The total number of oil rigs in the United States for the week ending September 11 will be released in ten minutes.The total number of oil rigs in the United States for the week ending September 11 will be released in ten minutes.September 12 (Reuters) - The White House is exploring the use of the Defense Production Act to expand U.S. refining capacity as the U.S.-Iran conflict exposes the vulnerability of the U.S. to global oil supply disruptions and soaring prices. The proposal was recently discussed in a meeting between Trump and nearly 12 U.S. refiners, but no final decision has been made. Refining executives told the government that federal funds are better suited for improving the efficiency of existing refineries or expanding existing facilities, rather than building new, more expensive, and time-consuming refineries. Latest data shows that U.S. refinery utilization is at 98%, nearing full capacity. The national average price of diesel has surpassed $6 per gallon for the first time, and gasoline prices remain high. The White House stated that expanding refining capacity is a priority for Trump and his energy team, and they are currently evaluating specific options such as regulatory reform, expedited approvals, and increased investment.According to Saudi media Alhadath: Sources say that Houthi forces in Yemen were subjected to heavy artillery fire in the Zubab region.On September 12th, CNN, citing two US officials, reported that Saudi Arabias crucial East-West oil pipeline system was attacked by projectiles on Thursday. Preliminary analysis indicates that pumping stations adjacent to the pipeline were hit; satellite images show one pumping station severely damaged by a fire, while another experienced a smaller fire and emitted thick smoke. It is currently unclear who was responsible for the attack, whether the pipeline itself was damaged, and the time required for repairs. A US official stated that the drone that carried out the attack originated from Iraq. The East-West oil pipeline has become increasingly important since the outbreak of the Iraq War. Due to Irans de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia has diverted approximately 5 million barrels per day of crude oil originally destined for the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea port of Yanbu via this pipeline. Meanwhile, the Houthi rebels have declared their intention to strike any Saudi vessels attempting to pass through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, putting this alternative oil export route at risk.

The USD/CHF pair has gone sideways after exhibiting volatile volatility on Monday. The asset will likely trade sideways until volatility decreases since it hits resistance at 0.9780. As a result of failing to exceed the crucial resistance level of 0.09000, the asset saw a substantial fall.

 

A major negative reversal was foreseen by the formation of the Double Top chart pattern when the price failed to maintain its position above Tuesday's high at 0.9859. The aforementioned chart pattern frequently indicates waning demand at high levels. A negative reversal is now more likely as a result of the development of a selling tail around high levels.

 

Following the formation of a double top, the asset is forming an initiative selling structure, which points to the entry of those investors who start short positions after a bearish bias has been created. At 0.9767, the major is forming an initiative structure inside the 200-Exponential Moving Average (EMA) border, demonstrating that market participants are respecting the significant EMA.

 

However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14), which signals an oncoming consolidation, has shifted into a range between 40.00 and 60.00. The asset will reach the July 5 top of 0.9705 with a sharp decrease below the July 13 low of 0.9758. If the latter barrier is breached, the asset will be more vulnerable to losses up to the 1. July high of 0.9642.

 

Alternatively, following Wednesday's violation of the 0.9827 high, the dollar bulls may defend the double top pattern. The asset will be propelled by this to its top on Thursday of 0.9886 and then encounter psychological resistance at 1.0000.
