For the 24 hours to 23:00 GMT, Crude Oil marginally rose against the USD and closed at USD49.30 per barrel.

In the Asian session, at GMT0300, the pair is trading at 49.42, with the oil trading 0.24% higher against the USD from yesterday’s close.

The pair is expected to find support at 48.92, and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 48.41. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 49.88, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 50.33.

Crude oil is showing convergence with its 20 Hr and 50 Hr moving averages.
