/
Saudi-oil-deal-technical-trade-note-OPEC

Commodities have become the focal point of investors yet again as global growth concerns continue to put a damper on risk appetite.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the commodities:

Gold

We have seen the precious metal gain momentum since November 2018 in a steady up trend (red line) to the 2019 highs of $1326/ oz. The price action is currently consolidating above the $1306/ oz with a possible bull flag forming which would suggest another leg higher. A possible higher target might be back to the recent highs of $1326/ oz.

  • Also considering seasonality we might expect gold to push higher as traditionally February is a positive month for gold with an average return of 2%.

The price action is trading well above the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and a possible move lower to $1297/oz if the $1306/ oz support level does not hold.

Brent Crude Oil

Looking back at our previous Commodity Report we can see that Brent Crude Oil is playing out as we expect. Still waiting on a daily close above the $64.16/ barrel which coincides with the 38.2 Fibonacci Retracement level. 

  • The price action is trading well above the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) (blue line) which support the move higher.
  • Price action has broken the Inverse Head & Shoulders (IH&S) technical pattern which supports the reversal of the price action.
