Brent futures traded higher yesterday and remain above Friday's low of $44.17. The trend has yet to reverse, however a bearish threat is being monitored. Weakness below Friday's low of $44.17, would signal scope for a deeper pullback and open $43.26, Jul 31 and Aug 3 low and potentially the major support at $42.10. On the upside, the key resistance to watch remains $46.61, Aug 5 high.
