​​Gold close to record high

Spot gold sits near its record high, having enjoyed a solid month. It has gained around 7% from its August low, and looks poised for a new push to record highs.

​Yesterday saw the price stabilise after dropping back on Wednesday, and for the moment there are few signs that a major pullback is on the cards. Even if one were to arrive, the uptrend of the past ten months is still looking strong.

​WTI rallies again

WTI crude oil prices halted the declines of Tuesday and Wednesday, and averted a renewed bearish case with a solid rebound on Thursday.

​The buyers have reasserted control, and we could see a fresh test of this week’s highs at $77.00, while beyond this lies the 200-day simple moving average (SMA), currently $77.62, and then to the $78.70 highs from early August.

​NY Cocoa eases off 1-week highs

​The August New York Cocoa rally has come under some pressure this week, as the price drops back below the 50-day SMA and gives up the highs of Tuesday’s session.

​Another test of the 200-day SMA may occur, while the support zone around 6750 remains in place for the time being. A close above the July highs of 8150 would open the way to a test of trendline resistance from the April highs.
