COMMODITIES: WTI Futures Remain Soft Following Sharp Pullback Monday

COMMODITIES
EM BulletCommoditiesEmerging Market NewsEnergy BulletsBulletFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange Bullets

WTI futures have traded sharply lower this week and the contract remains soft. Price has cleared $73.24, the 76.4% retracement of the Dec 13 - Apr 12 bull leg. This reinforces the current bearish theme and signals scope for a continuation. Note that moving average studies are in a bear-mode position too, highlighting a downtrend. Sights are on $71.33 next, the Feb 5 low. Initial resistance is at $76.15, the May 24 low and a recent breakout level. A short-term bear cycle in Gold remains in play for now. The medium-term trend structure is bullish and the recent move down appears to be a correction that is allowing an overbought condition to unwind. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting an uptrend. A resumption of gains would open $2452.5 next, a Fibonacci projection. The 50-day EMA, at $2311.9, represents a key support.

  • WTI Crude up $0.55  or +0.74% at $74.65
  • Natural Gas down $0.03 or -0.91% at $2.732
  • Gold spot up $6.89 or +0.29% at $2361.81
  • Copper up $2.1 or +0.46% at $462.5
  • Silver up $0.29 or +0.97% at $30.292
  • Platinum down $2.05 or -0.21% at $997.93
