After falling from the weekly high above $82.50 the previous day, WTI crude oil prices remain under pressure toward $81. In doing so, the black gold represents the oil market's indecision in the face of contradictory signals, while preparing for the first positive week in five weeks.

 

As traders prepare for the key catalysts, recession concerns and fears of a supply shortage received the most attention, but the dollar's weakening may have been overlooked.

 

According to anonymous sources cited by Reuters, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, which include Russia and are known collectively as OPEC+, have begun discussing a potential output cut for the next meeting. Russia's willingness to acquire additional portions of Ukraine may have also benefited oil purchasers.

 

In contrast, recession difficulties intensified as the majority of central banks remained assertive despite recent economic gloom and fears of a supply crisis. In addition, the rumors regarding China's inability to control its recessionary difficulties and the United Kingdom's fears of further economic suffering as a result of recent austerity policies appear ominous for the energy benchmark.

 

Consequently, commodity traders are in a quandary and will pay particular attention to the forthcoming September activity statistics from the world's largest commodity consumer, China. After that, the Fed's preferred inflation indicator, namely the Core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index for August, which is anticipated to increase 4.7% YoY compared to 4.6% previously, will be crucial for determining new directions.
