Energy Weekly: Crude Markets Soften As Investors Take Money Off
the Table — Large Drops in Speculative Net Length and Open
Interest for WTI and Brent in July; ISIS Takes Control of Kurdish Oil Fields
4 August 2014 ¦ 14 pages ir.citi.com

The weakness in crude markets over the past month has been largely a function
of financial outflows by the investor community. COT data show managed money
net length in ICE Brent down 50% and NYMEX WTI down 20% in July. Open
interest also fell 18% and 6% for Brent and WTI respectively during the month. A
troubled geopolitical environment hasn’t been enough to offset weakness
emanating from physical crude markets and the 1st of the month (when
index/roll-yield/fund investors typically re-allocate new money) last Friday saw a
further weakening of crude prices amidst lackluster demand. Brent prices have
fallen well past the level seen just before ISIS took Mosul and are close to the
April 2nd YTD low of $104.79/bbl.
