Gold trend just keeps on going

Those looking for signs of a reversal in gold have been sorely disappointed of late.

The price has made further gains above $2000, and seems set to continue. The sequence of higher highs is still in place, with no sign of a reversal yet.

WTI eases off mid-week high

WTI enjoyed a strong first half of the week, but the past 48 hours have not seen a continuation of this bullish momentum.

Losses have been contained around $41.80 however, and a rebound from here would target $43.50 once more. A drop back below $41.50 further reinforces a more cautious outlook.
