Oil Rallies Off Russian Oil Ban

31 maj 2022Oil has rallied significantly off news that the EU is planning to ban Russian imports of oil, despite the fact that Russia supplies 27% of the EU's oil and 40% of its gas. Crude oil prices soared off this news and we were able to smash through a relative high at $116. This was our target from earlier. Recall that last week, we noted oil's relative strength and set a target at $116. It is difficult to find justification for a signficant retracement, but a technical pull back should find support at $116 or $113. Our next target is $122, which would be signficant as this is a relative high.
