COMMODITIES: Crude Rallies On Iran Tensions, Gold Gains
Jun-11 18:24
- Crude has moved higher today, with the risk-premium rising after Trump doubted progress towards a nuclear deal with Iran and Reuters reporting that the US plans to evacuate its embassy in Iraq.
- Meanwhile, US-China trade talks appeared constructive, adding support.
- WTI Jul 25 is up by 3.9% at $67.5/bbl.
- Trump said on a podcast released today that he was less confident around an Iran deal. Iran’s Foreign Minister had earlier posted on X that a nuclear deal was “within reach” and could be “achieved rapidly.”
- Iran has threatened to target US bases if nuclear talks fail, heightening fears of military conflict, Reuters said.
- Today’s gain has seen WTI futures piercing resistance at $67.14, a Fibonacci retracement. A clear break of this level would open $71.10 next, the Apr 2 high and key resistance.
- It is still possible that the recovery since early May is a correction. Moving average studies are in a bear-mode position, highlighting a dominant medium-term downtrend. Support to watch lies at $59.74, the May 30 low.
- Meanwhile, spot gold has rebounded by 0.6% to $3,344/oz after softer-than-expected US CPI data prompted further weakness in the US dollar.
- Analysts at Saxo Bank said that gold was supported by the benign inflation print, which lifted the prospect for a US rate cut, perhaps sooner than the October date currently priced.
- A bullish theme in gold remains intact, with attention still on $3,435.6 next, the May 7 high. A break of this hurdle would strengthen bullish conditions.
