Recap<\/strong>:  The crude oil market traded lower on Wednesday after the EIA report showed unexpected builds in distillates and gasoline stocks, signaling weak demand, and a potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine continued to weigh on sentiment. Overnight, the market mostly treaded water as it continued to trade within Tuesday\u2019s lower trading range. However, the market, which posted a high of $69.28, erased any of its gains and continued to trend lower ahead of the release of the EIA\u2019s weekly petroleum stocks report. The oil market sold off to a low of $68.36 in afternoon trading in light of the unexpected builds in distillates stocks of over 3.9 million barrels and a build of 369,000 barrels in gasoline stocks. The market later traded mostly sideways ahead of the close. The April WTI contract settled down 31 cents at $68.62 and the April Brent contract settled down 49 cents at $72.53. The product markets ended the session lower, with the heating oil market settling down 46 points at $2.3443 and the RB market settling down 1.84 cents at $1.9489.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical Analysis<\/strong>:  The oil market on Thursday will likely retrace some of its losses before it continues on its downward trend, as stochastics are still trending lower. The market will look for further developments regarding the potential peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, the Trump administration\u2019s tariff announcements in the coming days as well as economic news, with the second GDP estimate due out on Thursday morning and the Personal Consumption Expenditures index due out on Friday morning. The market is seen finding support at its low of $68.36, $68.00, $67.92, $67.75, $67.67, $67.18 followed by $66.62 and $66.41. Meanwhile, resistance is seen at its high of $69.28, $70.00, $70.20, $70.75, $71.26, $71.32, $71.40 and $72.77.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that it was part of broader agreements with the U.S. and could provide security guarantees to Ukraine to ensure a lasting and fair peace. Earlier, Denys Shmyhal, Ukraine’s Prime Minister, said the government would authorize the agreed wording later on Wednesday so it could be signed. He described it as a “preliminary” agreement. Outlining the agreement in televised comments, Ukraine\u2019s Prime Minister said Kyiv would contribute 50% of “all proceeds received from the future monetization of all relevant state-owned natural resource assets and relevant infrastructure”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
