WTI Futures and Gold Steady After Firm Reversal Lower

COMMODITIES

The reversal in WTI futures this week threatens the recent bullish theme. The contract has traded below the 50-day EMA and attention is on the 20-day EMA at $86.25. A continuation lower would open $89.94 and $82.89 - the 50.0% and 61.8% retracement points of the Sep 26 - Oct 10 rally. On the upside, key resistance is at $93.64, Oct 10 high where a break is required to reinstate a bullish theme. Gold maintains a softer tone. The recent recovery stalled at $1729.5, the Oct 4 high. A continuation lower would expose the key support and bear trigger at $1615.0, the Sep 28 low. On the upside, a break of $1729.5 is required to reinstate a bullish theme.
