Oil Price Spikes As Iran Attacks Israel

Crude oil prices jumped and stocks tumbled about two weeks ago after Iran fired an estimated 180 missiles at Israel in retaliation for the ground invasion of southern Lebanon. A warning from White House officials had been given that a strike was imminent. Price jumped from $70 per barrel to $74 per barrel. Price later rose to $78 on Oct 8, 2024 which currently stands as the highest price of crude oil in two months.

Global stocks tumbled as a result of the recent attacks. According to Reuters, Citigroup Inc made a forecast based on fundamentals. According to Citi, if producer group OPEC+ doesn’t reduce production further, the average price of oil could drop to $60 per barrel in 2025 due to reduced demand and increased supply from non-OPEC countries.

Our analysts on the other hand, see price rallying and our forecast is based majorly on the technicals. We see price rallying to about $90 per barrel before the end of 2025. Price of crude oil falling to $60 is not guaranteed from our analysis, we only see a rally to $90, as price is retesting the support level above $60 with the current price at $70.16. This retesting is momentum for an upward trend. But it all remains to be seen as this war unfolds.

Gold’s Price Consolidates After Reaching All-Time High

In 2015, the lowest price of Gold was at $1047. The bulls have done tremendously well by making the gold price increase in value in the last 9 years. Even during the pandemic, the price of Gold was not really affected, as it was readily considered as a safe haven. The price of Gold reached a new high at $2082 in 2020 despite the disruption that year. Two years later, price fell to $1615. After this fall, the bulls continued the run.

Between August 2020 and December 2023, price of Gold was moving between $1615 and $2082. In latter days of the year 2023, there was a breakout of the resistance level to the upside. This year’s opening price for Gold was at $2023 per ounce. More than 80% of the monthly candlesticks this year closed bullish. The all-time was reached earlier this month at $2588. Since hitting its highs, price has been consolidating around the highs. The current price of Gold is at $2563.03, we should see price reach new highs above $2600 in the next few weeks.
