Why The Oil Stocks Not Moving With Crude Oil Markets?

The energy market particularly the crude oil seems to meet its old resistance area as depicted on the Brent crude oil chart. The price confluence area seems intact for the time being and it has been there since 2018. Current outlook for the crude oil market is not buoyed enough to justify its north trajectory.

This can also be clearly seen on major oil producing company such as Chevron and Royal Dutch Shell. In the recent price escalation of crude oil, both oil producing companies does not react as expected. In the case of Chevron, a strong resistance exists from last year gap down move (early June 2020) depicted on the chart by the island chart pattern. Price keep on bouncing down whenever it tried to break it.

Looking at other side of the game, the renewable energy sector looks to cash in on the current situation and with new stimulus package from President Biden, that favors renewable energy development demand could be tapped off for the crude oil. Lately, we have heard and read the news most iconic automotive brand are switching to electrified vehicle (EV) to reduce carbon emission and profit from it. This could happen sooner that we might think, as shown by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) announcing to produced all electric vehicle on all their models range by 2024. The major plane maker Airbus is currently developing a similar carbon emission free aircraft, which could further lower the demand for crude oil.
