The Brent futures outlook remains bearish, despite the recovery from last Wednesday’s $101.30 low. The contract continues to trade below its recent high of $114.00, on May 5. This level represents a key short-term resistance where a break is required to signal scope for a stronger bounce. A reversal lower would refocus attention on support at $101.30 - the trigger for a deeper pullback.
