Now To Buy Gold or Not?

Should you buy gold or not? That’s the question and everyone seems to have an answer. Unfortunately they’re never the same. Some analysts fear the low prices of Gold that we’ve seen in the past month will surely signal another recession. Others say that it was just a fluke and justify it by the fact that the price of gold is improving. Slowly yes, but still improving.

Gold prices are currently up $22.00 to $1,475.60 an ounce. Considering it was well below $1,400 an ounce this time two weeks ago, many investors are breathing a sign of relief as it’s steadily rising. If this trend continues, gold will be over $1,500 an ounce in no time.

What investors need to understand is that like with anything, gold will have their good days and bad days. Stop-losses will occur and profits will be made. But no way is it a “sure thing” that if you invest in gold you will come out richer than you ever thought imaginable. If you come into the gold business expecting it to be easy, than you’ve been sorely mistaken. If gold prices increase what’s the point? Everyone would be owning stakes in gold. Fortunately or unfortunately, as an investor you must take the good with the bad. Investors today are learning that the hard way. But hopefully they will forget their current sorrows when gold eventually gets back up to trading at $1,800 an ounce in the future.

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

 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
