WTI $88.65 -0.87% | Bias: NEUTRAL-BEARISH | Key levels: $87 support / $91 resistance. Crude continues weekly decline despite production concerns, weighed by demand uncertainty. Brent $100.14 -0.18% holding triple-digit pricing but losing momentum from recent highs. Brent-WTI spread at $11.49 remains historically elevated, reflecting persistent Mideast risk premium and logistics differentials. Natural Gas $3.08 +0.46% rebounds modestly after strong weekly gain of 3.81% on storage dynamics. 🌾 AGRICULTURE Wheat $696.75 +0.65% building on 2.05% weekly advance as supply concerns persist from Black Sea region and adverse weather impacts key growing areas.

LONG: Silver entry $61.00 | SL $59.50 | TP $64.50 — outperforming precious complex with industrial demand support and positive technicals above breakout level. LONG: Copper entry $6.65 | SL $6.45 | TP $6.95 — momentum strength on infrastructure spending expectations and China stimulus measures driving base metals rally. SHORT: WTI Crude entry $89.00 | SL $91.50 | TP $85.00 — bearish weekly structure intact, demand concerns outweighing supply risks, resistance overhead.
Escalating Middle East conflict could spike energy prices and disrupt regional supply chains, invalidating bearish oil positioning. Unexpected hawkish central bank pivot would pressure industrial commodities and strengthen dollar headwinds across the complex.
