“Looking for a new trading range of $45-$50 in Brent Crude”, says Craig Erlam, as he joins the Tip TV Finance Show to offer insights on Oil, USD/CAD and Silver. Interviewed by Zak Mir, Technical Analyst at Zak’s Traders Cafe.

Highlights:

“OIL - Production freeze won’t address the problem of oversupply, given Saudi, Russia are pumping at record highs”

“OIL - Unlikely to be a cut or freeze in September. Same old language.. we stand ready to act if required”

“USD/CAD – 1.30 hasn’t been put to test yet. Breach of 1.30 would be a bullish signal. Rejection at 1.30 would be strong bearish signal”

“Silver – Double top neckline breached.. neckline at 19.20 now strong hurdle.. we could go back to 18.20 levels”

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish January’s Consumer Price Index data on Friday, delayed by the brief and partial United States government shutdown. The report is expected to show that inflationary pressures eased modestly but also remained above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.
