*COMMENTARY* April's 157.43 low was enough of a correction, at least for the

time being, last Thursday's move back above 158.00-158.05 turned the near term

tide and allowed some recovery of the losses seen since the Mar 28 high at

159.69. Had previously been held back by congested resistance between 158.83 and

158.95 but Thursday's rise through here and the pivotal 159.16 level, sees

potential for a 159.69 return and perhaps 159.92. Support 158.65-158.38.
