At the end of the working week, Bitcoin jas lost around 60% of its peaking value, but those, who watch for WTI are seeing good results; Asia is influemcing yields for a selloff.
WTI crude is hitting new heights.
Americans are very determined at starting to put up more oil barrels per day than any other country in the world. For now, USA are approaching all-time American record of outputting 10.04 million barrels per day.
With this volume that is now being produced by Americans WTI is now exceeding Brent crude in amount of sold barrels per day. These numbers bring hope to the American oil market at just a decade ago USA were isolated from the world of oil trading. WTI was only a domestic product and today it is already practically dominating world oil market.
There were two factors which helped WTI go global – first, 2016 end of the ban for oil export, which allowed USA selling their product, second the boom in demand for oil became the reason for the growth of small companies that now help the industry thrive.
For comparison – in 2016 average export was 590.000 barrel per day. Today, it adds up to 1.1 million barrels per day.
US yield feels the Asian pressure.
10-year US yield fall has provoked a selloff as it’s fallen to the point of 2.8 percent. This is a new level for the yield since 2014.
30-year yield flew through 3 percent barrier which is the highest point for the asset in the last 8 months.
Asian buyers are not demonstrating proper interest rate for the treasuries and this resulted in lack of support.
