Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Maintains Market Perform on National Bank Holdings, Raises Price Target to $45

Oil prices continue to experience a sluggish trend, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light crude trading flat at just under $78 a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">barrel on Monday morning</a>. This stagnation persists even as rising tensions in the Middle East have failed to significantly impact oil prices.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Middle East heats up again</h3>
On Sunday, Israel&#8217;s security cabinet authorized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8216;s government to decide on the manner and timing of a response to a deadly rocket strike in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
The attack, which killed 12 teenagers and children, has been attributed to the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah by both Israel and the United States.
Israel reported that an Iranian-made missile launched from southern Lebanon caused the deaths, holding Iranian-backed Hezbollah responsible.
However, Hezbollah has firmly denied any involvement in the strike, the deadliest in Israel or Israeli-controlled territory since Hamas&#8217; October 7 assault, which initiated the Gaza conflict. In retaliation, Israeli jets targeted sites in southern Lebanon on Sunday.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan suggested over the weekend that Turkey might intervene in Israel, similar to its actions in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh. 
Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, reiterated her &#8220;ironclad&#8221; support for Israel's security. The U.S. has been in talks with Israeli and Lebanese officials since the attack, seeking a diplomatic solution. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stressed that Washington aims to avoid further escalation of the conflict.
Reuters reported Monday morning that Israel aims to weaken Hezbollah without triggering a full-scale war in the Middle East. However, the situation remains highly volatile.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">China&#8217;s Crude Oil Imports Struggle</h3>
Chinese crude oil imports continue to decline, indicating a struggling recovery in the world&#8217;s second-largest economy. 
Crude oil imports in China fell by 11% in June 2024 compared to the same month in 2023, amid weak fuel demand and lower run rates at independent refineries. This represents the sharpest year-over-year decline in crude imports since June 2022.
In June, crude imports totaled 46.45 million metric tons, or approximately 11.3 million barrels per day (bpd). The average utilization rate of independent refineries in Shandong fell to 52% in June, the lowest since the pandemic began in 2020, according to local information provider JLC cited by S&amp;P Global. The utilization rate was previously lower, at 43.8% in February 2020.
In the first half of 2024, crude arrivals also dropped, by 2.3% compared to the first half of last year, according to data from China's General Administration of Customs. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Oil Technical Analysis: Breakout Looms</h3>
&#8220;Oil prices have been trading in a narrowing range, or a triangle pattern, for over a year now,&#8221; wrote Bank of America Technical Strategist Paul Ciana, in a note shared Monday.
A technical triangle pattern is a chart formation indicating consolidation and potential breakout, formed by converging trendlines representing the asset&#8217;s highs and lows.
Bank of America estimates a breakout in crude prices between August and October 2024.
The current wave count links this pattern to the urban legend of the Bermuda Triangle, where things mysteriously disappear. Ciana suggests that a loss of macro risk premium, global demand, and/or supply cut hopes could lead to a decline in oil prices to $63 or $60 a barrel by the end of 2024. 
A weekly close in Brent below $78 &#8220;would look like a bearish triangle breakdown,&#8221; Ciana stated. Conversely, bulls must push oil prices higher. A weekly close above $89 per barrel could trigger a bullish surge to $105 per barrel.
The United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), which closely tracks the performance of the WTI light crude, has risen 13% year to date, yet it is down by over 4% in July.

Ventyx Biosciences Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTYX#NASDAQ">VTYX</a>) stock is trading lower on Monday.
The company released results from the Phase 2 trial of allosteric TYK2 inhibitor VTX958 in participants with moderately to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/g40008627/ventyx-biosciences-announces-results-from-the-phase-2-trial-of-vtx958-in-participants-with-moderat" rel="noreferrer noopener">severely active Crohn&#8217;s disease</a>, a type of&nbsp;inflammatory bowel disease that irritates and causes swelling in digestive tract.
The Phase 2 trial enrolled 109 participants randomized to one of two VTX958 doses (225 mg and 300 mg twice daily) or placebo for a 12-week induction treatment period, followed by a long-term extension period.
The primary endpoint was the change in the mean Crohn&#8217;s disease activity index (CDAI) score (a patient-reported outcome that determines the current severity of Crohn&#8217;s disease) from baseline to Week 12.
A key secondary endpoint in this trial was the endoscopic response, defined as a 50% reduction in the simple endoscopic score for Crohn&#8217;s disease (SES-CD).
The trial did not meet its primary endpoint of change in mean CDAI score due to a higher-than-anticipated placebo response.
A dose-dependent treatment effect was observed on the key secondary endpoint of endoscopic response at 225 mg and 300 mg doses (nominal p-value &lt;0.05 and &lt;0.01, respectively).
Endoscopic response, evaluated by centrally read endoscopy, is considered an objective outcome and a high-priority treatment goal.
Both doses of VTX958 also showed a greater magnitude of decrease compared to the placebo in two key biomarkers of inflammation, C-reactive protein, and fecal calprotectin.
VTX958 was well tolerated in the Phase 2 trial. The overall safety profile was consistent with previously conducted trials of VTX958.
Based on these results, the company intends to conduct further data analyses. Currently, Ventyx does not anticipate conducting additional clinical trials of VTX958 with internal resources.
The company held cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $279.7 million as of June-end, which is expected to fund planned operations into at least the second half of 2026.
Price Action: VTYX stock is down 24.6% at $2.225 at last check Monday.
