Bearish Crude Trajectory Cemented on Break of $70/bbl

COMMODITIES

Gold traded in a volatile manner Monday. The trend condition is bullish and Monday’s initial gains reinforce this theme. The precious metal touched a fresh all-time high of $2135.4 and this signals potential for a climb towards $2177.6 next. Bearish conditions in WTI futures remain intact and yesterday’s sell-off reinforces this condition. The contract has cleared support at $72.37, the Nov 16 low. The break lower confirms a resumption of the downtrend and note too that moving average studies are in a bear-mode position.
