Brent futures remain firm following last week’s gains and print above resistance at $86.17, the Mar 7 high. The move higher confirmed an extension of the recent recovery that started from the Mar 20 low. A clear break of $86.17 would strengthen bullish conditions and signal scope for a climb towards $88.35, the Jan 23 high. A large gap exists on the daily chart - key support lies at $79.95, the Mar 31 high and the gap low.
