CRUDE OIL & GOLD TALKING POINTS: Crude oil pricesedge up in risk-on trade, but key resistance held API inventory flow data rounds out barebones economic calendar Gold prices retreat as markets eyeFOMCminutes, Jackson Hole
Friday'srisk-on sentiment tiltcarried through Monday's session, with crude oil prices rising alongside stocks. A parallel rise in bond yields undermined the appeal of non-interest-bearing assets and weighed on gold. Impressively, theUS Dollar recovered some lost grounddespite its recently anti-risk profile.
All the same, the benchmark commodities made little progress from near-term ranges, asexpected . That seems to reflect traders withholding conviction ahead of critical event risk: minutes from July's FOMC and ECB meetings as well as the Fed-hosted economic symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
The weekly API inventory flow report rounds out the barebones data docket. It will be sized up against expectations of a 1.22-million-barrel drawdown in US stockpiles expected to be reported in official EIA statistics due Wednesday. Absent dramatic deviation, a strong response from prices seems unlikely.

CRUDE OIL TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
Crude oil prices remain pinned below resistance capping gains since late April, now at 58.30. A daily close above that targets the 60.04-84 zone. Alternatively, a move below the congestion area running down through 53.95 sets the stage to challenge support near the $50/bbl figure once again.
