Crude Oil touched high of $48.82 on 9-Mar-2009, completing our previous target of $47-49 –returning nearly 30% in less than a month’s time! Previous report: - http://tanmaygopal.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Current price is not acceptable to OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries), indicated by them time and again, but given recessionary situation, they seem to be taking only small steps so far.
Events to watch –
- OPEC in its meeting on Sunday, 15 March, 2009 may cut its 2009 demand forecast, which has been a positive trigger for Crude.
- OPEC is scheduled to release its latest Monthly Oil Market Report on 13 March. Its demand estimate is a key to the OPEC oil ministers’ decision on how much oil to pump.
Stocks that can become active- CAIRN, Reliance, MRPL, Chennai Petro, Bongaigao Refineries are beneficiaries of higher crude prices and if Crude can rally towards $60, these companies can outperform the indices.
