Brent crude oil, silver and wheat prices lower amid strong US dollar
Brent crude oil, silver and wheat prices lower amid post hawkish Fed rate cut strong US dollar.
Brent crude oil price comes off resistance
The Brent crude oil front month futures price’s advance from its early December 70.76 low amid ongoing global crude supply concerns to last week’s 74.38 high has been followed by a bearish reversal as a strong US dollar weighs on the commodity.
With the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at 73.78 having rejected Wednesday’s bounce, a slip to Tuesday’s low at 72.28 seems to be on the cards. Further down lies the major 70.76 to 69.91 support zone.
