Crude Oil Spotlight March 25, 2024.

The oil market is consolidating. There is strong resistance at $84 for WTI and $89 for Brent.
The stories traders are following:
Ceasefire talks appear to have stalled again despite pressure from the USA and Secretary Blinken’s visit to the Middle East. Now we need to wait and see if progress can be made later on. Neutral
Ukraine has hit 7 Refineries deep in Russia this month alone. Russian exports of Diesel/Gasoline have been affected by about 300 KBD, but Crude exports have increased by about 260.000 bpd due to lack of refining capacity. Bullish
Meanwhile, the USA is putting pressure on Ukraine to halt attacks on Russian refineries as the US is concerned about higher oil prices and potential Russian retaliation on Western energy structures. Potentially bearish if Ukraine follows USA advice.
Iraq promised Saudi Arabia to cut crude exports by 130 KBD to comply with OPEC cuts. Negotiations to reopen the Kurdistan 450 KBD pipeline to Turkey are off the agenda as Iraq prioritizes meeting its OPEC obligation. Bullish
China stated it would treat all foreign investment equally to domestic companies. Foreign investment in China was down 20% in 2024, and China is promising stimulus to reverse this trend. Bullish
Chinese oil stocks are low and may build over the next few months - oil demand has softened, now just below 16 mill bd. Bearish
Overall, the market is consolidating with limited upside as we enter shoulder season and OPEC spare capacity of about 5 mill bpd. Oil at sea keeps building. Bearish
Here is what to watch going forward:
IMF encourages China to focus on reinventing its property dependent model and find a solution.
Could China be turning a corner? The government is now promising equal treatment for foreign capital.
The PBOC stepped into the FX market to strengthen Yuan after Friday’s sell-off.
European refining margins remain strong and should stay supported in the months ahead.
EU turnarounds will begin in April.
USA rig count down 1 on the week.
Spring is normally a weak seasonal period for oil prices.
International pressure on Israel is increasing for a ceasefire.
Key drivers this week: will Ukraine halt drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure? Are we seeing green shoots in China?

Hail Impact on Solar Panels

https://x.com/roughneck2real/status/1772339177264148491?s=46

This tweet went a little bit viral today showing the hail damage to solar panels. Do you think this is a legitimate risk to solar farms? How durable are these panels?
