Brent bounced from Tuesday's lows and returned above the $90 level as traders grow wary of the lack of progress in Middle East peace negotiations. Rising supply-risk perception supports higher prices, though the move so far is only a rebound from recent lows.

Catalysts
  • ▲ Growing wariness among traders about stalled Middle East peace-deal negotiations
Risk Factors
  • ▼ If the Middle East peace talks regain progress, the risk premium supporting prices could fade
  • ▼ The rebound only recovers Tuesday's losses; acceptance above $90 is not yet established

The pair sits at 0.8367, holding above support at 0.8360 with mildly bullish RSI and MACD, but repeatedly fails to break above 0.8370 as recovering Brent prices offset positive risk sentiment. Mixed technicals and thin UK calendar ahead of Thursday's Q3 GDP leave direction balanced.

Catalysts
  • • Thursday's UK Q3 GDP release expected to show moderate growth on a strong manufacturing sector
  • • German October HICP confirmed at 2.8% year-on-year, easing from 3.3% in September
Risk Factors
  • • A drop below 0.8360 support would expose the 0.8335 area and year-to-date lows near 0.8320
  • • Resistance at 0.8370, the October 28 high near 0.8380 and the October 26 high near 0.8400 caps upside
