Technical Outlook

The positive outlook in prices may continue as the ongoing supply gap likely to be widened as some of the OPEC members is still unable to raise output to the agreed levels. This may worsen the demand-supply dynamics when demand starts to really recover and exceed pre-pandemic levels. However, output from the U.S, the world’s largest oil producer if picks up steam again that likely to limit major gains in prices.

NYMEX Oct: Though the bullish outlook remains on the cards, a direct break above $77 is required to extend the momentum. Immediate trend reversal point is placed at $69.

MCX Oct: Inability to break the immediate resistance of Rs 5700 expect choppy trading initially. A direct break above the same would attract further bulls in the counter.
