​​​Brent crude oil price slips

​The Brent crude oil price is seen coming off Friday’s 88.72 high amid ample supply with the February-to-April uptrend line at 86.16 representing a possible short-term downside target. If fallen through, last week’s low at 85.21 may also be revisited.

​Minor resistance above last week’s high at 88.72 sits at the 19 April peak at 90.10.

​Gold price gradually slips

​The spot gold price is gradually slipping towards Thursday’s low at $2,306 below which lies last week’s trough at $2,292. While this level holds, further sideways trading remains on the cards.

​A rise above last week’s high at $2,352 is needed, for the $2,400 region to be back in play.

​Silver price weighs on uptrend line

​The spot silver price’s descent from its $29.79 per troy ounce mid-April high, a level last traded in February 2021, has taken it to the February-to-April uptrend line at $22.67 which offers support. If slid through, the 5 April low at $26.29 would be next in line, ahead of the $25.77 December and late March highs.

​Immediate downside pressure will remain in play while no bullish reversal above Friday’s high at $27.73 is taking place.
