Gold recovers and aims to push higher

The uptrend for gold is intact here, with a move above $1337 targeting $1345 and the highs from last week.

Support is possible around $1326, and then $1314 and $1307.

Brent holds its ground

The rally from the lows of $68.00 looks to be petering out for Brent, with an inability to push above $69.23 suggesting that the sellers will regain control.

Below $68.00, the $66.86 and $64.56 levels come into play. While the trend is still up, we could be looking at a deeper retracement in the near future.
