There is little change to the overall picture for gold here.

WTI uptrends in place

WTI has recovered from yesterday’s drop, and continues on its way towards $73.

Rising trendline support from 18 September continues to provide the foundation for further gains, while a break below this near-term support would see a push in the direction of the $70 level and the rising trendline from the August lows.
