Gold breaks through resistance

The price of gold has finally broken higher, moving above the $1497 area that has acted as resistance since mid-October. Further gains head towards $1530 and $1550.

Having built a base around $1480, higher lows will provide buying opportunities, with a move below this negating the more bullish outlook.

WTI climbs higher

The WTI rally continues to gather pace, clearing the 50-day and 100-day simple moving averages (SMAs) over the past three days.

Further gains head towards $58.00 and $59.40. A move back below $54.50 is needed to begin to suggest a reversal is at hand.
