BRENT

Oil prices climbed above averages yesterday after a downtrend, supported by strong consumer confidence data in the US. The American Petroleum Institute's announcement of a 2.5 million barrel decrease in stocks could not prevent limited profit sales. The stock figures to be announced by the US Energy Information Administration and finally the Fed's monetary policy statement can be followed during the day. As long as pricing remains at and above the 81.50 - 82.00 support in the upcoming process, the upward trend may be one step ahead. In possible increases, 82.50 and 83.00 levels can be targeted. In possible decreases, as long as the 81.50 - 82.00 support remains current, new upside potential may occur. Therefore, it may be necessary to see the course below 81.50 and 4-hour closings for the continuation of the downward desire. In this case, the 81.00 and 80.50 levels may come to the agenda. Support: 81.50 Resistance: 83.00
