Brent futures traded lower Friday and confirmed a clear break of the 20-day EMA. This highlights a bearish theme and suggests the current corrective cycle remains in play. Attention is on support around the 50-day EMA, which intersects at 111.80 and just above yesterday’s $111.52 low. A clear break of this average is required to suggest scope for an extension lower. For bulls, the broader trend is up, the bull trigger is at 125.19, Jun 14 high.
