The energy sector is set for a higher start supported by strength in the underlying commodities despite weakness in U.S equities. The major market futures are down as tech-driven optimism eased and as a rise in oil prices has increased existing concerns of a further rise in global inflation.
WTI and Brent crude oil are up in early trading on the easing of China’s COVID-19 restrictions and a possible strike by Norwegian oil workers. Oil futures are extending their upward trend despite economic data showing builds for crude and oil products as traders expect oil demand to pick up following China’s decision to end its COVID-19 related lockdowns. The API report showed U.S crude, gasoline and distillate inventories rose for the week ending June 3rd, which was largely ignored by the markets. Additionally, Norwegian oil workers plan to strike from June 12 if state-brokered wage meditation fails, potentially putting crude output at risk of shutdown. However, the Chief of the Lederne labor union says gas may not be affected as they will try to avoid hurting gas production, pointing out supply issues created by the war in Eastern Europe.
Natural gas futures have edged up this morning on a decline in output and forecasts for warmer weather and higher demand than previously expected.
