A bear cycle in Brent futures remains in play and last week’s move lower reinforces current conditions. The contract has also traded through a key support this week, at 76.42, the Jun 4 low. This signals scope for a continuation lower with sights on $74.96 next, the Feb 5 low. The contract is oversold, however any short-term bounce would be considered corrective. Initial firm resistance is seen at $81.61, the 50-day EMA.
