COMMODITIES: WTI Climbs, Spot Gold Registers Another All-Time High

COMMODITIES
EM BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsEmerging Market News
  • WTI has climbed today, although it remains within Friday’s trading range. The Middle East conflict continues to be monitored closely as it prepares for Israel’s retaliation against Iran.
  • WTI Nov 24 is up 2.0% at $70.6/bbl.
  • For WTI futures, initial resistance is seen at $72.07, the 50-day EMA. A continuation of gains would refocus attention on the key short-term resistance at $78.46, the Oct 8 high.
  • On the other hand, an extension lower would threaten the recent bullish theme and expose support at $66.33, the Oct 1 low.
  • Meanwhile, spot gold has edged down by 0.1% to $2,719/oz today, having risen to a fresh record high of $2,740.6 earlier in the session.
  • There was no obvious headline for the pullback from the highs, as higher Treasury yields and the bid in the dollar started to reassert themselves.
  • Technicals remain bullish, with sights on $2,767.1 next, the 3.236 projection of the Jul 25 - Aug 2 - Aug 5 price swing.
  • Copper has also fallen by 0.6% today, to $436/lb, unwinding most of the gain from Friday’s session.
  • The red metal remains 9% below the end-September high, amid uncertainty over the strength of Chinese demand.
  • Copper futures remain in a short-term bear-mode condition and a clear breach of the 50-day EMA, at $436.66, would signal scope for a deeper retracement and open $415.93, a Fibonacci retracement point.
