The Brent futures outlook remains bearish and yesterday’s move lower reinforces this theme. The recent break of $89.06, Jul 14 low and a bear trigger highlights a resumption of the downtrend that started early August and has opened $86.54, the Mar 9 low. The bear trigger is $87.24, the Sep 8 low. On the upside firm resistance is seen at the 50-day EMA which intersects at $96.35.
