Crude Oil Futures: A deeper pullback seems not favoured

WTI: Rally expected to resume soon
Thursday’s retracement in prices of the WTI is seen as temporary only amidst shrinking open interest and volume. Against this, the rally in the commodity is forecast to resume in the very near term and with the next target at the recent highs past the $116.00 mark per barrel, an area last visited back in September 2008.
