Bull Theme in WTI Persists, But No Breakout Despite Iran Attacks

COMMODITIES

The trend condition in Gold remains bullish and the yellow metal traded higher Friday, extending the current impulsive bull phase. The move higher maintains the price sequence of higher highs and higher lows and note that moving average studies are in a bull-mode condition. A bull theme in WTI futures remains intact and the contract is consolidating but trading closer to its recent highs. Recent gains reinforced current bullish conditions and confirmed a resumption of the uptrend.
