WTI still targets the $75.00 mark
Prices of the WTI extended the rebound from recent lows in the vicinity of the $65.00 region on Thursday. The move was amidst the continuation of the uptrend in open interest while volume kept shrinking. That said, further upside is not ruled out, although some consolidation might kick in before. Against that, the next target of note remains at last week’s peaks around the $75.00 mark per barrel.
