Energy market:

If you are worried about the ruble falling against the yuan, don’t worry, you are in the market. Something is happening here all the time. What about the yuan? The eastern dragon will spew money in ’25 like Daenerys Targaryen’s dragons spewed flames. Lots of money, lots of fire. Amidst the crisis in the CCP of the PRC, Comrade Xi will privatize Taiwan, again lots of fire. Lots of sanctions again. A weak yuan. Expensive chips. A recovering ruble. Why? Because there’s a lot more meat in a dragon than in a bear, and there’s a lot of hungry people running around with pitchforks.

We need to upgrade the processor. Do it in ’24. Hello!

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.

The fashion for using armies, or gangs, whoever has what… is gaining momentum. It’s making the oil sector stormy. No one can predict anything ahead, everyone lives in the same day, always looking around for someone coming from behind. Such is our glorious world.

Until Israel’s froth subsides, we will see the oil market toned down. The fascination with emptying useless Cold War arsenals is also on trend. The Pentagon will clearly continue to unload its own deposits while helping Israel fight an invisible enemy. The battle with the genies is like that, it can be fought for a very long time. You can just shoot the fish, the one in the sea. And the effect, and the noise, and the rumble, and the confident American voters. And oil at 80.00. It could be 60.00. Moscow is not worse off, so you can go on, go on, go on figuring out who really should be worshipped there. Everything is the same as it was 1,000 years ago. The form changes, but not the content.

Grain market:

Amid concerns about the lack of moisture in the fields for quality winter sowing, Russian wheat prices have started to rise, gradually narrowing the gap with European wheat prices. Prices are rising mostly FOB, having rebounded from 210 and now stand at 228 per ton, (12.5% protein).

At EXW, stabilization is more likely. The dynamics of growth is still poorly tracked. Individual spurts from week to week can hardly be considered a trend. So far the 4th class in the Volga region is at the level of 12800 per ton and thanks to that. What draws attention is the 5th class, which does not want to fall and there is no question of 7000 or even 5000 per ton, as a year ago. Let’s give 10000 rubles.

We now have a new fetish for meat, specifically pork. And if that’s the case, we need a lot of fodder. Better yet, we should be concerned about the dairy herd. The problem is 110 years old, since 1913. Even communists could not saturate the state with milk, Finns could, but where they were then and where they are now. On the counter, a piece of what is considered butter costs 260 rubles for 180 grams (it is convenient to translate it into dollars nowadays).

They’ll take our grain. No doubt about it. Especially with the weakening ruble, poor states will contract it. Egypt took 1.4 million tons in September, good for them. And you barter us coral fish and pyramids. Let’s give everyone a pharaoh in the barn, but not in the hall to put this junk. Even if it’s a souvenir. Or a magnet, without the pharaoh. That’s also an option.

USD/RUB:

“Give us 50% odds!” we wrote last week. Yes, it was not a joke at all, there are some probabilities in this gloomy direction, but one should not take everything so literally. The ruble has been weakening 1% a day all week against the backdrop of the militaristic budget, which brings to mind the continuation of inflation and the Central Bank’s struggle with the growing ruble mass, which has nowhere to go. There is a lot of money — not enough goods. In fact, we will reach the rate of 50%.

In the meantime, we have a 20% rate on the table. This is a very bad level, an indicator, if you like. If the Central Bank rate in your country is 20%, it means that inflation is rising and things are not very good. And already in the next act of the play, the ship may tilt very badly on one side. A little more and stagflation, and then… then there is a real risk of hyperinflation as in Argentina or Turkey.

We are likely to stand at 96.00 for some time, but this level is likely to be overcome. We are going to 100.00 on dollar/ruble pair. Further we will try to pass to 104 rubles per 1 dollar.

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. During the past week the difference between long and short positions of asset managers grew by 21.3 th. contracts. Buyers entered the market, sellers left it in approximately equal volumes. Bulls regained their control over the market.

Growth scenario: moved to December futures, expiration date October 31. Buying in this situation is not interesting. We need a pullback down.

Downside scenario: came out of the falling channel upwards. Out of the market.

Purchase: no.

Sale: no.

Support — 75.01. Resistance — 79.91.

At the moment there are more open short positions of asset managers than long ones. Over the past week the difference between long and short positions of asset managers decreased by 68.2 thousand contracts. The change is significant. Buyers entered the market, but the main thing is that sellers left the market en masse. Bears are still controlling the situation.

Рисунок 10

RTSI. MOEX

Growth scenario: we consider December futures, expiration date December 19. We will buy when approaching 90600. Failure under 90600 will lead to panic dumping of shares.

Recommendations on the RTS index:

Purchase: when approaching 90600. Stop: 90300. Target: 105000.
