Energy market:

In faraway Nigeria, they have come to the conclusion that oil should be sold for naira, not for capelin, but for naira, which is their currency. Not everyone can give up dollars and euros. Maybe we will also sell oil for naira. Why not? For anything.

They say that 20% of Russians keep their money at home. That’s right. 20% of pensioners have collected their last paycheck. Hello longer! And don’t be in a hurry.

This release was prepared with the direct participation of analysts from trading platforms eOil.ru and IDK.ru. Here is an assessment of the situation on the global and Russian markets.

After Iran’s attack on Israel, Israel’s attack on the Arabs, Hezbollah’s attack on Israel, it’s endless, the oil market in the form of Brent shook off 70.00 and is now hovering around 80.00. Will they continue to pound each other? Absolutely. But it’s expensive. Iran has already recouped its costs for the attack due to the growth of oil, because of its own actions, but Israel has to get money for its Middle East adventures somewhere. You saw the Merkava tank, not only is it expensive to build, it’s expensive to fuel. And who’s going to pay for all this? The tankers! They’ll pay for the shells, too. If that’s the way it’s going to be. It’ll all be over very quickly.

The U.S. set a new record for oil production per day: 13.4 million barrels. And that’s despite the hurricanes that hit the country one after another. We should drill. Suddenly, the oil craze will be over. Everyone will live in wooden houses, ride horses. There’ll be flavors!

In general, it is worth recognizing that if there is no oil tomorrow, nothing terrible will happen. There is gas, there are biofuels, electric batteries, there are finally cycle rickshaws and sailing fleets. Therefore, the current bacchanalia with the growth of energy consumption, and the demand in the 25th year will continue to grow and will reach almost 105 million barrels per day, it is economically important, but for the normal functioning of humanity is no longer.

The oil market will remain in tension for some time, maybe a couple of weeks. But if Israel does not bomb Iranian oil rigs, the price will slowly slide back to 70.00. And then the New Year.

Grain market:

The concerns of market participants about the volume of the Russian harvest in the 25th year are justified. There is a risk of an unsuccessful sowing campaign in the fall, which could lead to a situation next summer, when we will be contracting wheat and there will be nowhere to get it. There may be a risk of grain being washed out of the domestic market and even a certain deficit.

So far, the “shortage” sounds a bit of a stretch, given that even against the backdrop of inflation, there is no increase in local wheat prices. If we make assumptions in what case it will not be good: if less than 60 million tons of wheat will be harvested. If we proceed from historical data that once in 7 years there is a drought, especially in the Volga region, then it is time for us to get the full program from the weather. It’s just the climate. Yes, it happens. Of course, no one needs it, but if in fact “suddenly” only 60 million tons are collected, then maybe the land reclamation program will be more developed.

There is evidence, and commentary, that in Canada farmers are not happy with current price levels and are holding on to grain. This may well be the case, as the previous years of ’22 and ’23 were much more hearty. And you get used to good things quickly. 600 cents a bushel now is not the same as 800 cents a bushel then.

Yes, you can bet that next spring in Russia will be dry. But what if it isn’t? Producers don’t have to come up with anything. Sell it gradually as part of your own needs.

USD/RUB:

“Give the rate 50%,” we wrote already the week before last. Unfortunately, the background remains such that you realize: nothing is impossible. For the time being, we will talk about the 20% threshold. This is the level from which extremely negative events in the economy may start, if the Central Bank decides to raise the rate on October 25. The development of new large projects by independent business (if there is such a thing) is impossible. Only if a corporation makes a profit, it will go somewhere with its own money at its own risk, but nobody does that, as a rule they borrow from banks, and at these rates it is an extremely difficult story.

Ruble on the futures has moved down from 96000. If it will be 93000 we can think about buying. As long as we are above 90000 we cannot say that the upward trend is over.

Brent. ICE

Let’s look at the open interest volumes for Brent. You should take into account that this is three days old data (for Tuesday of last week), and it is also the most recent data published by the ICE exchange.

At the moment there are more open long positions of asset managers than short ones. Over the past week, the difference between long and short positions of asset managers grew by 126.5 thousand contracts. The change is gigantic! Buyers entered the market, sellers left it in approximately equal volumes. Bulls strengthened their control over the market.

Growth scenario: we switched to December futures, expiration date October 31. We wrote about the downward pullback, but we did not mark the levels. Volatility is high. Those wishing to enter long are waiting for a pullback to 76.20.

Downside scenario: there is no sense to sell yet.

Recommendations for the Brent oil market:

Buy: on a pullback to 76.20. Stop: 75.00. Target: 86.00.

Sale: no.

Support — 76.84. Resistance — 82.23.

RTSI. MOEX
