Gold tests key resistance

Gold continues to move higher, and is now testing the $1264 area.

If it can manage a daily close above this level, then $1295 and $1307 come into play. A failure to move above resistance is a bearish development, and would indicate that $1246 and $1238 are now the mostly likely destinations.

WTI pushes on towards $59.00

Yesterday’s indecisive session for WTI still leaves the buyers in charge, with the $55.67 to $59.00 range still intact.

Buyers have been keeping the price up each time it heads towards $57.00, while sellers, for now, are minded to enter around $58.00. This tightening range suggests increased volatility is potentially on the way.
