WTI and Brent weekly chart

No celebrations in the oil patch

WTI and Brent weekly chart showing the break below 55 for WTI and 60 for Brent.

WTI and Brent weekly chart showing the intermediate downtrend. WTI could not hold above 55 for the year-end. Brent could not hold above 60. One can only conclude that the price of both grades is going lower unless there is a significant geopolitical event.

Reference my post from November 28, 2014: Barring a major supply disruption, Brent is heading lower

TSX sector performance for the past 6 days

Energy sector leading the pack

TSX sector performance over the last 6 days.  Energy sector leading the pack.

Reference the last sector performance for the Canadian market based on the ytd numbers. If I use the word “oversold” for energy then this is the reason for the year-end pop. But oil is still searching for a bottom and the smaller players will not participate in this rally. That advance will have to wait for more clarity on the direction for oil as WTI attempts to hold $55 and Brent attempts to hold $60.
