​​​​Gold price steady, while WTI crude oil slips and natural gas pushes higher​​​​

​​​Gold holds firm ​

The price remained relatively muted on Thursday, matching the limited movement seen on Friday. ​ ​Bullish momentum has faded over the past week, though dip buyers have stepped in on weakness, most notably on 24 October and 1 November. ​ ​Overall the bullish move is intact, though a close below $1950 could signal a more substantial pullback is at hand. ​

​WTI bounce stalls

​Oil prices rallied on Thursday, with WTI moving higher off the 100-day SMA. ​ ​Now the buyers need to provide fresh impetus, with a close above $84 helping to restore a short-term bullish view. This then puts the price on course for more gains towards the October high. ​A failure to clear trendline resistance from the September high could see selling pressure materialise once again.

​Natural Gas pushes higher

​After a mixed performance on Wednesday, the price stabilised on Thursday. ​ ​The overall rally is firmly intact, as is the move higher from mid-October. With the price having carved out a higher high this week the buyers are in control. A close above 3670 would see the price above the late-2021 low and reinforce the bullish view. ​ ​In the near-term, a drop below 3350 might suggest a push back towards the mid-October lows. ​
