She did not succeed in that, and we see a new drop in the oil price to the $93.40 level. The American president is in the Middle East and will have meetings with Arab leaders. Some calculations suggest that the US president could produce slightly more.

An official government report showed yesterday that crude oil stocks in the US rose by 3.25 million barrels, with gasoline stocks also rising. Crude oil is trading at $94.06 a barrel, down 2.35% since the opening of trading last night. To continue on the bearish side, we need further negative consolidation. Our next target is the $92.00 level and then the $90.00 psychological support zone. For a bullish option, we need a positive consolidation and hold above the $95.00 level. After that, we need a continuation towards the $98.00 level. If we were to break above, our next target would be the $100.00 level.
