Commodities Daily - February 14, 2018

Oil pressured following IEA monthly report and API inventory data. We think today’s EIA data, due at 18:30 Moscow time, will have a negative impact on prices. We expect an increase in crude inventories of around 2 mln bbl on lower refinery inputs and surging oil production. The refined product data will likely complement the bearish development in crude stockpiles, thanks to weaker demand. As a result, we expect Brent to end the day within the $61.5-62.0/bbl range.
Gold up on weaker dollar and Treasury yields; US CPI eyed. A higher than expected inflation reading today could lead to a sharp rise in the greenback and a slide in gold prices. Our FX team believes that as long as CPI does not surprise to the upside, EUR/USD will likely test the 1.24 level (up from 1.237 currently), which we think would result in gold’s testing the $1,340/oz mark later in the day.
