June WTI Threatens $100 as the Strait Slowly Cracks OpenJune WTI crude oil futures are trading near $101.00 Thursday and the psychological $100 level is under threat for the first time since the rally began. That is not a minor technical development. If Trump and Xi found a way to move the Strait of Hormuz conversation forward in Beijing, this could be the session that changes the near-term picture.

<p>June WTI crude oil futures are trading near $101.00 Thursday and the psychological $100 level is under threat for the first time since the rally began.&nbsp;That is not a minor technical development.&nbsp;If Trump and Xi found a way to move the Strait of Hormuz conversation forward in Beijing, this could be the session that changes the near-term picture.</p>

Crude oil futures test $100 as Hormuz shipping resumes, while OPEC demand cuts and easing supply fears pressure WTI and Brent prices.

The 10-year yield in America is dropping a bit early on Thursday, which could lead to moves in other markets.

Bitcoin’s broken link with chip stocks may hide a bigger risk: if the AI rally cracks, Strategy’s BTC buying power could become the market’s next major stress test.

Silver extends its rally as strong Asian demand, bullish technical patterns, and a falling gold-to-silver ratio support XAGUSD despite dollar and yield pressure.

April CPI hotter than expected has given the Dollar fresh support by cooling rate-cut optimism. DXY consolidates near $98.50, EUR/USD holds $1.171 trendline, and GBP/USD defends $1.351 channel floor. Technical outlook and trade ideas ahead of further US data.

Gold and silver consolidate as investors weigh sticky inflation data against the ongoing ceasefire. Gold bounces at $4,697 support while silver rides strong ascending momentum toward $88. Central bank buying and robust industrial demand provide a positive long-term backdrop.

Crude oil futures hold above $100 as the IEA warns of a historic supply crisis and falling inventories tighten the global oil outlook.
