COMMODITIES
  • WTI has broken through yesterday’s high, regaining all the previously lost ground to be back to July 23 levels.
  • WTI Sep 24 is up 0.7% at $78.1/bbl.
  • For WTI futures, vol band based support undercuts from here at $76.52, ahead of key support at the June 4 low of $72.23. Initial key resistance to watch is $83.58, the July 5 high.
  • Gold has fallen by 1.6% to $2,358/oz on Thursday, pushing spot below the 20-day EMA support to new pullback lows.
  • The move brings the yellow metal to its lowest level since July 9, following solid US data which have reduced the odds of an imminent Fed rate cut.
