WTI futures are trading closer to this week’s lows. The contract has cleared support at the 50-day EMA and this strengthens the current bearish theme, signalling scope for a continuation lower. The break lower has opened $100.66, the May 19 low. A breach of this level would pave the way for a move towards $95.47, the May 11 low. Initial firm resistance is seen at $116.58, the Jun 17 high.
