West Texas Intermediate long-term chart

It is a good idea to step back and look at a chart for West Texas Intermediate with a wide-angle lens. For 2015 and 2016, the 200-day moving averages defined the major downtrend and resistance on each of the near-term uptrends. The major trend, intermediate trend and near-term trend are all down. WTI will test major support at $35. Like I said before in a previous post, the spigots are wide open. A break below $35 will have a negative effect on world indexes. Banks have exposure to large loans given to the shale plays in the boom years.

West Texas Intermediate will test major support at $35

The spigots are wide open. The major trend is down, the intermediate trend is down and the near-term trend just turned down. WTI will test major support at $35. The near-term downtrend in the U.S. dollar should be a plus for WTI but right now traders are concentrating on supply news out of the Middle East.

Barrick Gold 3-year weekly chart

The candlestick chart for Barrick Gold shows support at $17 which is near the 50-day moving average. A break below $17 would have some tentative support at $16. After that, it would be an elevator ride down to $12 near the 200-day moving average. I just published a chart for gold showing the $1200 support zone. A break for gold below $1200 would presage a break below $17 for Barrick Gold.

Copper 6-month daily chart

The break below the lateral trading band for copper indicates a major test at the (2.14 – 2.15) support zone. This is one of the many charts I have published on copper. Reference the post on March 20, 2016. The price of copper underpins the recent rally in mining stocks. Copper is also a proxy for the overall view on the the direction of the world economy: particularly the view on China. Copper has an inverse relationship with the U.S. dollar but in the end it is the perceived  supply and demand balance that determines the price for copper.
