Oil settles mixed after hitting 7-week high on strong China outlook

  • Brent, U.S. crude hit highest since early December
  • G7 seeks two price caps for Russian oil products
  • India’s crude imports hit 5-month high in December

NEW YORK, Jan 23 (Reuters) – Oil prices settled mixed on Monday, retreating as investors cashed in on a jump to a seven-week high on optimism about a possible recovery in demand of top oil importer China as the economy recovers this year from pandemic lockdowns.

Brent crude settled 56 cents higher at $88.19 a barrel. The session high was $89.09 a barrel, the highest since Dec. 1. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude settled 2 cents lower at $81.62 a barrel, off the session high $82.64 a barrel, the highest since Dec. 5.

Prices pulled back at the end of the session as investors took profits, said Phil Flynn, analyst at Price Futures Group.

Still, the market wants to preserve long positions in case Chinese growth resumes, said Sukrit Vijayakar, director of Mumbai-based energy consultancy Trifecta.

Data shows a solid pick-up in travel in China after COVID-19 curbs were eased, ANZ commodity analysts said in a note, pointing out that road traffic congestion in the country’s 15 key cities so far this month is up 22% from a year ago.

Crude oil prices in much of the world’s physical markets have started the year with a rally as China has shown signs of more buying and traders have worried that sanctions on Russia could tighten supply.

“While the (China) reopening itself will no doubt prove to be complicated, particularly over the holiday season, early indications suggest there has been a rise in activity, meaning the economy could perform better,” said OANDA analyst Craig Erlam.

Brent is expected to move back into a range between $90 and $100 as the oil market tightens, Erlam said.

Demand for products has lifted the oil market and refining margins, Flynn said. The 3-2-1 crack spread , a proxy for refining margins, rose to $42.18 per barrel on Monday, the highest since October.

The European Union and Group of Seven (G7) coalition will cap prices of Russian refined products from Feb. 5, in addition to the price cap on Russian crude in place since December and an EU embargo on imports of Russian crude by sea.

The G7 has agreed to delay a review of the level of the price cap on Russian oil to March, a month later than originally planned, to provide time to assess the impact of the oil products price cap.

In India, crude oil imports rose to a five-month high in December, government data showed on Monday, as refiners stocked up discounted Russian fuel amid a steady increase in consumption in the country.

NVIDIA Settles On $799 MSRP For The GeForce NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti

A few weeks ago, I wrote that NVIDIA is mulling pricing the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti at an MSRP of $899 and had informed AICs that this would be the launch price tentatively. Multiple sources have informed us that they have received a last minute update from big green with what appears to be a pre-launch price drop and the current tentative MSRP of the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti: $799.

NVIDIA quietly informs AICs of a price cut for the 4070 Ti’s MSRP: tentatively launching at $799

NVIDIA likes to keep the pricing of its GPUs close to itself before launch and some AICs had already started taking orders at an MSRP of $899 from some of their channel partners. However, they have been informed today that the tentative launch date is now $799 and the difference will be adjusted for existing orders. Since we are closer to the launch, this price point is likely going to stick (although that is just my educated guess).

That said, this extract form my original article still remains relevant (although price is unlikely to go up, and more likely to go down if Jensen changes his mind again):

Keep in mind, however, that Jensen wields the black leather jacket and all of us must submit to its power. So he could very well snap his fingers and change the MSRP at the very last moment should he want to. This is also why I am still tagging this post as a rumor – because until the marketing and documentation gets made for the launch, details like this can still change.

A big reason for why NVIDIA might have had a change of heart could be because of the fact that 25% GPU tariffs were set to resume on 1/1 and were pushed back by the US government by 9 months. This meant that if NVIDIA and AICs kept the pricing of their cards constant, it would have shrunk their margins. They might have figured to take the hurt anyways and pass on the savings from the lack of resumption to the consumer.

But of course, the biggest reason is probably the completely lackluster traction of the NVIDIA RTX 4080 which has had serious difficulty in flying off the shelves unlike its much more expensive sibling: the NVIDIA RTX 4090. The updated value proposition of NVIDIA’s RTX 40 series based on the value that the RTX 4090 offers is below:

GPU FP32 TFLOPs MSRP TFLOPs/$ Value (%)
GeForce RTX 4090 82.59 1599 0.05165 100.0%
GeForce RTX 4080 48.74 1199 0.04065 78.7%
GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 40.09 799 0.05017 97%

As we can see, the RTX 4070 Ti with this  new MSRP is far closer to the value that the TITAN offers from a TFLOPs/$ perspective and should enable the card to take the burn to AMD’s recently launched Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. With just a few weeks to launch, NVIDIA has decided to reduce the price of its relatively-mainstream entry and further price cuts could be in the pipeline should the wielder of the black-leather-jacket deem it so. If there any more price changes, I will report on them right away.

JUUL settles, Toll Brothers results, Stitch Fix loss and more: Wednesday’s 5 things to know

Here are the key events taking place on Wednesday that could impact trading.

JUUL LABS: Announced it has reached a settlement covering more than 5,000 lawsuits and about 10,000 individual plaintiffs, ending legal uncertainty for the e-cigarette company.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

Juul said Tuesday that it had secured an equity investment to cover the cost of the settlement, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Juul has been in talks with investors, including longtime board members, Hyatt Hotels heir Nick Pritzker, and California investor Riaz Valani, about a financial bailout, first reported by the Journal.

TOLL BROTHERS: Reported higher fiscal fourth-quarter revenue as the home builder delivered more homes in the recent period. 

The company said profit rose to $640.5 million, or $5.63 per share, compared with $374.3 million, or $3.02 per share, a year ago. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $4.01 per share. 

Revenue rose to $3.71 billion from $3.04 billion a year ago, topping the expectation for $3.17 billion. Home sales revenue increased 21% to $3.6 billion.

The company delivered 3,765 units in the quarter, up from 3,341 units delivered a year ago, according to Dow Jones.

Toll Brothers said backlog value was $8.9 billion with 8,098 homes at the end of the quarter, which is lower from a year ago.

STITCH FIX: Reported a wider fiscal first-quarter loss on lower sales.

The online personal-shopping and styling service’s loss widened to $55.9 million, or 50 cents per share.

That compares to a loss of $1.83 million, or two cents per share, a year ago. Analysts polled by FactSet expected a loss per share of 47 cents.

 Revenue declined 22% to $455.6 million. Analysts expected $459.6 million according to Dow Jones.

The company reported nearly 3.71 million active clients during the period, down 11% from a year ago. Net revenue per active client was flat at $525, the company said.

EARNINGS: Reports in the morning will include Brown-Forman,  Campbell’s Soup, and United Natural Foods (Whole Food’s largest supplier).

OIL INVENTORIES DUE: Futures traded higher Wednesday on hopes for improved Chinese demand while uncertainty about how a Western cap on Russian oil prices would play out.

A potential drawdown in U.S. crude stockpiles of around 6.4 million barrels, according to API figures, also gave some sentiment support on the supply front.

U.S. crude futures traded around $74.00 a barrel.

Brent crude futures traded around $79.00 a barrel, after they fell below $80 in the previous trading session.
