Crude Oil Futures: Further gains not ruled out

WTI focused on $84.00 and above
After hitting fresh 2021 highs at the beginning of the week, prices of the WTI ended up in the negative territory amidst shrinking open interest. That said, a sustainable retracement appears out of favour for the time being while the commodity re-targets the $84.00 mark per barrel and above in the near term.
