S&PJune contract

Emini S&P holds what is now the 3 week high at 2677/79. Shorts need stops above 2685. A sustained break above here is needed to target 2687/89, 2694/97 & a selling opportunity at 2700/05, with stops above 2715.

There is quite important resistance at 2675/80 & failure here this week targets 2665/2660 & minor trend line support at 2655 before better support at 2650/47. A break below 2640 signals further weakness to 2632/30. A break below 2625 then targets 2618/16 & the most important support of the week at 2613/10.

WTI Crude May contract

WTI Crude lower today in overbought conditions. First support at 6640/30 but below here targets 6600 before best support today at 6550/45. Longs need stops below 6520.

Minor resistance at 6715/20 with 8 month trend line & last week's high at 6760/76. A break above 6795/99 targets 6835/40, perhaps as far as 6875/80. On further gains look for 6910 & 6950/55.

EUR/USD clings to daily gains, still below 1.1900

EUR/USD manages to reverse two daily pullbacks in a row and advances modestly on Thursday, hovering around the 1.1880 zone amid the inconclusive price action around the US Dollar. Meanwhile, weekly Initial Claims rose more than expected last week, while attention is expected to shift to the upcoming US CPI data on Friday.

GBP/USD picks up pace, hits 1.3640

GBP/USD trades with modest gains around 1.3640 so far on Thursday. Indeed, Cable looks to leave behind the weakness seen in the first half of the week in a context of an equally erratic performance in the Greenback and disappoting UK data releases.

Gold stays offered below $5,100

Gold keeps the choppy trade well in place on Thursday, navigating the area below the $5,100 mark per troy ounce amid the lack of clear direction in the Greenback, declining US Treasury yields across the curve and caution ahead of Friday’s publication of US CPI.
