Brent update: More relief to come
|The chart below shows Brent which is now trading at $82 a barrel with the price dropping to as low as $80 a barrel. We have closed all our short positions on Brent we expect prices to be choppy and sideways for the next few weeks. We see Brent in a tight range of $78 to $82 a barrel.
On the 1st of November, the National Energy Regulator of South Africa and Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority both cut prices of retail petroleum products by 3 cents on average which was much-needed relief at the pump for consumers.
We foresee another price cut to come in the next few weeks to ease the pressure of cost-push inflation currently in play from the higher Brent prices. The next major move in Brent is higher targeting $100 a barrel once price action gives us a clear sign we will post an updated analysis.
