Dầu và USD/CAD
1 Một nhà phân tích tại Societe Generale cho biết. Xu hướng của đồng đô la Mỹ so với đồng đô la Canada vẫn chậm hơn so với hiệu suất lãi suất của các ngân hàng trung ương của hai nước. Ngân hàng Canada không có thái độ cắt giảm lãi suất, nhưng Fed đã tuyên bố rõ ràng rằng họ sẽ nới lỏng tiền tệ.
2 Đồng đô la Canada sẽ tiếp tục tăng nhờ hiệu quả kinh tế gần đây của Canada.

Oil prices continue to rise after the British Royal Navy frigate, HMS Montrose, shut down an attempt by three Iranian vessels to commandeer a BP PLC -run tanker British Heritage and U.S. oil production and transit in the Gulf of Mexico is getting shut down by tropical cyclone 2 that will soon turn into tropical storm Barry. Oil also got support from another big draw in oil Inventory from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) and from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s testimony in that assured the market that interest rate cuts are coming. Risk continue to rise as supply continues to fall and demand expectations help by a dovish fed should continue to rise.
Iran’s attempt to block passage to block the passage of a U.K.-flagged commercial vessel through the Persian Gulf, ended HMS Montrose turn its guns on the boats from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Probably a wise move by Iran to backdown at that point. The move was in response to the UK seizing an Iranian tanker that was accused of violating international sanctions against Libya. In fact, just days ago a former senior commander with Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps said it would be Iran’s "duty" to seize a British oil tanker if the Iranian tanker being held in by the UK was not released. Yet the failed attempt shows the incensing desperation and recklessness of the sanctioned Iranian regime. The Trump Administration has already signaled that there will be more sanctions and says that Iran has been cheating on the deal they made with Europe and the U.S. all along when it came to uranium enrichment. The U.S. also says that Iran’s breach of agreed upon uranium enrichment in the 2015 deal levels is "crude and transparent attempt to extort payments from the international community. If Iran continues to lash out like this the risk of premium for oil will only go higher.
Storm surge worries are centered on New Orleans as the potential of Tropical Storm Barry to test the levies in that town are high. Oil is already seeing the impact. The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) reported that as of 11:30 central time yesterday “From operator reports, BSEE estimates that approximately 31.89 percent of the current oil production in the Gulf of Mexico has been shut-in, which equates to 602,715 barrels of oil per day. It is also estimated that approximately 17.85 percent of the natural gas production, or 496.2 million cubic feet per day in the Gulf of Mexico has been shut in. The production percentages are calculated using information submitted by offshore operators in daily reports. Shut-in production information included in these reports is based on the amount of oil and gas the operator expected to produce that day. The shut-in production figures therefore are estimates, which BSEE compares to historical production reports to ensure the estimates follow a logical pattern.” The BSEE also says that personnel have been evacuated from 4 rigs (non-dynamically positioned (DP) rigs), equivalent to 19.05 percent of the 21 rigs of this type currently operating in the Gulf. Rigs can include several types of offshore drilling facilities including jack up rigs, platform rigs, all submersibles and moored semisubmersibles. Three DP rigs have moved off location out of the storm’s path as a precaution. This number represents 15 percent of the 20 DP rigs currently operating in the Gulf. DP rigs maintain their location while conducting well operations by using thrusters and propellers, the rigs are not moored to the seafloor; therefore, they can move off location in a relatively short timeframe. Personnel remain on-board and return to the location once the storm has passed.” That means after the spike if we don’t see significant dames, we should see prices come down. Again, that is if we do not see significant damage.
Forgetting all that other drama the Energy Information Administration Report (EIA) was bullish. They reported that crude oil inventories plunged by 9.5 million barrels from the previous week. That draw means U.S crude stocks have fallen 26.5 million barrels reversing previous EIA upward adjustments. The more bullish part about this report is a lot of market talk that some of the oil in inventory is just line fill for new oil pipelines that keeps pipelines running and are not really usable supply. That means oil traders may have a false sense of security when they look at the big picture and don’t look behind the data.
The EIA said that total motor gasoline inventories fell by 1.5 million barrels last week and distillates increased by 3.7 million barrels last week and are about 5% below the five-year average. Total commercial petroleum inventories decreased last week by 3.8 million barrels last week.
U.S. demand continues to be strong as total products supplied over the last four-week period averaged 20.9 million barrels per day, up by 2.5% from the same period last year. Over the past four weeks, motor gasoline product supplied averaged 9.7 million barrels per day, up by 1.2% from the same period last year. Distillate fuel product supplied averaged 3.9 million barrels per day over the past four weeks, up by 0.3% from the same period last year. Jet fuel product supplied was down 3.9% compared with the same four-week period last year. According to EIA.
Oh sure Jerome Powell moved the markets with his dovish stance on rates but it was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who was the real star when she asked about the contradiction in the Phillips Curve and why the Fed overestimated what full employment was and why the inflation relationship is becoming increasingly decoupled over time. The Fed Chairman seemed genuinely pleased with the question and gushed the answer. Of course, if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asks that kind of a question, it would seem that she has a real understanding of how the economy works and will soon admit that all of her socialist ideas wrong.
Nat gas still on the attack. The EIA is predicting record demand and record production in its Short-Term Energy Outlook. They also wrote “EIA expects the share of U.S. total utility-scale electricity generation from natural gas-fired power plants will rise from 35% in 2018 to 38% in 2019 and then decline slightly in 2020. EIA forecasts that the share of U.S. generation from coal will average 24% in 2019 and 23% in 2020, down from 27% in 2018. The forecast nuclear share of U.S. generation falls from 20% in 2019 to 19% in 2020, reflecting the retirement of reactors at five nuclear plants in 2019 and 2020. Hydropower averages a 7% share of total U.S. generation in the forecast for 2019 and 2020, similar to 2018. Wind, solar, and other no hydropower renewables together provided 10% of U.S. total utility-scale generation in 2018. EIA expects they will provide 11% in 2019 and 13% in 2020.
