A bear threat in Brent futures remains present and the contract continues to trade below $78.73, the Jun 5 high. Monday’s sell-off reinforces current conditions and scope is seen for a move towards $71.20, the May 4 low, ahead of $70.06, the Mar 20 low. Moving average studies remain in a bear mode position and this highlights a downtrend. On the upside, clearance of $78.73 would alter the picture. Short-term gains are considered corrective.
