South Korea’s top court voted unanimously to dismiss the country’s impeached president, Yoon Suk Yeol, on Friday, clearing the way for the key American ally to elect a new leader after months of political turmoil that has tested its democratic guardrails.
In a ruling that millions of South Koreans watched on live television, the Constitutional Court’s eight justices endorsed the National Assembly’s decision to impeach Mr. Yoon for his failed attempt to place his country under martial law in December. With that ruling, Mr. Yoon, who had been suspended from office since the parliamentary vote on Dec. 14, was formally unseated.
Natural Gas Price Forecast: Bullish Reversal Signals Further Upside Potential
Natural gas held up well on Thursday, given global market turmoil following...
Natural gas held up well on Thursday, given global market turmoil following a new announcement on tariffs from the U.S. It looks like a bearish pullback low was established at $3.93 this week, as a bullish reversal of an inside day triggered on Thursday. Subsequently, a three-day high of $4.20 was reached before an intraday pullback began.
The bullish one-day reversal also reclaimed the 20-day MA at $4.07. A daily close above Wednesday’s high of $4.09 will confirm the bullish reversal, and a daily close above the 20-Day line will confirm that breakout. Although weakness followed the daily high, natural gas continues to trade in the top half of the day’s trading range defined by the $4.09 midpoint. Natural Gas PricingHERE
Crude oil loses most since July 2022 as tariffs, OPEC output hike make 'perfect bearish cocktail'
Crude oil fell sharply on Thursday to reach a pullback low of $66.17, before signs of support were seen....
Crude oil fell sharply on Thursday to reach a pullback low of $66.17, before signs of support were seen. That low was a 17-day low, meaning that the decline took out the lows of the prior 16 days with little hesitation. Crude oil fell for most of Thursday’s session until a minor bounce started heading towards the close for the day.
Nonetheless, at the time of this writing, sellers remain in control with crude oil continuing to trade in the lower third of the day’s price range. This very bearish behavior triggered a bearish reversal on the weekly chart and established a bearish outside week. A weekly close tomorrow, below last week’s low of $68.25, would confirm the bearish weekly signal.
