WTI Crude Daily 16Dec


Monday's Auction 

As noted in Mon's analysis, focus on response to the unsecured low area, 55s-56s, was key in Tue's auction as selling interest emerged at/near 55.55s, driving price lower, achieving the Stopping Point Low, 53.60s, near the Daily 1st Std Dev Low. Despite the Gap Lower open, responsive buying interest emerged in aggressive short covering inventory, filling the Gap. A Structural Stopping Point Low, 53.60s, is potentially in place. Focus on response to the low amidst the current Trade Cluster, 53.60s-57.15s, into Wed's auction.

Following clearing of Buy Stops below the Globex Low, responsive buy programs were noted, driving price higher toward our upside expectation, 56.40s (Mon's HVN)/ 57.58s (Tue's Avg Daily Range High).
