​​​WTI comes off six-month highs as Middle east tensions ease ​ ​

WTI crude oil front month futures prices have come off last week’s 87.22 six-month highs as tensions in the Middle East are easing with Israel being pressured to withdraw more troops from Southern Gaza and peace talks with Hamas are restarting in Egypt. ​Front month WTI futures gapped lower and slid to Monday’s intraday low at 84.25 before trying to fill their gap with Friday’s 85.98 low. ​A fall through 84.25 would put the 83.12 mid-March high back on the cards.
