Energy market:

Cheerful greetings to all investors and traders from the falling market. The authorities began to fear a new virus with the «omicron» index. If a week ago we were discussing whether the whole of Europe would be quarantined, now it is worth considering whether the whole World will be closed for quarantine. Israel did not wait and guess, Tel Aviv forbade the people to move around the world.

As everyone saw, on Friday oil attempted suicide and went down by $ 10 in a day. If the OPEC + countries do not suspend the increase in production next week on Thursday, December 2, Brent will be at 60.00 very soon. If the supply on the market is reduced, we will still go down, just not so quickly. It is worth noting that if fear of a new strain of the virus paralyzes the mind, then, like a year ago, we can again see wild sadness in the eyes of oil exporters.

Against the background of the horror of a new kind of Chinese infection, the question arises again on the scene related to the truly immeasurable help of the American authorities to their citizens. If incentive programs are resumed, then the value of everything in dollars will only grow. Everything except oil.

Reading our forecasts, you could make money on Brent crude, taking a move down from $ 82.00 to $ 74.60 per barrel, on WTI crude oil, taking a move down from $ 82.00 to $ 70.60 per barrel. On the gasoil market, taking a move down from 750.0 to 615.0 dollars per ton.

You could also make money in the coffee market by moving up from 192.00 to 194.00 cents per pound.

Grain market:

In circumstances where there is a threat of new lockdowns at the level of countries and continents, food prices will not go down. We can observe small corrections, but we cannot say that the grain or oilseeds market will decline.

The story with a twofold increase in fertilizer prices and their physical shortage will also prevent the markets from sinking. After gas prices in Europe soared five to seven times, the cost of fertilizers also went up sharply. Current gas prices in the Old World remain at levels close to $ 1,000 per 1,000 cubic meters, which does not give European producers the opportunity to produce, first of all, nitrogen fertilizers at normal prices, such as urea.

The poorest countries may not financially pull the sowing season, which will lead to an increase in demand for grain on the international market next fall.

USD/RUB:

To be honest, we expected more from the ruble. The surrender of positions against the dollar in November with oil prices above $80 per barrel is frankly disappointing. Now that the oil has gone down, unfortunately, we cannot talk about a return to the 70.00 level. The growth of the dollar will again accelerate inflation, Nabiullina will again raise the rate, and so on in a spiral.

What can help? First: revision or cancellation of the budgetary rule on purchases of dollars, second: global disappointment in the US currency in the event of a suspension of the curtailment of the quantitative easing program in the United States. The US Federal Reserve meeting is already on December 15th, it will be interesting.

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.

Over the past week, the difference between long and short positions of managers decreased by 10.1 thousand contracts. We see that before Thanksgiving there were no buyers in the United States. The bearish sentiment in the market has been already for several weeks, which ultimately led to a strong fall on Friday.

Growth scenario: December futures, expiration date December 31. We will continue to refuse purchases. The fundamental situation is not in favor of the bulls. And how many before this fall they wrote about oil for $ 100. All around the puppeteers.

Falling scenario: considering the rate of the fall, you could have stayed in shorts and did not close the profit at 74.60, however, the levels for fixing were clearly good. Those who stayed in the position up to the level of 60.00, and possibly 50.00, are holding. Those who came out are counting on a pullback to 76.00 in order to sell again. Recommendation:

Purchase: no.

Sale: when rising to 76.00. Stop: 82.00. Target: 60.00 (50.00). Whoever is in the position from 82.00, move the stop to 82.00. Target: 60.00. (50.00?)

Support — 64.63. Resistance — 77.58.

Gas-Oil. ICE

Recommendation:

Purchase: when approaching 800.0. Stop: 780.0. Target: 900.0.

Falling scenario: when approaching 600.0, one can sell in anticipation of a rollback to 560.0, hardly lower.

Recommendation:

Purchase: no. Those who are in the position from 538.0, move the stop to 570.0. Target: 600.0.

Sugar 11 white, ICE

Growth scenario: March futures, the expiration date is February 28. Most likely we are going to 18.15. When you approach this level, you can buy.

Recommendation:

Purchase: when approaching 18.15. Stop: 17.40. Target: 23.20.

Gold. CME Group

Growth scenario: the market went not only below 1820, but also below 1800. This is a surprise, and an unpleasant one. We will buy at the current levels, although there is fear.

Falling scenario: if the market goes below 1750 it will be extremely surprising. But this may not happen, since the threat of new lockdowns will force the dollar’s value relative to gold to be revised downward, of course.

Recommendations:

Purchase: now. Stop: 1774. Target: 2060.

Sale: no.

Support — 1720. Resistance — 1814.

EUR/USD

Growth scenario: a new strain of the Chinese virus hit the US dollar on Friday. The people are excited, and on Monday they will be even more excited. The euro has a chance to rise to 1.1700.

Falling scenario: due to growing uncertainty, we are forced to tighten stop orders close to the current values.

Recommendations:

Purchase: now. Stop: 1.1194. Target: 1.1680.

Sale: no. Those who are in positions between 1.1900 and 1.1650, move the stop to 1.1330. Target: 1.1060.

Support — 1.1185. Resistance — 1.1688.

USD/RUB

Growth scenario: there is very little doubt that the ruble will visit the 77.00 level. Whatever signs of weakness the dollar shows due to the threat of a new round of a pandemic, the main driver for the ruble will be the price of oil. And it can go to the level of 50.00 Brent in case of slowness of the OPEC + countries.

Falling scenario: we are not thinking about sales yet. The situation is extremely vague.

Recommendations:

Purchase: no. Those who are in the position from 74.10, move the stop to 72.90. Target: 77.00 (82.00).

Sale: no.

Support — 74.07. Resistance — 77.12.

RTSI

Growth scenario: December futures, expiration date December 16. We continue to refuse purchases. When approaching 150,000, those who wish can enter the long, but there is no need to cherish high hopes. It is possible that Friday, November 26th was only a forerunner, but Monday will appear before us in all its red glory. And this applies not only to the Russian market, but also to the global one.

Falling scenario: as well as three weeks earlier, we do not open new sell positions, we keep the old ones. The move to 150,000 is no longer just possible, it is highly probable. You can close 25% of the volume of previously opened shorts.

Recommendations:

Purchase: no.

Sale: no. Who entered between 192,000 and 190,000, move the stop to 173700. Target: 150,000.

Support — 144410. Resistance — 163150.
