Gold puts an end to its consolidation

The price of gold has broken out from the range that has dominated over the past week, moving above $1326.

Fresh targets now come into view at $1336, $1358 and then $1375. Dips should continue to find buyers, although a move below $1307 may be a bearish development. 

WTI sees a pullback, but a bullish trend remains

WTI has dipped towards the $63.00 level, pushing stochastics into oversold territory on the hourly chart.

Further support is possible at $62.56, while a continuation of gains would see the price head back to $64.50.
