Good News From US Gold Price USD1,000 Remain Strong

Yesterday sees the release of the initial jobless claims and continuing claims data in the US - lagging indicators which show that the US economy is indeed recovering. The market expects another decline in jobless claims - albeit only a small 10K fall. Meanwhile, US Treasury yields are rising steadily again, with the 10y yields just below 3.50%. Equities are also finding good support. On top of this, the futures market still expects monetary tightening in the US only by Q2:10 indicating that liquidity should remain adequate (currently the options market is pricing a rise of 25bp in Q1:10).

















For gold, resistance to a sustainable move above USD1,000 remains strong. Gold has slipped to the mid-USD980’s yesterday after failing to move higher. What makes the resistance even more remarkable is that gold has failed to move higher despite the dollar falling almost 1% against the euro yesterday.

However, the positive sign is that gold is also finding good support in the mid-USD980’s. While the recent move might have been to much to fast, most of the report maintain that gold could move closer towards USD1,100 as we head towards the end of the year and also expect more weakness in the dollar.

While gold is building resistance against dollar weakness at the moment so Gold price likely support at USD990 and USD983, and resistance at USD1,004 and USD1,015. For Malaysia if USD value drop the profit of gold sale in RM will drop.

Gold edges up on weaker dollar, dovish U.S. Fed policy bets

Image
 Gold edged higher on Monday, helped by a weaker dollar and expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will reiterate its dovish monetary policy stance this week. Spot gold was up by 0.1% at $1,943.58 per ounce. U.S. gold futures rose 0.1% to $1,950.10 per ounce. “Gold is firm on the basis that the Fed could adopt a further dovish message with respect to average inflation targeting,” said Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets UK. “If you want to have a policy of average inflation targeting, you’re going to have to go into detail as to how you are going to arrive at that particular outcome.” The dollar retreated on Mond ay, bolstering gold’s appeal for investors holding other currencies, ahead of the Fed’s policy decision due on Wednesday. “If inflation forecasts remain at 2% or below, this could offer gold a tailwind as the zero-yielding metal thrives in a low-interest rate environment,” said FXTM analyst Lukman Otunuga.

Gold Price Futures (GC) Technical Analysis – Trader Reaction to Minor 50% Level at $1954.80 Sets the Tone

Image
  Gold futures closed lower on Thursday but up from its low of the session as investors battled a number of factors including U.S. economic data and outside market influences. Earlier in the session, gold fell over 1%, as positive economic data elevated hopes for a quick recovery while dampening the investment appeal of the precious metal. On Thursday, December Comex gold futures settled at $1937.40, down $11.60 or -0.60%. On the data front, a drop in U.S. jobless claims reported Thursday and positive manufacturing data reported earlier in the week are taking some shine off gold. A weaker Euro is also weighing on dollar-denominated gold by driving up thU.S. Dollar Index. U.S. weekly jobless claims fell below 1 million last week for the second time since the pandemic started, but did not signal a strong recovery in the labor market because the drop largely reflected a change in the methodology used to address seasonal fluctuations in data. Earlier in the week, a report s
