Gold price and oil price continue to rally
A weaker dollar has helped to allow both gold and oil to move higher in early trading.
Gold shows no sign of slowing down
A pullback yesterday from Wednesday’s highs has resulted in yet another higher low, with the gold price rallying from the 200-hour simple moving average (SMA) at $1765.
A continuation of the uptrend seems likely, which would bring $1790 into view. Bears need to see a move back below $1760, and then below $1750, to suggest that a bigger move lower is in play.
Brent keeps moving higher
Brent crude's breakout at the beginning of the week continues, although in a fairly sedate fashion.
Further gains head towards $44.00, while the bearish view would need to see a drop below $41.00, followed up by a test of the $40.00 support.
