Gold & Silver Tested The Lows And Now Starting A Bullish Rally
This Week's Headlines: |
The big news that helped determine the direction of the financial markets last week was the U.S.-Chinese trade deal and the British Brexit vote. On Friday, it was released that Trump agreed to a phase-one trade deal with China, preventing scheduled tariffs. Also, Great Britain held a vote, which gave the government direction on proceeding with the Brexit from the European community. Both these issues were the primary cause of the recent uncertainty in the financial markets.
After the news was announced, the U.S. Dow Jones Industrial average rallied, reaching an All-Time high. Surprisingly, the Gold price moved higher on excellent demand, up $16 per ounce, reaching the high for the week of $1,475 per ounce. There was one piece of economic news released Friday that was bullish for Gold. The November U.S. Retail sales figures were released showing an increase of only 0.2%, economist were expecting 0.5%.
The Gold and Silver fundamentals have never looked better. I continue to believe we will have a year-end rally in the precious metal markets, and Gold at the current price is an unbelievable value.
Today:
Gold is trading in a tight $7 range between $1,472 and $1,479 per ounce today. The U.S. Dollar weakened as traders and investors await more details on the U.S. – Chinese phase one of the trade deal.
Like Gold, Silver closed the week at its highest, which was $16.90 per ounce, up $0.42. After testing the low of $16.50 last week, Silver needs to continue the rally and move firmly above the key $17 per ounce resistance level this week. The Silver-to-Gold ratio decreased to 87.07-to-1 per ounce.
Today: Silver reached a high of $17.06 in Asian trading this morning, then sold off as it came west. For the most part of today’s trading, Silver has been above and below the key $17 per ounce level.
