May WTI crude oil on Monday closed down -0.25, and May RBOB gasoline closed down -1.23. Crude and gasoline prices on Monday posted moderate losses, with crude prices falling to a 1-1/2 week low.  Crude oil prices are lower on hopes that the Iran-Israeli conflict can be contained.  Also, Monday’s rally in the dollar index (DXY00) to a 5-1/4 month high is negative for energy prices.

Crude oil prices recovered from their worst levels Monday on concerns about the Iran-Israeli conflict after Axios reported that Israeli Defense Minister Gallant said that Israel had no choice but to retaliate against Iran for its weekend drone and missile attack against Israel.  Iran’s missile and drone strike was clearly telegraphed and did no major damage, but Iran nevertheless raised the stakes by attacking Israel directly from its own territory rather than via proxies.  There are hopes that any Israeli retaliation will be limited and will perhaps conclude the latest round of tensions that began with Israel striking an Iranian consulate in Syria and killing some top Iranian military generals.

Monday’s economic reports showed signs of strength in the global economy that supports energy demand and crude oil prices.  US Mar retail sales rose +0.7% m/m, stronger than expectations of +0.4% m/m.  Also, Eurozone Feb industrial production rose +0.8% m/m, right on expectations.  In addition, Japan Feb core machine orders rose +7.7% m/m, stronger than expectations of +0.8% m/m and the largest increase in 13 months.

Have a Great Day!
