The Hidden South America Oil War & The enerGY Spread

 
by Samuel Rines, Managing Director, Corbu
Mon Dec 04, 2023

Bottom Line: The result of the Venezuela referendum on seizing Guyana territory was a resounding “yes”. Why does it matter? A VZ / GY conflict has the potential to cause a few nuances to emerge global crude markets. It is not about War in the Middle East or OPEC (-) or supply and demand dynamics, it is about the spreads. The enerGY Spreads are where things could get spicy.

After a war in the Middle East and OPEC(-) meeting failed to generate sufficient interest, what are the plays for a VZ / GY conflict catalyst? Probably not headline WTI / Brent. Bet the enerGY spread(s).

Annual outlook season has begun in earnest on Wall Street

by Cameron Dawson, CIO NewEdge Wealth
Mon Dec 04, 2023

 
Annual outlook season has begun in earnest on Wall Street. Strategists from around the Street have started publishing their predictions for the S&P 500 next year, and though there are ample critiques about using single point estimates for markets (mostly because it ignores the path that markets can take over the course of the year), it is helpful to understand the logic and drivers behind these different takes on the market.

Much like the separated Scottish Highlander soldiers in the classic song Loch Lomond, we observe that some analysts have taken the high road (predicting a 10% or more increase in the S&P 500 next year), while others have taken the low road (predicting a 10% or more decline in the S&P 500 next year).

The current high road forecast is for 5,100 on the S&P 500 next year, while the low road forecast is for 4,200 on the S&P 500 next year.

Cameron's outlook continues along with charts at the link below:
