Crude Oil Higher on Light Short Covering and Consolidation

Crude oil was steady to slightly higher due to light short covering overnight as it consolidates some of last week's decline. Stochastics and the RSI are oversold but remain neutral to bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near term.

If August extends the decline, the 50% retracement level of the February-June rally crossing at 58.58 is the next downside target. Closes above the 20 day moving average crossing at 67.00 are needed to confirm that a short term low has been posted.

Monday's pivot point for crude oil, our line in the sand is 59.83

First resistance is the 10 day moving average crossing at 63.89
Second resistance is the 20 day moving average crossing at 67.00

First support is last Friday's low crossing at 58.72
Second support is the 50% retracement level crossing at 58.58

Crude oil is based on and priced on the amount of sulfur that's
in the oil. It makes it easier or harder to refine base on the
amount of sulfur. WTI being the lightest and sweetest, is the
highest priced crude oil in the marketplace.

It is a benchmark delivered in Cushing, Oklahoma.

In benchmarks for crude oil and global pricing of crude oil, WTI
probably prices about 50% of the global pricing of crude oil.
Brent being basically the other pricing benchmark. There's two
out there, Brent being a little of a mixture of three different
grades of crude oil; BF&O, Brent 40 and Ossenberg. They're
all produced in the North Sea.

China's oil companies, buoyed by the country's foreign exchange reserves that now top $2 trillion for the first time, are on another buying spree in Africa, further challenging the century long domination of the continent's mineral wealth by Europe's great powers.
