While Cook supported the Feds decision to keep interest rates unchanged at the July policy meeting, she cautioned that the longer inflation remains above the Feds target, the more difficult it will be to curb it. Speaking at an event in Alaska, Cook said, "If I dont see signs of a sustained decline in inflation anytime soon, Im prepared to act. With inflation above target for five consecutive years, the risk of inflation becoming entrenched in price and wage-setting behavior is rising, which will lead to more persistent inflation that we will find harder to manage." However, Cook indicated that the waning impact of tariffs, the potential for lower oil prices, and easing pressures related to the AI boom might provide a buffer for inflation, thus necessitating policy tightening. She stated that her primary task remains getting inflation back to the Feds target level.SanDisk (SNDK.O) shares fell more than 3% in after-hours trading in the U.S.

WTI Price Analysis: Rebounds from 50% Fibo./100-period SMA support confluence

The price of WTI crude oil regains some positive momentum on the opening day of a new week and maintains its position above the $85.00 threshold heading into the European session.

 

From a technical standpoint, the commodity defends the $84.50-$84.25 confluence combining the 4-hour 100-period SMA and the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the $76.08-$92.63 advance. The aforementioned region should now serve as a crucial turning point, which, if decisively broken, will pave the way for a continuation of the recent rapid drop from the highest level since August reached last week.

 

In the interim, any future advance is likely to encounter resistance between $85.70-$85.75. This is closely followed by the $86.00 mark and the 38.2% Fibonacci level in the $86.30 region, over which current prices might reach $87.00. The momentum may extend into the $87.45 barrier en route to the $88.00 mark and the 23.6% Fibonacci level, in the $88.55-$88.60 supply zone.

 

In contrast, weakening below the $85.00 round number may continue to find support near the intersection of $84.50 and $84.25. A convincing break below will serve as a new catalyst for pessimistic traders and pave the way for further declines. The price of WTI crude oil might possibly decline below $84,00 and test the next key support between $83.40-$83.35 before falling to the $83.00 level.
