​​​Gold holds steady

​The spot gold price has headed lower over the previous four sessions, though it is attempting to stabilise again in early trading this morning.

​Consolidation still remains the outlook here, while the medium-term bullish view is still in place. A close above $2420.00 will help to suggest that a higher low has formed.

​WTI quiet in early trading

WTI has had a choppy week, rallying on Monday before dropping back again on Tuesday.

​A close above $74.00 would signal that a low may be forming, putting the price back on course for the 200-day simple moving average (SMA).

​Sellers will want to see a close back below Monday’s low of $71.45 to open up the way to more downside.

​Natural gas pushes to trendline resistance

Natural gas has rallied for three sessions, and has moved back above 2000 and above 2061.

​Trendline resistance from the early July peak now comes into play, and a close above this will help to bolster the bullish short-term view.

​There is much to be done to restore the uptrend that ended in late June, and a lower high below 2300 might yet lead to more declines in the medium-term.
