WTIC Oil, weekly2


Summary

*Oil is set for a sig' net weekly gain. First blue candle in a fair few weeks. First target is 40/42 zone. Any move >42.. bodes for much higher to the $50 threshold in the spring. Were that to occur, it'd massively help the broader market mood.

Aside from the weekly jobs data, there really isn't a reason to expect anything of significance from today's half session.. as we close early at 1pm.

Certainly though... the recent underlying trend from the last few days - such as in energy, will likely continue.
