WTI Crude Oil and Natural Gas Forecast July 5, 2016: DailyForex

Published on 4 Jul 2016
The WTI Crude Oil markets did very little during the day on Monday, as American traders were away for the holiday. However, it does continue to show a bit of bearishness, and I believe that we are going to continue to drift a little bit lower. Ultimately, the market should try to reach down to the $46 handle, which of course is a supportive “floor” in this market. A break down below there would send this market much lower. Any rally at this point in time should be a selling opportunity and less of course we can make a fresh, new high, something that could be a bit difficult. A break above the downtrend line should be a buying opportunity as well. However, if we break down below the $46 level, this market should fall apart completely.

#UK - Lawyers launch Brexit legal challenge.'Brexit is an example of what nationalists and populists can do' : FRANCE 24 English

Published on 4 Jul 2016
The British government faces a legal challenge to stop it beginning the process of leaving the European Union without an act of parliament, a law firm announced Sunday. Lawyers at Mishcon de Reya argue that the British government cannot trigger Article 50, the legal process for leaving the EU, without a parliamentary debate and vote authorising it to do so.
'Brexit is an example of what nationalists and populists can do'
Published on 4 Jul 2016
This week we focus on the fallout from Brexit. Our guest is Bulgarian President Rossen Plevneliev. He is saddened by the result but he urges the European family to stand together in this time of crisis.

As Bulgarian head of state he points out that Brexit and the referendum is an example of how direct democracy "can help but can also create problems for democracies if it falls into the hands of nationalists". He denounces the way that politicians misled people with "false" arguments during the Brexit campaign and declares that "Brexit is also an example of what nationalists and populists can do".

He compares migration to an earthquake that you can’t stop but that you can at least try to control, by protecting the borders but also by addressing the issues in Syria and in Iraq.

#Ukraine - National Police Chief Stages Two Wars: Against criminals and corrupt officials: UKRAINE TODAY

Published on 4 Jul 2016
In July 2015 the Ukrainian government started to gradually introduce the brand-new police force in the country's cities.

Now, almost a year since, we are joined by Ukraine's police chief Khatia Dekanoidze to discuss this major reform of the Ukrainian government. 

Khatia Dekanoidze: "I can't say that of course that all police officers are fair right now – of course they are not. But we're trying to get rid of the corrupted officers.

I can face this pressure or stress every day, because it's my everyday job. And nobody can't deny that this is a tough job. Of course, it is tough. Because on the one hand we have to fight against criminals, and on the other hand – do some reforms.

There are a lot of signs of sabotage, resistance from the system, especially at the first phase, when we started"

WTI Crude Oil and Natural Gas Forecast July 4, 2016: DailyForex

Published on 1 Jul 2016
The WTI Crude Will market rallied during the course of the day on Friday after initially falling. However, we are still well below the $50 level, an area that I believe is going to be rather resistive. I also have a downtrend line drawn on the chart that I believe is of significance, so at this point in time I don’t necessarily by this contract although it would necessarily surprise me if we got a little bit higher during the day. Remember, we will only have limited electronic trading during the day as the Americans will be celebrating Independence Day. Because of this, liquidity might be an issue so we could get sudden moves, but my experience has been that more often than not, we get nothing. With this, I am looking for some type of candle that I can trade on the daily chart but it probably won’t occur until Tuesday.
