Gold prices logged their fifth-straight win, on the other hand, as well as a fresh four-month high. As a result, June-dated gold rose $13.50 cents, or 0.7%, to settle at $1,881.30 an ounce.

Oil

The price of oil appears to have established a double-top formation following the failed attempt to test the March high ($67.98) as it snaps the opening range for May. In the overnight electronic session, the July crude oil is currently trading at 6441 which is 109 points lower. On the Crude Oil front, tomorrow is the Last Trading Day in the June contract. Weighing down the commodity was new Energy Information Administration (EIA) data, which showed an increase in U.S. crude inventories.
Oil prices closed at their lowest level in over three weeks on Wednesday. In response, June-dated crude fell $2.13, or 3.3%, to settle at $63.36 per barrel. This complements the US Weekly Gasoline Import Forecast that is emailed and posted to Eikon each Tuesday. Do not be surprised if we punch through $70 a barrel by Memorial Day.
