Commodity Corner
Crude Oil futures are currently trading near 5,259, hovering close to short-term support after multiple rejections from the descending trendline. The price continues to move in a lower high–lower low formation, signaling ongoing bearish momentum. Immediate support lies at 5,230–5,200, and a breakdown below this zone could trigger further downside toward 5,050–5,000.On the upside, 5,430–5,450 acts as a strong resistance. A sustained breakout above this level would indicate a reversal, opening the path toward 5,600. Until then, rallies may face selling pressure at higher levels.
In the last session, Gold closed at 119,957. Gold futures are trading near 120,700, showing mild weakness after facing rejection near the descending trendline resistance. The broader structure indicates that gold remains under selling pressure below 121,500, with strong support seen near 118,350. A breakout above 121,500–121,800 may trigger fresh upside momentum toward 124,400, while failure to cross this level could lead to continued consolidation or a slide toward 119,000–118,350. The trend remains neutral-to-bearish in the short term, with traders watching for a decisive breakout to confirm direction.
Natural Gas futures are currently trading 386, maintaining a strong bullish structure after a breakout from a falling wedge pattern. The recent breakout above 363 confirms bullish momentum, with price action now consolidating just below the next resistance zone at 394–400. Momentum indicators suggest mild overbought conditions, hinting at a possible short-term pullback toward 363–355, which would act as a strong demand zone. However, if prices sustain above 382–385, continuation toward 410–420 cannot be ruled out.

A Great Company ≠ A Great Investment
It’s a critical investment fallacy: a great company does not automatically equal a great investment. Even strong blue-chip firms can deliver poor returns if purchased at an inflated valuation (high P/E).
What Schools and Colleges Don’t Teach About Investing – The Behavioral Side
While schools teach the mechanics of finance and earning money, they fail to teach the most critical factor in investing: human behavior. Investing success is driven less by spreadsheets and more by Emotional Intelligence (EQ).
