Gold buyers reassert control

Bulls will be hoping that yesterday marks a turning point for gold after the pullback of the past week. The price has fought hard over the past few days to hold $1326, and if it can continue this then the way higher opens up.

Near-term targets can be found at $1338, $1346 and then $1358. A daily close below $1326 would be a worrying sign, although the $1320 area could also provide some support.

WTI finds upside strength again

The buyers came in yesterday for WTI, defending $60.74. Further gains above $63.00 will target $64.82 and then $66.58.

Overall, it looks like the rally is back, and it would take a move below the February low around $58.00 to negate the bullish outlook.
