Gold returns to key resistance

Gold has rallied back to $1740, the highs from mid-April.

Rising trendline support has assisted the price in its push higher, while pullbacks from the current levels may find support near $1715. A breakout above $1740 would provide a more bullish outlook.

WTI breaks through $28

The WTI price has pushed through $28.00 and looks to have further upside ahead. Rising support over the past two weeks has held back any further downside.

Fresh gains will head towards $31.00. A more bearish view requires a drop below $25.50.
