Falling Treasury yields and weaker dollar provided material support to oil markets.
Natural gas remains under pressure amid lack of positive catalysts. Currently, natural gas is trying to settle below the $2.50 level. In case this attempt is successful, natural gas will move towards the next support level, which is located at $2.35.
WTI oil rebounded towards the $77 level as traders used the recent pullback as an opportunity to increase their long positions. U.S. dollar has lost ground against a broad basket of currencies while Treasury yields suffered a strong pullback, which was bullish for oil markets.
Brent oil gained upside momentum and moved towards the $83 level. RSI remains in the moderate territory, and there is plenty of room to gain additional momentum in case the right catalysts emerge. A move above the $83 level will open the way to the test of the resistance at the 50 EMA at $84.
