WTI at Best Levels of the Week, Gold Hits New Monthly Low Overnight

COMMODITIES

WTI futures have recovered from Tuesday’s low of $82.09 to trade at the best levels of the week. Nonetheless, the outlook remains bearish and a resumption of weakness would open $80.35, a Fibonacci retracement and potentially $76.25 further out, the Sep 26 low. Initial firm resistance to watch is at $90.07, Oct 12 high. Gold traded lower Wednesday, with weakness persisting in Asia-Pac trade. The yellow metal maintains a softer tone following the recent reversal from $1729.5, Oct 4 high. The move lower signals the end of the bull phase between Sep 28 - Oct 4 and note that price has moved below the trendline resistance drawn from the Mar 8 high. The focus is on the key support and bear trigger at $1615.0, the Sep 28 low. On the upside, a breach of $1729.5 is required to reinstate a bullish theme.
