Brent oil: Recovers to hourly 200-MA

Brent oil futures recovered from the daily lows, but prices appear stuck around the hourly 200-MA resistance located at USD 33.90 levels.

The meeting between Saudi and Venezuela over the weekend failed to reach a “productive” conclusion and that indicated markets that a joint OPEC and non-OPEC production cut is far easier said than done.

Prices currently trade around USD 33.60/barrel. The immediate support is seen at 32.93 (daily low) under which the losses could be extended to 32.21 (Feb 2 low). On the other hand, a break above 33.90 (hourly 200-MA) could see the prices re-test the daily high of 34.65.
