This Week's Headlines: |
During last week, a number of bullish U.S. economic indicators were released. The most important one was the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, which was released on Friday. The PCE jumped 0.6% in January, which was up 4.7% from January 2022. Wall Street had been expecting respective readings of 0.5% and 4.4%. The Dollar index moved higher on this announcement and Gold dropped to a weekly low of $1,809.20 on Friday, down $31 for the week.
With many inflationary indicators being released during February, many financial market analysts have become bearish on precious metals. The thinking is that with inflation running at a higher rate than the Federal Reserve targets, they will continue to raise interest rates. Right now, the expectation is that the Federal Reserve will increase the Fed Funds rate by ¼ %, in March, May and again in June. This expectation will put pressure on the Gold price and $1,800 per ounce will be tested soon. As weaker inflationary numbers are released in March and April, I expect to see precious metal prices move higher.
Today: This morning Gold bottomed out before the U.S. Commerce Department released the January durable goods data, showing a drop of 4.5% from December’s numbers. This was the first disinflationary news we have seen in a while; Gold was trading at $1,807 and then quickly rallied to $1,821 after the announcement, but couldn’t hold the rally.
Silver was slammed last week, dropping below the key $21 per ounce support level. On Friday Silver reached a low of $20.60 before closing at $20.70 per ounce, down $0.92 for the week.
In the coming weeks, Silver could test its long-term $20 support level, before we see weaker inflationary indicators. Last week, the Silver-to-Gold ratio moved over 87-to-1.
Today: Silver rallied with Gold on the durable goods data news, but saw a lot of resistance as it approached the key $21 level. It’s important to see Silver back above $21 per ounce soon, to restore trader’s bullish mindset.
