Single Bank Option, Deutsche:

• DBK (20th Jun) 19.4p, bought for 1.34 in 3k.

• On the commodity front, a bull cycle in Gold remains in play and the yellow metal continues to hold on to the bulk of its recent gains. Fresh highs once again confirm a resumption of the uptrend and maintain the bullish price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Moving average studies are in a bull mode position too, highlighting a dominant uptrend. Sights are on the $2962.2, a 2.00 projection of the Nov 14 - Dec 12 - 19 price swing. The first key support to watch is $2833.2, the 20-day EMA.
• In the oil space, WTI futures continue to trade below last week’s high and price has again traded below the 50-day EMA - at $71.62. Attention is on $70.20 (pierced), the Feb 6 low. A clear break of it would undermine a bullish theme and confirm a breach of the 50-day EMA. This would strengthen a bearish threat and open $67.75, the Dec 20 ‘24 low. Key S/T resistance has been defined at $74.06, the Feb 3 high. A move above this level would reinstate a bull theme.
