WTI Futures Hold Bearish Pattern Pre-OPEC

COMMODITIES

The bear cycle in Gold remains intact and short-term gains are - for now - considered corrective. The yellow metal has this week pierced trendline support drawn from Nov 3 2022. A clear breach of this trendline, at $1944.7, would reinforce bearish conditions and open $1903.5. WTI futures remain in a bear mode position. The strong sell-off this week has resulted in a break of support at $69.39, the May 15 low. The clear breach strengthens bearish conditions and paves the way for weakness towards $63.90, the May 4 low.
