Brent futures are trading lower today as the contract starts the week on a bearish note. A failure to challenge resistance at $114.84, Apr 18 high, threatens the recent bullish theme and exposes support at the 50-day EMA, which intersects at $102.72 today. A break of this average would strengthen bearish conditions and suggest scope for a deeper decline towards $94.61, the Mar 16 low. Initial firm resistance is seen at $109.80.
