NFXStreet reports that according to Karen Jones from Commerzbank, Brent Crude Oil slips back towards minor support at 16.65 but is expected to hold above 15.98 this week at least.

“ICE Brent Crude Oil slid back to the October 2001 low at 16.65 below which it found support at 15.98 before rising back the April 23 high at 23.22. From there it is coming off again but for this week at least we expect Brent Crude Oil to remain above its 15.98 multiyear low and range trade between it and the 25.00 region.”
