Gold Trades Below Trendline Resistance

COMMODITIES

WTI futures traded higher last week and in the process, cleared both the 20- and 50-EMAs. This has strengthened the bullish theme and signals scope for a continuation higher. Attention is on the next key resistance at $96.82, the Aug 30 high. Initial firm support lies at $87.61, the 50-day EMA. Key support is still far off at $76.25, the Sep 26 low. Gold maintains a softer tone. The recent recovery stalled last week at $1729.5, the Oct 4 high. A continuation lower would expose the key support and bear trigger at $1615.0, the Sep 28 low. On the upside, a break of $1729.5 is required to reinstate a bullish theme.
