Energy markets are still trying to find a floor after a weak finish Friday left refined products at their lowest weekly closing level in several months. For RBOB futures, Friday’s drop left the contract at its lowest level since February, when the prompt contract was a winter spec that traded roughly 25 cents below the current summer values. That slide on the weekly charts leaves the contract in perilous technical territory with a slide into the $2.20 range likely if buyers can’t maintain the current push back north of the $2.50 mark this week. ULSD futures ended the week at their lowest since last July, and a similar slide towards $2.20 appears to have a good probability if the early buying today isn’t sustained. That said, both contracts are in oversold technical territory on the daily charts, so a bigger bounce is certainly possible.
