Brent futures are trading below recent highs and the contract has weakened today. This has resulted in a break of support at $83.50, the Apr 3 low, and the contract has also breached the 20-day EMA, at $83.01. The break lower signals scope for a test of the 50-day EMA that intersects at $82.03 and marks a key short-term support. Key resistance has been defined at $87.49, the Apr 12 high. A break would resume the recent bull run.
