Oil supported by surging stock markets, Saudi view on cut deal exit; US inventory data eyed. Oil prices are currently drawing support from the rise in US equities. Today, attention will also fall on new Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony, with the dollar likely to reemerge as the key driver for oil as a result. An expected US crude stock build and possible dollar strengthening on hawkish comments from Powell are likely to pressure Brent back within the $66-67/bbl range today, in our view.
Gold prices range-bound ahead of Powell’s testimony. We think Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is more likely to be interpreted as hawkish than dovish in his testimony before Congress today. This would support the dollar, pressuring gold, which we expect to slide to a $1,320-1,330/oz range later today.
