Gold looks set for more losses

Gains for gold yesterday failed to break back above $1246, previously strong support, with a new lower low being registered during the session.

A bounce needs to move above $1251, to suggest that a rebound is underway. A close below $1240 would open the way to $1214, the lows from May.

WTI rebounds from Tuesday low

WTI was knocked back from the highs of the day yesterday, but is attempting to recover.

A move above $58.58 would leave the $59.00 area in play as a potential target, and then on to $62.56. A turn lower will encounter support around $55.67 and then $55.00.
