  • WTI is +3.1% at $87.98, through resistance at $87.14 (Oct 20 high) to open $88.66 (Oct 12 high) after which sits key resistance at $92.34 (Oct 10 high).
  • Brent is +2.4% at $95.79, through resistance at $95.17 (Oct 12 high) to open key near-term resistance at $98.75 (Oct 10 high).
  • Gold is +0.8% at $1666.8 having earlier cleared resistance at $1673.6 (Oct 26 high) to open $1691.7 (50-day EMA).
