WTI Crude Daily 13Mar



Thursday's Auction

As noted in Thu's analysis, focus on response to 46.80s-47.15s into Fri's auction was key as initiative sell programs drove price below Key Support, developing a Gap Lower open, ultimately driving price lower toward the Daily 1st Std Dev Low as Apr-May contract roll developed. Focus on response to 44.80s-45.40s, into Mon's auction.
