WTI keeps falling, $53.00 (and below) on sight
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The barrel of the West Texas Intermediate is taking a significant hit today, retreating to the area of the $53.00 mark, levels last traded in early April.
WTI in 2-month lows
Increasing jitters on the uncertainty surrounding Greece following the ‘No’ win on Sunday keep taking a toll on crude oil prices. In the same direction, the prospects of a deal in the Iranian nuclear talks could well see its sanctions lifted and its output adding to the already supply glut, exerting further downside pressure on prices.
Another bad news for crude oil remains the potential weaker demand from China, in light of the recent and sharp sell offs in its stock markets, which could be anticipating a slowdown in the domestic economy.
WTI levels to watch
At the moment WTI is retreating 6.80% at 53.06 with the next support at $51.78 (low Apr.10) followed by $49.47 (low Apr.6) and finally $48.11 (low Apr.2). On the other hand, a break above $56.78 (high Jul.3) would aim for $57.95 (high Jul.2) and then $58.98 (high Jul.1).
