Brent crude hits new five-week high
Brent reached a five-week high yesterday, with fears over a shift in strategy from Saudi Arabia being allayed after early comments from the new energy minister.
The four-hour chart highlights a trendline break off the back of this rise out of a consolidation zone. However, it is also worthwhile noting the wider downtrend remains intact, with the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement at $63.15 a key resistance level up ahead. For now, the short-term bullish theme looks like it could continue, with the reaction to that Fibonacci level likely to prove telling. On the flip side, we would need to see a break below $61.32 and $59.23 to bring the bearish picture back into play.
