COMMODITIES: Bull Cycle in Gold Remains Key Driver

Feb-21 09:48

A bull cycle in Gold remains in play and the yellow metal continues to hold on to the bulk of its recent gains. Fresh highs once again confirm a resumption of the uptrend and maintain the bullish price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. WTI futures traded firmer Wednesday, before fading into the close and confirming the still-present bear threat. Earlier this week, price pulled back from the recent high and has again traded below the 50-day EMA - at $71.62.
