Crude Oil Futures ( CL1! ), H4 Potential for Bearish DropTitle: Crude Oil Futures ( CL1! ), H4 Potential for Bearish Drop Type: Bearish Drop Resistance: 90.671 Pivot: 86.655 Support: 81.047 Preferred case: Looking at the H4 chart, my overall bias for CL1! is bearish due to the current price crossing the Ichimoku cloud, indicating a bearish market. If this bullish momentum continues, expect the price to continue heading toward the support at 81.047, where the 23.6% Fibonacci line is. Alternative scenario: Price may head up to the resistance at 90.671, where the 61.8% Fibonacci line is. Fundamentals: There are no major news.

BCO AND WTI SHORT TARGET READ BELOWSurging Oil Prices Could Spark A Global Recession Federal Bank of Dallas economists warn that a global economic downturn may be unavoidable if a large of Russian energy exports remain off the market throughout the year. Billionaire investor Carl Icahn also warned that there could be a recession amid the surging inflation So far, the EU found sufficient support for an all-out oil & gas embargo against Russia. WTI IF 108;20BROKEN WECAN SEE107 AND SOON 98;87 AGAIN BCO SHORTOLDAT 121;95 AND 121,17 first target 114,78 2nd target 108,85 3rd target 102 The already month-long Russian war in Ukraine has upended analyst outlooks of the global economy this year. Forecasts quickly shifted from a robust post-COVID rebound to rising chances of a full-blown global recession due to spiking energy prices, broken supply chains, and tight global oil supplies. Economists, analysts, and famed investors say the odds of a recession have been rising, considering the runaway inflation, which the Fed and other central banks have already started to try to curb with interest rate hikes. Despite the fact that recession is not the base-case scenario of most economists, the odds of a downturn are growing, they say, especially if more Russian energy exports come off the market in the coming weeks and months. The European Union and its largest economy, Germany, have been reluctant so far to ban imports of Russian energy or impose sanctions on Russian oil and gas exports, considering that Europe depends on Russia for more than one-fourth of its oil supply and one-third of its natural gas supply. The sanctions are working, and Germany will end its dependence on Russian oil and gas as quickly as it is practically possible, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in the German Parliament on Wednesday. Still, an overnight unplugging from Russian energy would mean a deep recession across all of Europe, putting entire industries in jeopardy, and allowing hundreds of thousands of job losses, he added. The foreign ministers of the EU member states failed to come to an agreement about whether to punish Putin with an oil embargo earlier this week. In the worst-case scenario of the Russian war in Ukraine with severe, escalating disruption with moderate policy response, and in a situation in which oil and gas exports from Russia to Europe are shut down, Brent prices would jump to $150 per barrel, analysts at McKinsey & Company said last week. In this worst-case scenario, shaken confidence and continued high prices for oil would reduce spending by consumers and businesses in the United States, and a recession would ensue, McKinsey noted. “In the United States, the key issue will be how the Federal Reserve Board reacts to the impact of the spike in oil prices and to the jump in agricultural, mining, and mineral commodity prices (US natural-gas prices are largely independent of Europe),” the consultancy’s analysts wrote. Should a large part of Russia’s energy exports remain off the market throughout this year, a global economic downturn seems unavoidable, Lutz Kilian and Michael D. Plante, economists from the Research Department at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, wrote in an analysis this week. The analysis also warned that this slowdown could be more protracted than the 1991 recession following the oil supply shock from Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990. “Every recession in the past 50 years has been preceded by an oil price spike, and it is déjà vu all over again,” Chris Lafakis, Director at Moody’s Analytics, wrote in a report last week. This week, billionaire investor Carl Icahn also warned that there could be a recession amid the surging inflation. “I think there very well could be a recession or even worse,” Icahn told CNBC on Tuesday. “I am negative as you can hear. Short term I don’t even predict,” he said. Soaring inflation and the high uncertainty about the global economy with the Russian war in Ukraine could threaten economic growth, Icahn said. “I really don’t know if they can engineer a soft landing,” Icahn said. “I think there is going to be a rough landing... Inflation is a terrible thing when it gets going,” the investor noted. The Beginning Of The End Of Globalization The global pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Western sanctions that followed have sparked a new debate on the future of globalization as we know it. In Q2 2020, at the dramatic start of the pandemic, global trade was down 18.5%, compared to the same period the previous year. “Rather than the cheapest, easiest and greenest sources, there’ll probably be more of a premium on the safest and surest.” There is an eternal debate among various experts as to when globalization actually started; whether it was with the Silk Road, the Vikings, Columbus's voyage, or even before then, with the earliest human migratory routes. Now, it’s no longer relevant when it started. Instead, the new question is whether Russian President Vladimir Putin will end it. Russia’s war on Ukraine and the Western sanctions that necessarily followed, could have a lasting impact on globalization, a process that regardless of when the first seeds were planted, really became entrenched a few decades ago. Globalization was under attack on some level prior to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Most significantly, the global pandemic let us all see very clearly the vulnerabilities, especially with supply chains and our dependence on their global nature. Now, everyone is desperately calling for “independence”, whether it is of energy or other resources. In Q2 2020, at the dramatic start of the pandemic, global trade was down 18.5%, compared to the same period the previous year. Since then, the global economy has started to recover, only to be hit again by a war on the European continent–a war that could shake the balance of power. Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, thinks we are now seeing the beginning of the end of globalization. In a letter to shareholders, Fink wrote that Russia's "decoupling from the global economy" following its assault on Ukraine has caused governments and companies to examine their reliance on other nations. "The Russian invasion of Ukraine has put an end to the globalization we have experienced over the last three decades," Fink wrote. For its part, BlackRock, which oversees more than $10 trillion, has already suspended the purchase of any Russian securities in its active or index portfolios. Oaktree Capital Management founder Howard Marks shares Fink’s opinion, even if his take is less dramatic. He is warning investors that countries are going to start a major push to return to localized sourcing. “Rather than the cheapest, easiest and greenest sources, there’ll probably be more of a premium on the safest and surest,” Marks said. St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard seems something similar. The direct macroeconomic effects on the US economy from Russia's invasion are not that large, Bullard says, but “Russia's war will mean less globalization, more fragmentation around the world.”
