$CL_F: Time to buy oil...

3 Mar 2023

I'm already long via a number of energy stocks I have been buying recently but now Oil futures are finally onboard. I was thinking that inflation remaining stickier was proof of post COVID lock downs induced supply disruptions being still a factor, and now that we have China reopening and an increase in demand of 'atoms' thanks to the transition to renewable energy and electric vehicles, combined with the long term dynamics of nearshoring/onshoring/friendshoring, I think oil and oil stocks, biofuel producers, coal, refineries, etc. offer nice upside. Think that India and Mexico will require larger amounts of energy for the wave of industrial activity that will be unleashed there once Western firms move their production to ally nations rather than relying on China, while China reopens and activity resuming unleashes pent up demand on the same finite resources. It's an interesting juncture, and a recipe for potentially explosive upside in certain names.
Let's see how this goes, pick your poison, as far as instruments better suited to express this view in the long term...
Best of luck!

Cheers,

Ivan Labrie.

Long failed for now, rather wait and see what it does next.
Some oil stocks have new long term signals, which is curious, I suspect it's a matter of time before oil rallies with them.
