WTI Explodes Higher, Brent Unchanged As Algos Reminisce
It is deja vu all over again - just as it did last week - after dumping into Monday open, the machines ramp WTI (on no news and certainly not on the back of any data which was all abysmal).
Behold a "market" controlled by lasers (chart courtesy of nanex)

Yup, let's have algos trade paper representations of a commodity that every single person in this country depends on for just about everything. Smart. Real smart.
Or........... View it as a trader does ... Long downtrend, consolidation pattern = low risk sideways trading oppotunity and make some money from it yourself
Watch palladium.
Also watch USD / JPY "Clearance of 120"
The rally is a function of the Genscape data number.( analysis stock flows by monitoring all pipelines and storage tanks using lasers) it showed 1.3 mm buikd in cushing instead of the 2.4 mm build expected. Spread traders getting out.
Sell April June right here at -3.33 10 times make $10 k by end of week.
As mentioned below, the rally was a function of data. Genscape professional traders get an early read on the DOE at cushing less bearish number. Not everything is a conspriacy, see where the market settles.
I would expect we could see April crude below its lows of last night, after spread shorts cover.

The whole Syria proxy war is dirty. Serena Shim had proof and they killed her.
New Anonymous op as White House still ignores murder of American reporter Serena Shim in Turkey
Turkey has an historical record as a dangerous place to practice real journalism.
RIP
this is a new central bank trick - divergence of same commodity
gas goes up, oil goes down
cattle go up, hogs go down
housing stocks go up, new home builds go down
but this one really works the best; oil goes up, oil goes down

Squeeze plays and high vol have always been part of distressed situations. I wonder which one of their clients Goldman is raking over the coals this morning.
Storage about full. The phyiscal market price is soon to collapse into the 10s.
Putin says he can survive 2-3 years at $10 / oil. Looks like the (physical) markets will call his bluff.
The phyiscal market price is soon to collapse into the 10s.
Is that fact or your opinion - Just asking, no particular reason
Storage is nowhere near full and won't get close to it, you don't know what you are talking about.
"Storage" remains under ground for the most part. Off any grid.
Putin also says "he doesn't want war and isn't supplying any arms to the rebels in Ukraine"
"Thus it is said, Thus it is so."
Just testing the new NYSE lasers.....seem to work okay...
If a trading firm or an independent trader is not ARMED properly with the latest hardware and the latest geeks , he/she is a fool for trying to compete in the CL futiures market. The very success of the NYMEX contract is what led the people who used to control prices to take the necessary steps - incrementally - to eliminate the power of the NYMEX floor to influence prices - fewer hands = greater control and less competition , a la The Federal Reserve System.
Genscapes report on Cushing showing slower production. Algos went for it. Problem is total supply is still rising substantially as people are leasing mothballed tankers to hold the crude ( see spike in HARPEX).
