​​Gold and silver losses pause, while Brent crude oil tiptoes higher​

​​Gold and silver continue to form an apparent higher low, while oil prices are aiming to resume their move higher.

​​​Gold selling halted for now

​For the moment the price has managed to halt any further declines. Early trading has seen the price attempting to move higher, having found buyers at the lows just above $2300.

​​A close above $2340 could trigger a new move to the upside that would target $2400.

​​Sellers will want to see a close back below $2300 and then below $2291, the low from Tuesday, though the broader uptrend is still firmly intact.

​Brent edges higher

​Oil prices wobbled yesterday after the solid gains seen on Tuesday, but have put their best foot forward in early trading this morning.

​A higher close today would help to reinforce the view that a higher low was created last week when the price bounced off the 50-day simple moving average.

​Further gains would head towards $90, and then on to the early April high around $91.50.

​Silver stabilises above $27

​Silver prices have also stemmed the losses over the past week, holding above $27.

​A higher close today will help bolster the bullish outlook and suggest that a higher low has formed around $27. Additional gains target the mid-April highs at $29.

​A close below $26.50 would mark a bearish development and, as with gold, suggest a deeper retracement in a broader uptrend.
