Trade idea
- Our short term long call to the upside has soured after reaching around $50, which was given around $45/barrel area, targeting $53/barrel area. Though our stop loss is still quite far away around $40-38/barrel area, we feel opportunity is now greater and attractive lining with fundamental and going short.
- Sell crude with break below $43/barrel area and sell at subsequent rallies targeting $34/barrel area with stop around $50/barrel area.
