Gold Support is at US960 and US954. Resistance is at US969 – US970

Gold managed to consolidate above USD960 yesterday. However, it remains at levels where I think have seen strong resistance in the past year. Base on a report I read yesterday from Standard Bank, they is fairly a large volumes of scrap gold coming to the market. The scrap flow should provide some resistance. But, given the current high correlation between gold and the euro/dollar exchange rate (10-day correlation currently at 0.87), they will look to the dollar to determine gold’s intra-day moves.

Support is at US960 and US954. Resistance is at US969 – US970. A break above this level could see gold test US977.

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.

For the gold price, two outcomes are possible.

Image
For the gold price, two outcomes are possible. First is a return to or near the April low ($1,277.40). Second is a drop to a lower low, $1,240 - $1,260. Yet a third possible outcome is that the June and December lows were not a double bottom and one further drop may come. I account that the least likely, and look for a low here by the end of the week, but I'm no more'n a nacheral born durnd fool from Tennessee, so what do I know?   You'd think that an institution charged with promoting the gold industry would produce reports that at least cast the best light on gold's prospects. You'd think wrong, if you're thinking about the World Gold Council. They've been negative on gold for, oh, the last 14 years or so. Today they issued a report that contained a nugget about Chinese business using physical gold as collateral for bank credit ($40 bn worth) but they managed to tease a gloomy forecast even out of this inventive monetary use. That and bad

India, not Trump, is the real reason behind the crash in gold prices

Image
If you have been puzzled about the crash in gold prices after Donald Trump's election, you are in the company of almost every analyst and media outlet in the western world.
