Oil costs stay effectively supported, climbing above $65/bbl and threatening an extension of their restoration from the April/Could lows. Copper costs are weak, rolling over following indicators of exhaustion (final Thursday’s taking pictures star doji) and a formidable rally from early Could. Lastly, gold is providing little when it comes to path in the intervening time, extending its tight consolidation for a 3rd consecutive session because it trades across the mid-point of the flat vary that has outlined its worth motion because it reached its document excessive in late April.”
