*COMMENTARY: Despite pressuring the 21-DMA ($1325.9) bulls failed to gain

traction above with pressure returning to $1312.9. Bears look for a close below

$1312.9 to return focus to $1289.6-1304.3 where 100 & 200-DMAs are situated.

Bulls still need a close above $1330.0 to confirm a break of the 21-DMA and gain

breathing room whereas a close above $1351.3 remains needed to initially focus

on $1367.3-1374.9 where 2016 highs are noted.
