📊 Oil Near $70: ERX, DIG, XLE & DBC — Momentum in Focus

Hi, Tigers 🐯

Geopolitical risks remain elevated. Rising friction between the U.S. and Iran, along with potential retaliation risks, has reignited concerns over Middle East supply disruptions, especially near the Strait of Hormuz.

Oil prices have climbed sharply 📈, with WTI trading above $62/barrel near six-month highs and Brent testing the upper channel around $70/barrel,—lifting energy ETFs higher.

In such volatile conditions, leveraged products can be especially effective for capturing short-term momentum ⚡.

So Tigers 💹, what’s your move in this energy sector? Any trades or insights to share? 💬

Iran-Israel Tensions: Will Oil Rebound or Hit New Low?

The sharp drop in oil prices has also led major Wall Street banks to lower their target prices. Goldman Sachs predicted an average oil price of $76 per barrel in 2025. The bank’s analysts noted that geopolitical risk premiums are limited, with no significant impact currently on Iran's supply facilities. Citigroup also adjusted its Brent crude oil price forecast for Q4, lowering it from the previous $74 per barrel to $70 per barrel. ----------------- Will oil hit new low? Or time to rebound?
