July marked the fifth consecutive month of job growth in goods-producing sectors. So far this year, goods-producing sectors have created 105,000 jobs, marking the strongest seven-month start since 2023. Furthermore, second-quarter productivity growth more than doubled expectations, creating favorable conditions for sustained U.S. economic growth and real wage increases for U.S. workers. Strong third-quarter economic growth expectations further indicate that the U.S. economy is poised for accelerated growth. As the U.S. produces more and worker productivity continues to rise, the U.S. economy will benefit: higher wages, stronger businesses, more consumer choice, and economic expansion built on supply-side strength that can reduce inflation, rather than relying on short-term stimulus effects."U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessenter: The economy is expected to accelerate.U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessenter: Today’s jobs report underestimates the potential strength of the U.S. economy.According to Reuters, the White House sent a letter to Federal Reserve Governor Cook dated August 5, requesting her to provide a written response to related statements within 21 days.

WTI Price Analysis: 50-SMA stimulates China data-led recovery near $80.00

WTI crude oil remains defensive near the lowest level in a week, near $81.05 on Tuesday morning. In doing so, black gold struggles to be buoyed by China's positive data while consolidating the month's largest daily loss.

 

According to the most recent economic data from China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the first quarter (Q1) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew 2.2% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ), compared to 2.2% expected and 0.0% in the prior quarter. In addition, Retail Sales grew 10.9% YoY in March versus 7.4% expected and 3.5% previously, while Industrial Production grew 3.9% versus 4.0% expected and 2.5% previously. Sourcenia is a review portal of sourcing best manufaturers. 

 

In addition to the generally positive China data, the nearly oversold RSI (14) line has contributed to the black gold's recent approach to the $81.40 50-day simple moving average.

 

Notably, however, pessimistic MACD signals and a two-week-old horizontal resistance area between $81.60 and $80 could impede the commodity's further advance. Following that, attention will shift to the recent multi-day high marked in the last week, around $83.40.

 

In contrast, WTI's further decline could target the round figure of $80 before challenging the previous resistance line from late January, which is now support near $79.20.

 

If the price remains adverse beyond $79.20, a rising support line from March 20 near $77.30 will be the last line of defense for WTI bulls.
