Gold
Following positive U.S. unemployment data, gold prices dropped by approximately 1.50% during last week’s trading.
Markets are awaiting the Consumer Price Index data on Wednesday.
Technically, prices have reached the critical support levels of 2277-2287, making a rise to 2317-2330 likely.
Oil
West Texas Intermediate crude futures stabilized around $75 per barrel,
marking losses for the third consecutive week due to supply increase concerns and expectations of declining global demand.
Technically, prices rebounded from the 78% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward move since the beginning of the year,
touching a price cluster area at $76.
If prices rise above the key level of $79, it could trigger a rise to $84-$87.
However, a clear break below the recent low would indicate a continued decline to the main support of around $68.
