Crude Oil Rebounds While Silver Hits 13-Year Highs

Crude Oil Rebounds While Silver Hits 13-Year Highs

As summer demand ramps up, FOREX.com’s Razan Hilal breaks down the bullish momentum behind oil and silver, two key commodities experiencing renewed volatility.

 

Key Takeaways

  • Crude oil breaks one-month consolidation and eyes $71 if $65 holds
  • Silver touches 13-year highs with potential to reach $50
  • Overbought RSI levels suggest short-term correction risk for silver

Market Outlook for Crude Oil and Silver

Crude oil has recently rebounded due to strong summer demand and a significant drop in inventories, pushing prices toward the key $65 resistance level. FOREX.com Market Analyst Razan Hilal explains that this breakout follows a one-month consolidation phase and positions oil for a potential extension to $71, assuming $65 holds. However, momentum remains mixed, with the RSI hovering below 50, keeping the broader outlook between positive and neutral. A drop below $60 could reverse the trend, opening downside risks toward $58 and $55. On the silver front, prices have surged to 13-year highs above $36 per ounce, testing a long-term trendline and resistance near $37.30. This level aligns with the projected target from an inverted head and shoulders pattern formed between August 2020 and April 2024. While the rally could extend to the $40 level or even $50 with continued momentum, overbought RSI readings suggest a possible pullback. Hilal identifies $35, $34.70, and $33.72 as key support levels where silver might stabilize before resuming its uptrend.

Of course, headlines from the Middle East and the Black Sea wars also have an ongoing influence on the markets. Stock futures posted gains this morning, while the VIX traded just below 15.

Perspective: Morning Commentary for August 11

August 11 – It was generally a quiet night for the markets until early this morning when a headline hit that Iran and Oman were close to reaching a deal. Stock futures rallied, while the dollar index followed Treasury yields lower, along with active selling in the energy- and food-based commodities. The headline had limited impact though in a world that has become skeptical of promises of peace. Stock futures remain steady to firmer at this hour, while the VIX trades near 16 – just above 2026 lows. The dollar index is trading near 99.8 this morning, after recovering from its early morning selloff over the following hour of trade. Yields on 10-year Treasuries are trading near 4.69%, while yields on 2-year Treasuries trade near 4.22%. WTI crude oil is trading near $82 per barrel at this hour, while Brent trades near $88. The grain and oilseed markets are mostly weaker, after failing to recover from this morning’s early selloff that started in the crude oil market.

Perspective: Morning Commentary for August 10

August 10 – The world commodity markets and economy remains at risk amid two wars this morning. Tensions continue to escalate in both the Middle East and the Black Sea – risking pulling other countries into the conflicts. Stocks are down modestly this morning as we start a week of trade in which we’ll see key inflation and retail sales data following a weak jobs report this past Friday. Yet, stocks continue to trade just below record high levels, with the VIX trading near 2026 lows just above 15. The dollar index is trading near 99.7. Yields on 10-year Treasuries are trading near 4.68%, while yields on 2-year Treasuries are trading near 4.23%. The energy and food-based markets are firmer today amid the escalated risks. WTI crude oil is trading near $80, while Brent trades near $85 per barrel. Double-digit gains in the winter wheat markets lead the way for higher grain and oilseed prices.
