COMMODITIES: WTI Rallies on Latest Russian Sanctions Pressure

Oct-23 08:36

A sharp pullback in Gold this week appears corrective - for now. Note that the trend is overbought and a deeper retracement would allow this condition to unwind. Support at the 20-day EMA, at $4037.8, has been pierced. A bearish theme in WTI futures remains intact despite the latest recovery - a correction. Moving average studies are in a bear-mode position, highlighting a dominant downtrend.

  • WTI Crude up $2.31 or +3.95% at $60.75
  • Natural Gas up $0.01 or +0.23% at $3.46
  • Gold spot up $13.74 or +0.34% at $4113.99
  • Copper up $8.55 or +1.71% at $508.7
  • Silver up $0.67 or +1.37% at $49.1562
  • Platinum up $22.48 or +1.38% at $1655.17
