Crude Oil Brent
🔝 US Gas prices become more affordable as key breakdown is hereAmericans could breathe a sigh of relief with gas prices set to be more affordable this year.
US gas prices hit their highest 52 Weeks in August and September ahead of Labor Day, with the national average standing at $3.82 a gallon FRED:GASREGW , per AAA Gas Prices .
Gasoline prices hit summertime levels in over a decade even as the driving season comes to a halt, as a result of rising crude-oil prices TVC:USOIL driven by production cuts.
Brent crude TVC:UKOIL , the international benchmark, jumped to $90 a barrel earlier is September for the first time in 2023 after both Saudi Arabia and Russia extended oil production cuts of 1.3 million barrels a day through December 2023 in a bid to maintain price stability.
Higher US gas prices NYMEX:RB1! are a problem for the Federal Reserve, which has been trying to tame historically high inflation. The central bank has already hiked interest rates ECONOMICS:USINTR by more than 500 basis points since March 2022, helping lower the pace of consumer-price increases to 3.2% in July from last year's highs above 9%.
But the jump in fuel prices is threatening to derail the progress the Fed has made in taming inflation.
As a result, just after September, 2023 FOMC meeting market participants are waiting one or maybe two dovish Fed's Rate price actions in 2024. At the same time before September, 2023 Federal Reserve meeting, market expectations were about three cuts, near to four. (up to 100 b.p.).
Meanwhile juts a take a look what technical picture in RBOB Gasoline futures RB1! price says.
Near the middle of August, 2023 Gasoline futures prices turned massively down, due to seasonal backwardation in RBOB futures contracts, where autumn RBOB futures contracts are usually to be trade lower vs. summer RBOB futures contracts.
Moreover, in the last day of Q3'23 RBOB futures price turned firmly lower, breaking down the major trendline support that was actual all the time from disinflationary Covid-19 era. Moreover weekly SMA(52) is broken down also.
In a conclusion, I have to say that retail gasoline prices are usually to follow the major trend, within one or up to two months.

The oil market has recently witnessed a significant head and shoulders pattern breakout, signaling a clear shift towards a bearish reversal scenario. Subsequently, the price has persistently descended below the EMA200 line, affirming the establishment of a robust downtrend. Further underscoring this trend, the Stochastic indicator revealed a bearish divergence, suggesting a potential sustained downward movement towards our target area.

UKOIL potential downtrendThere is a possibility that the UKOIL, a trading instrument representing the price of crude oil in the United Kingdom, might experience a downward trend. The recommended take-profit (TP) level is at 77.2, while the suggested stop-loss (SL) level stands at 84.25. However, it's crucial to emphasize that engaging in any financial trading activity carries inherent risks. The TP and SL levels provided are merely speculative and based on an analytical idea or forecast.
The volatility and unpredictability of the commodities market, especially concerning oil prices, are influenced by multifaceted factors such as geopolitical tensions, global demand-supply dynamics, economic indicators, geopolitical events, and unforeseen natural disasters, among others. This inherently complex and dynamic nature of the market renders any predictions subject to change or deviation.
Investors and traders should conduct thorough research, employ risk management strategies, and exercise caution when making financial decisions. It's advisable to consider various sources of information, consult with financial advisors or experts, and assess one's risk tolerance and financial objectives before executing any trade based on speculative forecasts or trading ideas.
Moreover, the terms TP and SL denote the take-profit and stop-loss levels, respectively, indicating the targeted price at which a trader aims to close a position to secure profits or limit potential losses. These levels serve as guiding markers, aiding traders in managing their risk exposure and ensuring disciplined trading practices. Nevertheless, it's essential to remain vigilant and adaptable in response to market fluctuations and unexpected developments that might impact the price movements of UKOIL.
In conclusion, the forecast suggesting a potential downward movement in UKOIL with specified TP and SL levels should be regarded as a trading idea rather than a definitive prediction. Engaging in financial markets demands informed decision-making, risk awareness, and a comprehensive understanding of the intricate dynamics driving commodity prices. Traders are encouraged to exercise prudence, stay updated with market trends, and use analytical tools while acknowledging the inherent uncertainties associated with trading.
