Morgan-Stanley-Asset-Allocation-Strategy
Morgan’s are bullish commodities and now forecasting oil spare capacity to have completely disappeared by Q3 2013.
2011 q1 saw Morgan’s get on board with peak oil. (the cynics may say a sell signal.. lol). Near term they expect some weakness especially with the Saudis and US,Europe releasing stores. Total bpd increase in june/july of 3m bpd. (ie 60m bpm from western stores and 1m bpd from Saudis ignoring the opec vote not to increase). Technically a test of 87/88 or so looks likely, i would hope, in the late August and September post US ‘driving season’ pre gulf storm period which is also is often a seasonally weak period for oil especially if coinciding with an equity sell off.
