By Sagar Dua The benchmark Brent crude oil price is moving in a downward trend below 63.00, with trading volumes remaining stable against the backdrop of fresh sector forecasts from Fitch Ratings.

Commodities analysis looks at what drives the prices of raw materials like oil, gold, or wheat. Fundamentals mean supply and demand, production levels, weather, and geopolitics. Technicals come from the charts — trends, support and resistance zones, trading volume, and repeating patterns. By combining both, traders can gauge risk, spot opportunities, and decide when it makes sense to buy or sell.
