Brent futures remain vulnerable, despite the recovery from Wednesday’s low. The move lower this week has defined a key short-term resistance at $100.38, Aug 12 high, ahead of the 50-day EMA which intersects at $100.51. Attention is on support at $91.22, Jul 14 low. A break would confirm a resumption of the broader downtrend and strengthen bearish conditions. Clearance of $100.38/96 is required to highlight a reversal.
