Speaking after the G20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting, Ueda said the BOJ would, as always, have a thorough discussion on monetary policy at its next meeting. Ueda declined to comment on the markets strong expectations for a September rate hike. However, he stated that recent economic data was consistent with the BOJs previous outlook. This key statement suggests that the BOJ is proceeding with its planned further rate hike. The BOJ has previously indicated that future policy discussions will focus on the risks of rising prices.

Weekly Technical Analysis of WTI Crude Oil

The West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil market originally retreated somewhat throughout the trading week, but found enough support beneath to reverse course and surge upward. Thus, the market has rebounded rather nicely, implying that perhaps oil is not quite ready to collapse after all. We broke over the previous week's lengthy neutral candle, indicating that buyers have moved in to maintain pressure. At this time, crude appears to be heading towards the $115 level. Subsequently, it appears as though the $93.50 level is providing strong support.

Weekly Technical Analysis of Brent Crude Oil

Brent markets have also demonstrated considerable support, breaching over the $111 level at the week's finish. At this time, it appears as though we will threaten the highs once more, as we are on the verge of a complete reversal. It appeared as though we were about to break down, but the market was spared by the critical uptrend line. Generally speaking, this is a market that appears to be attempting to reach the $120 level.

 

Short-term pullbacks should continue to offer buying chances as long as we maintain a price over $100, and thus it is likely that the trend has fully redeemed itself. With that in mind, the market is likely to see buyers reenter, and as a result, I am not interested in selling till we break below the $95 level. If we break below that level, it is likely that we will head straight for the $90 level.
