Gold rally refuses to stop

Gold’s trend higher roared back into life last week, with the price this morning moving further above the $1337 level.

Now, $1360 comes into play. Possible areas of support are $1337, and then $1326. A move below $1307 is needed to suggest the broader move higher has ended for now.

WTI keeps on moving higher

For WTI too, the steady gains continue, with a dip on Friday bringing out the buyers.

A broader pullback towards the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), currently $59.00, would take some of the heat out of the market, but also provide a possible buying opportunity. A break above last week’s high of $64.57 opens the way to fresh gains.
