BRENT CRUDE
Brent Crude tanked (pardon the pun) this week. It gapped up to start the week at $77.76 (as expected) and then it was a case of all being downhill from there. If you were long oil over the last weekend, then I am sorry for your loss.
Israel & Iran tensions are strained but died down considerably.
Iran will NOT close the Strait of Hormuz. They can threaten it all they want but the chances are that they would be annihilated should they choose to do so,
The underlying fundamentals are not good for Brent Crude at present.
Below are the 1 hour, daily and weekly charts.

PALLADIUM
Arguably the most interest and overlooked market this week. Palladium is UP +$89.37 (+8.51%) on the week, but it is the strength of the weekly candle that is of the most interest!
We have to go back to October 2024 to see a weekly candle to the upside that beats the % movement that we have seen this week.
There is plenty going on and it would not surprise me to see an explosion to the upside, purely because no one seems to be paying attention to it!
