January 11th, following the shocking non-farm payrolls data in December last year, investors are now turning their attention to the December CPI data scheduled for release next Wednesday. Bank of America analysts Sarah House and Aubrey Woessner expect overall inflation to reach a five-month high of 2.9% in December, higher than 2.7% in November. They said in a report that the core CPI growth rate is expected to remain at 3.3% for the fourth consecutive month. They believe that inflation "will stagnate this year as anti-inflationary benefits from improved supply chains and falling commodity prices have faded, while new headwinds may emerge from trade policy."Morgan Stanley said the U.S. nonfarm payrolls report should reduce the likelihood of a near-term Federal Reserve rate cut.Germanys DAX30 index closed down 106.06 points, or 0.52%, at 20213.31 points on January 10 (Friday); Britains FTSE 100 index closed down 69.50 points, or 0.84%, at 8250.19 points on January 10 (Friday); Frances CAC40 index closed down 59.24 points, or 0.79%, at 7431.04 points on January 10 (Friday); The STOXX 50 index closed at 4,976.85 points on January 10 (Friday), down 41.06 points, or 0.82%.

The price of WTI crude oil regains some positive momentum on the opening day of a new week and maintains its position above the $85.00 threshold heading into the European session.

 

From a technical standpoint, the commodity defends the $84.50-$84.25 confluence combining the 4-hour 100-period SMA and the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the $76.08-$92.63 advance. The aforementioned region should now serve as a crucial turning point, which, if decisively broken, will pave the way for a continuation of the recent rapid drop from the highest level since August reached last week.

 

In the interim, any future advance is likely to encounter resistance between $85.70-$85.75. This is closely followed by the $86.00 mark and the 38.2% Fibonacci level in the $86.30 region, over which current prices might reach $87.00. The momentum may extend into the $87.45 barrier en route to the $88.00 mark and the 23.6% Fibonacci level, in the $88.55-$88.60 supply zone.

 

In contrast, weakening below the $85.00 round number may continue to find support near the intersection of $84.50 and $84.25. A convincing break below will serve as a new catalyst for pessimistic traders and pave the way for further declines. The price of WTI crude oil might possibly decline below $84,00 and test the next key support between $83.40-$83.35 before falling to the $83.00 level.
