Gold & Silver Trying To Build A Base Above $1,500 And $17.50
This Week's Headlines: |
Last week, mixed economic indicators, a disappointing ISM U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index and news that private sector employment increased by 135,000 jobs in September caused Gold to fluctuate from a low of $1,465 to a high of $1,519 per ounce. Gold closed the week at $1,506 per ounce, up $6 for the week.
On May 2nd Gold reached the 2019 low of $1,265 per ounce, and by Sept 4th, Gold rallied to reach the 2019 high of $1,566 per ounce. A $300 rally (23.72%) in only four months shows how explosive the Gold price can be. Since Sept 4th, Gold has seen profit taking, dropping to a low of $1,465 on Oct 1st. After reaching that low, Gold rallied back above the $1,500 resistance/support level on heavy buying the next day. The upcoming Chinese meetings on the trade war could give the Gold price a short-term price direction.
Today: Precious metal traders are looking forward to this Thursday/Friday meeting with the Chinese on trade talks for direction. Earlier today, Gold briefly traded below the key $1,500 level and as trading volume picked up the price has moved above and below the key $1,500 level.
The last three trading days of last week, Silver closed above $17.50 per ounce on moderate
trading volume, down $0.04 per ounce. On Friday, the Silver-to-Gold ratio moved higher, reaching 85.84-to-1. Silver like Gold is waiting for indication during the upcoming Chinese trade talks of a short-term direction for prices. I continue to believe that Silver is building a base for its next move to the key $18 resistance level later this month.
Today: Silver reached $17.38 earlier this morning in light Asian trading before rallying back to the $17.50 level in European and U.S. trading. Right now, the Silver price is holding above the $17.50 level on moderate trading volume.
