COMMODITIES
EM BulletCommoditiesEmerging Market NewsEnergy BulletsBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange Bullets

WTI futures maintain a softer tone. The contract traded sharply lower Tuesday, resulting in a break of key support at $70.88, the Aug 5 low. The clear break of this level confirms a resumption of the downtrend that started Apr 12 and paves the way for an extension towards $68.92, the Dec 13 ‘23 low. Moving average studies are in a bear-mode position highlighting a clear downtrend. Initial resistance is at $74.65, the 20-day EMA. The trend in Gold remains bullish and the recent sideways move marks a pause in the uptrend. MA studies are in a bull-mode set-up and this highlights a dominant uptrend. The recent breach of $2483.7, Jul 17 high, confirmed a resumption of the primary uptrend and the focus is on $2536.4 next, a Fibonacci projection. Initial support to watch lies at $2483.6, the 20-day EMA. It has been pierced, a move lower would  be considered corrective.

  • WTI Crude down $0.49 or -0.7% at $69.87
  • Natural Gas down $0 or -0.05% at $2.201
  • Gold spot down $18.7 or -0.75% at $2474.65
