WTI looks to close week on a strong note, adds 3% on Friday
· *Trade optimism boosts crude oil prices on Friday.*
· *Baker Hughes reports the largest weekly decline in rig count in nearly two years.*
Crude oil price staged a strong rally on Friday with the barrel of West Texas Intermediate reaching its highest level since December 7 near $54. As of writing, the barrel of WTI was trading at $54.05, adding 3% on a daily basis.
Earlier this week, crude oil stayed in a relatively tight range while investors were trying to figure out how the U.S. - China trade conflict would continue to impact the global demand outlook. With China introducing new stimulus to boost the economy and headlines suggesting progress in trade talks, crude oil gained traction. On Friday, Bloomberg claimed that China was getting ready to increase its imports of the U.S. products with an aim to eliminate the trade imbalances.
Additionally, the weekly report published by Baker Hughes today revealed that the number of active oil rigs decreased to 852 this week from 873 to post its largest decline since February of 2016. Furthermore, OPEC's monthly report on Thursday showed that the monthly production levels fell sharply with the additional output cuts going into effect following record high production levels toward the end of 2018.
Investors will be paying close attention to new developments surrounding the U.S. - China trade war and new signs suggesting that the conflict is drawing to a close could provide more fuel to crude oil's rally.

Appeals court rules in Texas' favor over effort to defund Planned Parenthood
New Orleans, La., Jan 18, 2019 / 06:59 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit vacated Thursday a previous injunction barring Texas from stripping Planned Parenthood affiliates of Medicaid funding.
The injunction was based largely on undercover videos released by the pro-life group Center for Medical Progress (CMP) during the summer of 2015 which show Planned Parenthood workers negotiating the sale of body parts from aborted children.
“The [Texas Office of Inspector General]...concluded, based on the videos, that [Planned Parenthood affiliates] at a minimum violated federal standards regarding fetal tissue research and standards of medical ethics by allowing doctors to alter abortion procedures to retrieve tissue for research purposes or allowing the researchers themselves to perform the procedures,” Circuit Judge Edith Jones wrote in the court’s Jan. 17 opinion.
Many media reports since 2015 have characterized CMP’s undercover videos as “deceptively” or “heavily” edited, undercutting their credibility.
“The district court stated, inaccurately, that the CMP video had not been authenticated and suggested that it may have been edited...In fact, the record reflects that OIG had submitted a report from a forensic firm concluding that the video was authentic and not deceptively edited,” Jones wrote. “And the plaintiffs did not identify any particular omission or addition in the video footage.”
In the videos in question, two individuals including journalist David Daleiden posed as representatives from a fetal tissue procurement company, and claimed to be interested in purchasing liver, thymus, and neural tissue from fetuses aborted during the second trimester of pregnancy.
Melissa Farrell, Research Director for Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, is shown in the videos discussing the possibility of a research partnership, providing a tour of her clinic’s surgical facilities, and displaying tissue samples from recently aborted fetuses, according to the court ruling.
An Aug. 2016 grant proposal attributed to George Soros’ Open Society Foundations indicated at least $7-$8 million would be spent in a campaign to counter the CMP videos and “transform the narrative, charging that the videos were doctored.”
Following the release of the videos, the Texas Office of the Inspector General (OIG) subsequently informed Planned Parenthood’s affiliates in October 2015 that they were “no longer capable of performing medical services in a professionally competent, safe, and legal manner” and their funding would be terminated, and sent final notice of the decision during December 2016.
Planned Parenthood’s 30 affiliates in Texas currently receive $3.4 million in Medicaid funds.
The affiliates sued in federal court to block the termination of funding, and the district court granted an injunction for the plaintiffs in part because, in the February 2017 opinion of district judge Sam Sparks, the undercover videos had not been authenticated and appeared to have been edited.
The district court also discounted statements from Farrell because she claimed on the witness stand that she had no personal knowledge of the medical aspects of abortion procedures and “had never even been in the room when an abortion was performed.”
Jones affirmed that the state has the right to exclude a healthcare provider from Medicaid funds, and criticized the Planned Parenthood affiliates’ argument that the OIG has insufficient expertise to determine the qualifications of abortion providers.
“That the Chief Medical Officer is a surgeon – and not himself an abortion provider – does not mean that he deserves no deference when deciding whether a provider has failed to meet the medical and ethical standards the state requires,” Jones wrote.
“It is even odder to claim that federal judges, who have no experience in the regulations and ethics applicable to Medicaid or medical practice, much less in regard to harvesting fetal organs for research, should claim superior expertise.”
The case is now remanded to the district court for further review, which has been ordered to apply a different legal standard to determine the final outcome.
The Texas House of Representatives first passed a budget that would have stripped Planned Parenthood of its state funding in April 2017. Texas’ Inspector General had sought to strip the abortion provider of state funding because the videos “indicated noncompliance with accepted medical and ethical standards,” according to the lawsuit.
“Planned Parenthood’s reprehensible conduct, captured in undercover videos, proves that it is not a ‘qualified’ provider under the Medicaid Act, so we are confident we will ultimately prevail,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote in a Jan. 17 statement. Reported by CNA 8 hours ago.

Wall Street Week Ahead: U.S. chipmakers may give clues on China hazard
By Noel Randewich SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Intel Corp operates mostly outside the Apple-sphere, and that is exactly why whatever it says next week about business in its vital Chinese market matters so much for investors. Apple rattled global markets this month when the iPhone maker cut its revenue outlook for the first time in 15 years, blaming factors like the U.S.-China trade dispute and a slowdown in the Chinese economy. Upcoming quarterly scorecards from Intel, Texas Instruments and other chipmakers, as well as Ford Motor, will shed light on whether Apple made a convenient excuse for its own troubles or revealed a strengthening headwind faced by global companies that rely on China for a big chunk of their sales
