Wednesday, October 28 – Gold Closer to Lows Again
The gold futures contract gained 0.33% on Tuesday, as it further extended its month-long consolidation above $1,900 price level. In September the market was retracing a rally from around $1,800 to August 7 record high of $2,089.20 in reaction to U.S. dollar advance. Then gold has bounced from the support level marked by mid-August local low of around $1,875, as we can see on the daily chart ( the chart includes today’s intraday data ):
Gold is 0.8% lower this morning, as it is getting back to the recent local lows. What about the other precious metals? Silver gained 0.61% on Tuesday and today it is 1.4% lower. Platinum gained 1.07% and today it is 1.1% lower. Palladium lost 0.62% yesterday and today it is 2.7% lower. So precious metals’ prices are going down this morning .
Yesterday’s Consumer Confidence release has been slightly worse than expected at 100.9. And Durable Goods Orders have been better than expected.
Today we will get the Wholesale Inventories number at 8:30 a.m. The markets will wait for tomorrow’s important Advance GDP number release and ECB’s Monetary Policy update.
