ETF Securities Weekly Flows Analysis: Oil suffers worst weekly outflows in six years

December 5, 2016--Investors take profit on a 15% gain in oil prices following OPEC's deal to cut production.
Gold ETP outflows of US$274mn were highest since July 2015.
Profit-taking on long GBP, short EUR positions after Pound rallies on hopes of a softer Brexit.

Oil ETP outflows reach highest level since August 2010 as investors take profit on a 15% surge in prices. There were US$126mn of outflows from long oil ETPs. OPEC's landmark deal to cut production for the first time in eight years drove the market euphoria as participants responded to the headline cut of 1.2 million barrels per day.

However, anyone looking at the details can see that OPEC is not committing to cutting 1.2 million barrels from today's levels. The reference figures from which they are cutting from are inflated (compare to what was produced in October).
