterprises should not fall during the period of sanctions? You need to look soberly in the mirror. There is no need to pour water on it and distort the essence.
Recommendations for the RTS Index:
Purchase: no.
Sale: when approaching 115000. Stop: 117600. Goal: 50,000?!
