• OIL.WTI atakuje 40$
  Volatílny rok pre ceny ropy! Po masívnych výpredajoch na trhu s ropou v apríli došlo k výraznému oživeniu, pričom cena ropy OIL.WTI testovala prvýkrát za 3 mesiace úroveň 40 dolárov. Ceny ropy teda od apríla zaznamenali nárast o viac ako 100% iba za 5 týždňov! Bude táto rally pokračovať? OPEC + práve predĺžil škrty o ďalší mesiac a investori veria, že oživenie ekonomiky zvýši dopyt po rope. Na druhej strane, americká produkcia by mala rásť s cenami blízkymi súčasnej úrovni. Napriek tomu je tento trend výrazný a neexistujú žiadne jasné známky zvratu - aspoň ešte nie teraz.

Ceny ropy jsou dnes nižší kvůli dalším slabým makrodatům z čínské ekonomiky. Dovoz v Číně v srpnu poklesl o 7,3 % r/r oproti 9 % očekávání analytika Reuteres, ale za 8 měsíců 2023 byl ale dovoz komodity o 14,7 % r/r vyšší oproti 12,5 % r/r v červenci. Čínská ekonomika je největším dovozcem ropy na světě, takže pro poptávku po ropě jsou klíčová makrodata a pocity ohledně budoucích makro podmínek v této zemi, stejně jako pro politiku OPEC+.
