Brent crude oil price comes off 2 ½ month high as silver price rallies
Brent crude oil price comes off 2 ½ month high as silver price continues its early 2025 rally despite an appreciating US dollar.
Brent crude oil prices trades within key resistance zone
On Thursday the Brent crude oil front month futures price briefly overcame its November to December 74.18 to 76.16 sideways trading range resistance area by rising to 76.47 on lower-than-expected crude oil inventories. This key resistance area may nonetheless cap as trading volumes are relatively thin with the majority of big players likely to enter the fray from next week onwards.
Support can now be found between the September and November highs at 75.22 to 74.95 and further minor support at the 74.38 to 74.18 early-to-mid-December highs.
