Chair of the European Parliaments Trade Committee: (Regarding the US Section 301 tariff investigation) Any deviation from the EU-US trade agreement is unacceptable.On March 12th, KBC Bank analysts stated in a report that they expect the European Central Bank (ECB) to raise interest rates at its policy meeting next week or in April. The analysts said, "If there is no unexpected ceasefire this weekend, the ECB will face a $100 per barrel oil price and a difficult policy choice when it meets next Thursday." They added that after previously emphasizing that policy is well-positioned and has room to address symmetric risks surrounding the outlook, "the ECB may have reached a point where its words and actions are consistent." LSEG data shows that the money market expects the ECB to keep interest rates unchanged in March and has priced in a rate hike of approximately 7.5 basis points in April.A Reuters poll predicts that the Indonesian central bank will cut its 7-day reverse repo rate by 25 basis points to 4.50% in the second quarter (the same as the February poll results).March 12 – India plans to launch a fund exceeding 1 trillion rupees (approximately $10.8 billion) to bolster its domestic chip manufacturing capabilities, further fueling its ambition to become a global manufacturing hub.

WTI Price Analysis: Oil traders test multi-day-old resistance at $78.30

Buyers of WTI crude oil take a break near a two-week high, registering slight losses close to the $78.00 threshold on Friday morning. In doing so, the price of black gold retreats from a four-month-long resistance line and snaps a three-day winning streak.

 

Noting the bullish MACD signals and the firmer RSI (14), which are not overbought, as well as the quote's successful trading above the one-week-long ascending support line, keeps WTI bulls optimistic about overcoming the adjacent resistance line, close to $78.30 at the latest.

 

Nonetheless, the 100-DMA barrier encircling $79.75 and the $80.00 round number functions as an additional filter to the north.

 

In the event that the price of oil remains firmer than $80.00, the January 2023 and December 2022 peaks, which are located near $82.55 and $83.30, respectively, could attract commodity investors.

 

Thereafter, a rapid decline to the previous weekly low of $73.85 cannot be ruled out. However, a clear downside break of $73.85 will emphasize the bottom of February and the December 2022 lows, near $72.50 and $70.25, as the key support to monitor during the commodity's further decline.
