Gold back around resistance area

Gold has managed to rally back into the $1265 region this morning, as the market continues its gradual ascent. The fall below $1260 added a greater risk of a pullback, yet an hourly close above $1265 would negate this.

The recent bullish turnaround may not have been the most exciting, yet it has been relatively consistent. As such, further upside seems likely, with a break through $1265 adding greater confidence to that move.  

Brent continues its gradual ascent

Brent has continued its gradual ascent this morning, with the price reaching the highest level in a week.

With trendline support in play, there is a good chance we will continue to grind higher from here. A break below $63.09 would be required to negate this short-term bullish view.
