Brent

Brent quotes are above the 200-day Moving Average on D1, which indicates the prevalence of an uptrend. The RSI has rebounded from the support line. In this situation, the quotes are expected to rise above 5/8 (90.62), after which they might reach the resistance at 6/8 (93.75). The scenario could be cancelled by breaching the 4/8 (87.50) level. In this case, Brent quotes could drop to the support at 3/8 (84.38).

On M15, the upper boundary of the VoltyChannel is broken, which increases the probability of a further price rise.

S&P 500

The S&P 500 quotes are in the overbought area, while the RSI is approaching the resistance line. In this situation, a test of +1/8 (5156.2) is expected, after which the quotes could rebound from this level and drop to the support at 7/8 (4843.8). The scenario might be cancelled by a breakout of the +1/8 (5156.2) level, in which case the S&P 500 quotes could rise to the resistance at +2/8 (5312.5).

On M15, after a rebound from +1/8 (5156.2) on D1, the price decline might be additionally supported by a breakout of the lower boundary of the VoltyChannel.

Gold remains offered, still below $4,100

Gold struggles to extend Thursday’s rebound and navigates below the $4,100 mark per troy ounce on Friday. Uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict limits the precious metal’s upside, which is also under pressure amid rising US Treasury yields across the curve.

Five sessions, one round trip: Why the whipsaw is exactly what Warsh ordered

Markets opened July with a December hike as the base case and spent five trading sessions unlearning and relearning it. A 57K payrolls print bled the tightening bets out of the strip; a re-shut Strait of Hormuz is pushing them back in. Wednesday's minutes from the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting landed mid-round-trip, describing a world that had already stopped existing.
