Energy market:

Even if you can print as many dollars as you want, you can still run out of oil. Gasoline and diesel inventories in the US are at their lowest levels in the past five years for this time of year, and gas station prices are at their highest. In order to save money, Americans will soon pick up the new European trend and also stop taking regular showers.

Hello!

The OPEC+ coalition has promised to increase production by 648,000 barrels per day from August. The market reacted favorably to this news and the prices fell somewhat, however, while we are above the level of $100 per barrel, it is too early to say that the phase of relaxation has begun on the market. An attempt by the G7 countries to determine a certain price level for oil from Russia runs into a misunderstanding of representatives of their own Western energy companies, such as Shell, for example. Today, politicians will determine the price level for Russians, and tomorrow for their own. No market, no business. This is another step on the road to chaos. All attempts to regulate prices at all times led to only one thing — to a shortage.

By reading our forecasts, you could make money in the wheat market by taking a move down from 1100.0 to 860.0 cents per bushel.

Grain market:

Egypt at the last tender collected applications from wheat sellers for the supply of lots for several months at once: from August to October. For example, the French, taking into account the freight, are already ready to sign a contract for the supply of wheat in October at $440 per ton, and this suggests that the market is currently overheated and prices may be lower.

Turkey is making every effort to get Russian or Ukrainian grain of a new crop through the Black Sea. The negotiation process is underway, but it can be interrupted at any moment, which will cause another rise in prices for wheat and corn on the world market. Russia can harvest a record 130 million tons of grain this year, including 87 million tons of wheat. Approximately 45 million tons of wheat can be exported. Consequently, Russia will be interested in all possible channels for the sale of its products, and primarily in shipments through ports in the south.

USD/RUB:

Next week we are waiting for new proposals from the Government to depreciate the ruble against the US dollar. The growth of the national currency makes the business of exporters unprofitable. Moreover, domestic enterprises supplying their products to the domestic market will not be able to compete with Asian and Latin American producers under such a course and will be forced to stop their activities.

Obviously, in order to normalize the situation, it is necessary for the couple to return to the area of 70 rubles per dollar, but the Government does not have the levers to solve this problem in the current realities. However, by winter Europe promised to stop buying Russian energy resources. So the ruble will depreciate on its own in the near future without any additional measures.

Sale: no.

Support — 49.90. Resistance is 55.93.

RTSI

Growth scenario: since no global positive signals came to us during the week, we continue to believe that the growth of the Russian stock market under the current conditions is impossible. Purchases are not recommended. We note that Gazprom’s refusal to pay dividends to shareholders did not add optimism to domestic investors.

Fall scenario: last week we recommended going short on a red daily candle. If you followed our advice, you should be short from the 129000 level. Hold this short as there is a chance the market will cool down to the 100000 level.

Recommendations:

Purchase: no.

Sale: no. Who is in position from 129000, move the stop to 131000. Target: 100000.
