<h2>Oil Price</h2><p>Crude oil prices broke their 7-week old losing streak, ending the week up c.4% with WTI at USD 68.55/bbl and Brent at USD 75.6/bbl. The shift in market sentiment was driven largely by record US refining demand, with refiners running at c.98% utilization and crack spreads seeing counter-seasonal increases. Elsewhere, the Baker Hughes rig count was broadly flat week-on-week, with oil rigs down by 9 and natural gas rigs down by 4.</p>

<h2>Oil Price</h2><p>A seventh straight weekly drop for Crude Oil prices was seen last week, the longest losing streak in prices since 2015.

Continued price weakness was driven by API's estimate of record US Crude Oil (10.7 MMbbls) and NGLs production (4.4 MMbbls) in 2018, combined with modest production growth amongst OPEC countries such as Libya.

Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.
