Oil prices rose $.22 to settle at $41.29 in a somewhat directionless week, yet the up-trend has been maintained and new highs put up.
The weekly crude oil chart below helps take out some of the daily noise to show a narrow-ranged but slowly upward ticking market with higher highs and higher lows over the last four weeks.
However, traders seem reluctant to bite too hard on any piece of economic or coronavirus news as the headlines shift day to day.
Have a great weekend everyone!
