The bullish vibes had dissipated somewhat earlier this week but made a late comeback this afternoon. You could argue that the market is pricing an upcoming event. We keep digging. Flat price fancied another crack at $70, breaking through at 15:30 GMT. By the close, it had risen to $70.37/bbl, while the prompt spread reached $1.20. As we saw in this morning’s allocations, China can’t stop buying, the Saudi OSPs were bullish too! We can’t help but feel we are at a turning point.
