Gold continues its ascent as it heads towards record highs
Gold is pushing higher yet again this morning, with an overnight retracement proving short-lived.
This intraday trend of higher highs and higher lows provides the blueprint for further upside, with a bullish outlook in play as long as the price remains above the recent low of $1863. To the upside, the main hurdle yet to overcome is provided by the all-time high of $1921.

Brent pushing higher after retracement into recent resistance
As expected, the recent pullback in Brent crude did manage to respect the breakout level of $43.91 to break higher once more, with the recent high of $45.01 now looking to come into play as resistance.
A break through that level continues the uptrend, pointing towards further upside to come from here. To the downside, a decline below $44.31 would raise questions over another potential short-term retracement starting to emerge.
