on May 10, 2019 | By Stuart McPhee | UKOil

In the last few weeks oil has eased lower from six months highs above $75.50 down below the current key $71 level.

Surprisingly this level didn’t provide much support in the last few weeks as it has now been broken back through.

on May 8, 2019 | By Stuart McPhee | DJIA, US30

In the last week or so the US30 index has eased lower and fallen sharply in the last 24 hours back to the current key level of 26000. Prior to this decline, the index had done well in the last few weeks to steadily move higher and finally push through the resistance at the key 26000 level and move to a six month high above 26600. Despite its fall in the last week, it has now consolidated in the last few weeks and is receiving support from 26000 allowing it to remain above this key level, for the time being.
