Weekly Analysis and Recommendation:
Crude Oil closed the week at 95.82 after hitting 96.48 on Thursday. As geopolitical tensions grew with Islamic and Al-queda attacks in Mali and Algeria, crude prices climbed. Midweek EIA inventories surprised traders showing a significant drop in inventories. While strong data from the US and China improved demand.
Oil prices dropped on Friday as traders banked profits from the previous day’s gains Prices had closed up more than a dollar on Thursday, boosted by positive economic reports in the United States and fears linked to hostage-taking on an Algerian gas field. Investors also reacted to economic data out of China, choosing to focus on gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the final quarter of 2012, which showed an uptick after seven straight quarters of slowing expansion. Beijing said the world’s number two economy expanded 7.8 percent in 2012, better than the government target of 7.5 percent, marking a second straight year of easing owing to weakness in key overseas markets
