- WTI closed 0.4% higher at $69.64/bbl. They rose above $70 during the European session and reached a high of $70.48 but then fell to $68.80, clearing support at $69.09, July 3 low. It is now down 10.5% since November 29, the day before the OPEC announcement. Trend conditions remain bearish.
- Brent finished 0.2% higher at $74.44 but is down 10.2% since November 29. It rose above $75 earlier to make a high of $75.48 but then fell below $74 to $73.60, above support at $73.50, July 6 low. According to Bloomberg, its relative strength index is signalling that it’s oversold.
