Exxon (XOM) Offering Possible 11.36% Return Over the Next 31 Calendar Days

Exxon's most recent trend suggests a bullish bias. One trading opportunity on Exxon is a Bull Put Spread using a strike $45.00 short put and a strike $40.00 long put offers a potential 11.36% return on risk over the next 31 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bull Put Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were above $45.00 by expiration. The full premium credit of $0.51 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $4.49 would be incurred if the stock dropped below the $40.00 long put strike price.

The 5-day moving average is moving up which suggests that the short-term momentum for Exxon is bullish and the probability of a rise in share price is higher if the stock starts trending.

The 20-day moving average is moving up which suggests that the medium-term momentum for Exxon is bullish.

The RSI indicator is at 74.51 level which suggests that the stock is neither overbought nor oversold at this time.

Oil Near $52 on Still-Surging Virus and Stronger Dollar
Mon, 18 Jan 2021 10:47:31 +0000
(Bloomberg) — Oil futures held steady, despite a stronger dollar and physical prices in Asia continuing to trade at weaker levels than a month ago.Premiums for Russia’s ESPO have fallen by more than $1 since last month, according to traders who asked not to be identified. It follows a flurry of new Covid cases in China, potentially menacing demand, and flare ups in other regional oil consumers like Japan. Indian energy demand was also off to a shaky start to the year, with sales of transport and cooking fuels dropping from a month earlier.While a second consecutive daily rise in the dollar was adding pressure to prices on Monday, not all data was so downbeat. Chinese refiners processed a record volume of crude in December, the equivalent of about 14 million barrels a day, a sign of just how strongly consumption in the world’s largest crude importer had rebounded into the end of last year. Combined with OPEC+ output cuts and the rollout of Covid vaccines, that had helped push prices to a 10-month high at the start of the year.“The virus will be beaten, and the foundation of economic recovery was laid down in the second half of last year,” said Tamas Varga, an analyst at PVM Oil Associates Ltd. As a result, the pullback in prices “might prove to be short-lived,” he said.Libya’s oil output, meanwhile, has dropped by about 200,000 barrels a day after the closure of a leaking pipeline. The decline underscores how difficult it is for the country to maintain production after almost a decade of civil war.See also: President Biden Won’t Unlock a Wave of Iranian Crude: Julian LeeVolumes of crude stored at sea are also continuing to fall as the market rebalances. Floating storage slipped to 80 million barrels last week, according to Vortexa Ltd, the lowest since April.For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.
