13:45 BST - Little change, as prices extend consolidation within resistance at congestion around 159.00 and the 159.25 high of 19 May. Daily readings continue to rise, highlighting room for further gains in the coming sessions. But mixed weekly charts should limit any fresh break above here in renewed selling interest/consolidation within multi-week distribution beneath 160.00. Meanwhile, support remains at congestion around 158.00. A close beneath here, if seen, would turn sentiment neutral and prompt fresh consolidation above 157.00.
