Liquidity’s Daily Market Overview
Energy Market Update
Energy markets strengthened overnight as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continued to support risk premiums across crude oil and refined products. Crude oil is trading higher for a third consecutive session as traders reassess the likelihood of a near-term peace agreement between the United States and Iran following renewed military exchanges. While diplomatic discussions remain ongoing, uncertainty surrounding the conflict and the security of key energy shipping routes continues to underpin prices.
LNG exporters Qatar and the UAE continue to take extraordinary measures to move cargoes through the region as shipping risks persist. Market participants remain concerned that any prolonged disruption to tanker traffic could tighten global crude oil, refined product, and LNG supplies. Several analysts have noted that current prices may not fully reflect the potential impact of an extended disruption to Middle East energy flows.
Crude oil futures are trading sharply higher this morning, with WTI gaining more than 2% overnight as concerns over supply security offset optimism surrounding diplomatic efforts. The recent rally has also contributed to higher Treasury yields and broader inflation concerns, as rising energy prices could complicate the outlook for central bank policy. Refined products have moved higher alongside crude as traders continue to monitor the potential impact on global fuel supplies.
Despite occasional headlines suggesting progress toward a ceasefire or broader regional agreement, energy markets remain highly sensitive to developments in the Middle East. Until there is greater clarity on both diplomatic negotiations and shipping conditions through the Strait of Hormuz, volatility is likely to remain elevated across the energy complex.
Crude (CLN6)
Crude is opening the U.S. session up 3.12 at 96.84. The rally has pushed prices above the 20-day moving average for the first time since May 21 and has also moved decisively above the 50-day moving average, a level the market has been consolidating around for much of the past week.
Momentum indicators have crossed higher and continue to strengthen while remaining in oversold territory, suggesting that the recent recovery may still have room to extend as momentum normalizes.
Key Resistance Levels
98.01 – 61.8% Fibonacci retracement
104.39 – Upper Bollinger Band
Key Support Levels
95.77 – 20-day moving average
91.71 – 50-day moving average
85.87 – Lower Bollinger Band
The breakout above both key moving averages is a constructive technical development and shifts the near-term bias to the upside. A move through the 98.01 Fibonacci level would strengthen the case for a continued advance toward the upper Bollinger Band at 104.39. On the downside, pullbacks are likely to find support near the 20-day moving average as momentum continues to improve from oversold conditions.
Crude (CLN6)
Heating Oil (HON6):
Heating oil is also opening the U.S. session higher, trading at 3.8374. During the overnight session, prices rallied through the 20-day moving average, extending the recovery from last week's lows. The overnight high of 3.8782 pushed slightly above the key 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at 3.8375 before the market pulled back and began consolidating near that resistance area.
Momentum indicators have crossed higher from oversold territory and continue to strengthen, suggesting the market may have additional room to advance as momentum normalizes.
Key Resistance Levels
4.0593 – Upper Bollinger Band
4.0791 – Mid-May high
Key Support Levels
3.7510 – 20-day moving average
3.6437 – 50-day moving average
The ability to hold above the 20-day moving average following the overnight breakout will be an important test for the bulls. A sustained move above the 3.8375 Fibonacci level would strengthen the case for a rally toward the upper Bollinger Band at 4.0593 and potentially the mid-May high at 4.0791. With momentum turning higher from oversold levels, pullbacks are likely to find support near the moving averages.
Heating Oil (HON6)
Crude Spread (CLZ6/CLZ7)
The spread is opening the U.S. session up 0.80 at 8.14. After trading to an intraday high of 8.37, the spread has pulled back modestly and is currently trading near the 20-day moving average. The rally once again stalled just below the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the decline from the May 18 high to last week's low, reinforcing that area as a key resistance zone.
Momentum indicators remain in oversold territory but have crossed higher and continue to trend upward, suggesting the spread may have additional room to recover as momentum normalizes.
Key Resistance Levels
8.41 – 50% Fibonacci retracement and double-top resistance
9.01 – 61.8% Fibonacci retracement
10.51 – Upper Bollinger Band
Key Support Levels
6.69 – 50-day moving average
6.00 – Last week's low
5.52 – Lower Bollinger Band
The 8.41 area remains the critical level to watch. A breakout above this double-top resistance would confirm improving price momentum and open the door for a test of the 9.01 Fibonacci retracement. With momentum turning higher from oversold levels, pullbacks are likely to find support near the 50-day moving average as the recovery continues to develop.
Natural Gas Market Overview
Natural Gas (NGN6)
Natural gas is opening the U.S. session up 0.06 at 3.22. Overnight trading pushed prices to a high of 3.25 before the market eased back toward yesterday's high, where it is currently consolidating. Despite the pullback from overnight highs, the market continues to hold near recent highs and remains in a constructive technical position.
Momentum indicators remain elevated but have not yet reached overbought territory, suggesting there may still be room for additional upside before the market becomes technically stretched.
Key Resistance Levels
3.31 – Upper Bollinger Band
3.39 – Monday's reversal bar high
Key Support Levels
3.12 – 20-day moving average
2.94 – Lower Bollinger Band
The market continues to consolidate following Monday's reversal signal. A move above the upper Bollinger Band at 3.31 would put the focus on Monday's high at 3.39. On the downside, the 20-day moving average at 3.12 represents the first key support level, while the lower Bollinger Band at 2.94 marks a more significant support area. With momentum remaining elevated but not yet overbought, the near-term bias remains constructive as long as prices continue to hold above the 20-day moving average.
