​​​Brent crude oil capped by downtrend line ​

​Brent crude oil continues to trade in low volatility whilst remaining capped by its April-to-June downtrend line at $77.48 per barrel as traders mull over the outlook for energy demand amid top importer China’s lacklustre growth. ​While the next higher $77.51 to $78.52 resistance area, the early May to early June highs, caps, a return towards the middle of the recent sideways trading range looks probable. ​Minor support below Wednesday’s low at $75.47 sits at Tuesday’s $74.68 trough, a fall through which would push the $73.37 mid-May low back to the fore.

​Silver continues to range trade in low volatility

​The silver price remains below its two-month downtrend line at $23.96, having yesterday revisited but failed to overcome last week’s high at $24.02 on a daily chart closing basis as the US dollar briefly depreciated. ​While the $24.02 to $24.05 resistance zone caps, a retest of Monday’s low at $23.25 may still ensue, a fall through which would target the March-to-June uptrend line at $23.14. ​If it were to be slipped through, the May low at $22.68 and the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $22.23 would be back in sight. ​A rise and daily chart close above $24.05 would put the late April low at $24.50 on the map.

​Copper price remains capped by technical resistance

​For the past four days, the price of copper has been capped by the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $8,381 per ton as investors grapple with the global economic outlook in an environment of ongoing monetary tightening. ​While no rise and daily chart close above Wednesday’s high at $8,417 is made on a daily chart closing basis, a slip back towards Monday’s low at $8,169 may unfold. ​Below it lies more significant support at the $8,089 mid-May low.
