​​​Brent crude oil price drops further still 

​The Brent crude oil price is on track for its fourth day of declines and looks to hit the $60.00 per barrel mark today. Below it sits the April low at $58.18. 

​Minor resistance can now be found at the mid-April $62.20 low ahead of Wednesday's $63.24 high.

​Front month aluminium futures retest key support 

​Front month aluminium futures are falling out of bed and retest their key April support zone at 229.40-to-228.70. Were it to give way on a daily chart closing basis, the September 2024 low at 225.25 would be eyed. 

​Minor resistance may be found at the November 232.60 low.

​Silver price drops for third straight day 

​The spot silver price seems to have topped out at last week's $33.69 per troy ounce high with it revisiting its 17-to-23 April lows at $32.09. Were a daily chart close below this level to be made, the 11 March low at $31.81 may offer minor support. If not, the 11 February low at $31.25 would be next in line. 

​Minor resistance remains to be seen along the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at $32.63.
