How Fed Rate Hikes Should Impact Oil Prices

oil prices
Are you wondering how Fed rate hikes might impact oil prices? In isolation, monetary tightening should be a threat to oil prices for two key reasons. However, it is important to note that the market for oil is global in nature with many more factors at play, and so we should be careful to not oversimplify the matter. Nevertheless, tightening monetary policy can serve to strengthen the U.S. dollar, and a stronger dollar buys more oil per dollar. The other key impact Fed rate hikes can have on oil is due to the drag higher rates bring to the economy by raising the cost of capital. The result of any drag on an economy is a likely commensurate drag on energy demand, unless robust economic growth justifies tightening. Now, the manner in which the Fed is currently going about raising interest rates, gradually, should have limited impact and could be justified by economic growth and price inflation. Also the energy market is global in nature, and therefore, the impact of the Fed is diluted. See the whole story here: How Fed Rate Hikes Could Impact Oil Prices.

The Fortunes of Gold Must Change as the Fed Turns

gold
As the Fed turns, or as perception of the Federal Reserve’s plans for this year change, so should gold’s fortunes. Gold has benefited significantly this year from a shift of expectations for the Fed. It is my expectation that those perceptions will turn again, but in a fashion that is detrimental to gold this time. See the whole story here, The Fortunes of Gold Change as the Fed Turns.

The State of Housing in America

housing in America
When February’s Existing Home Sales were reported last month, I proposed that the very disappointing result was likely anomalous. Given various bits of evidence and my experience and familiarity with the phenomenon, I thought the significant stock market turbulence and decline to start the year caused a negative feedback loop that stalled consumer spending in February, especially for major purchases like homes. Well, March’s Existing Home Sales data was reported last week, and it produced a much improved result. Given the level of fear that pervaded through financial markets this past winter, I believe it is probable that the stock market’s strong recovery this spring is serving to reinvigorate consumer spending now. Most importantly, for the whole of 2016, we expect housing to continue to expand and sales to continue to increase for a multitude of reasons. See the whole story at The True State of Housing in America.

A Warning to Stock Investors (Part I)

warning
I know it doesn’t feel right, with the Dow breaking through 18,000 this week and oil prices stalwartly holding, but I think it would be wise to tread cautiously here. Stocks have a variety of factors in play, some more important than others. With this report, I want to discuss one important fundamental support that I believe is cracking. Oil price conviction could be tested near-term. The failure of petroleum producers to coordinate a production freeze threatens to morph into a greater battle for market share that includes increased production. Also, I expect the European economy to deteriorate due to extraordinary costs upon it now, and that to pressure oil prices as well. If the support of stable to rising oil prices is removed from under stocks, old concerns about lender risk and economic impact should come back into U.S. investor focus. History has shown us that such a focus is not good for stocks. See the full story at A Stark Warning to Stock Investors (Part I).

Oil Gains are Ignorant – Saudi Arabia Means Business

oil prices
Oil prices are rising in ignorance. Ignoring recent statements and the actions of Saudi Arabia is probably foolish. I believe Saudi Arabia means business with regard to its defense of market share and its interest in limiting the progression of its rival to the north, Iran. As a result, recent market enthusiasm about the possibility of a supply curb via a production freeze could quickly be replaced by fear of the impact of a production increase from Saudi Arabia and others. Oil prices should correct on that eventual announcement and on other actions by Saudi Arabia as it defends market share and its place in the Middle East. See the full story via my report Oil Ignorance - Saudi Arabia Means Business.

Oil Prices - Doha Disaster Means the Ruse is Up

government ignorance
Expect oil prices to take a big hit Monday, as the highly anticipated oil producers’ meeting in Doha fell short of the high hopes priced into oil for it. Energy ministers disbanded Sunday without a formal production freeze in place, as Saudi Arabia and Iran jostled for their national interests and market share. Crude prices started to express trepidation heading into Sunday’s highly anticipated oil producers’ meeting in Doha, Qatar. Various rumblings and rumors raised doubt about the meeting’s hopeful prospect of a formal oil freeze agreement. The worst case scenario played out and oil prices are likely to fall further as a result. See the full story at Doha Disaster - The Oil Ruse is Up.

Storm Gathering Over Gold

Gambia
Gold prices dropped on Wednesday on a strengthening dollar. The greenback is not gaining yet on the big catalyst I have been looking toward, European economic softening, but rather on better economic news from China. Give Europe a chance though, as the eurozone outlook is seeing important downgrades since I issued my own warning. Eurozone decline plus China recovery would work in the dollar’s favor in a big way, and that works against gold prices. It feels like a perfect storm is gathering over gold. See the full story here at The Perfect Storm Gathering Over Gold.
