Today’s Crude Oil Market Analysis
1. Real-Time Price Performance
Brent Crude Oil:
Main contract quote $112.99 per barrel, down $1.45 from the previous settlement price, a decrease of 1.27%.
Intraday trading range is $112.81–$114.07 per barrel, with a high of $114.44 during the session.
WTI Crude Oil:
June futures closed at $106.42 per barrel, a daily increase of 4.39%;
After briefly breaking above $106 in the early morning, it pulled back, down 1.30% for the day.
2. Core Driving Factors
Geopolitical Tensions Persist:
The Strait of Hormuz shipping crisis remains unresolved, and the Fouchah Port fire in the UAE has heightened supply disruption concerns.
Negotiations between Iran and the U.S. have stalled, with the Trump administration rejecting Iran’s phased negotiation proposal. Reports indicate the U.S. military has developed strike plans against Iran.
OPEC Structural Rift:
On May 1, the UAE announced its withdrawal from the OPEC+ alliance, sparking market concerns about the disintegration of the oil-producing countries’ coordination mechanism. Although actual production increase is limited by shipping blockades, this could weaken OPEC’s capacity to enforce production cuts in the long term.
Inventory Warning Signals:
Institutions warn that global crude oil inventories may fall to “operational lows” between May 9-30. If blockades persist, prices could face exponential increases.
3. Technical Aspects and Market Sentiment
Bull-Bear Battle Intensifies: Brent crude repeatedly crosses the moving average system intraday, with RSI indicators entering mid-to-high zones, indicating short-term profit-taking pressure.
Key Price Ranges:
Resistance levels: Brent $113–$115, WTI $108–$110;
Support levels: Brent $100–$95, WTI $95.
4. Future Market Focus
Geopolitical Developments: Whether the U.S. military will take action against Iran, and the progress of negotiations on Hormuz Strait navigation.
Economic Data: U.S. evening release of ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI and crude oil inventory data (API/EIA).
Policy Risks: UAE’s plans for capacity release after leaving OPEC, and whether other oil-producing countries will follow suit.
