Ø Overnight gains in the dollar saw gold open lower at 1580.75/1581.75, also its intraday high. Fund selling as the dollar continued to gain coupled with declines in equities took the metal to its intraday low of 1567.50/1568.50 midsession. Midday renewed buying interest saw gold recover small, closing the day at 1573.75/1574.75.
Ø Declines in base metals overnight saw silver
open lower at 27.24/27.29. Disappointing consumer confidence data helped to pare
silver’s early morning gain to an intraday high of 27.34/27.39. The metal slid
lower alongside declines in base metals and crude to eventually reach an
intraday low of 26.79/26.84 midsession. Recovering at the end of the day, silver
closed the session at 27.10/27.15.
Technical
Commentary
Ø
Gold closed at 1573 today, erasing much
of yesterday’s gains. Resistance is at last Thursday’s high at 1607, followed by
the downtrend which comes in around 1627. Support is at Friday’s low of 1558.
Price action is weak and we are likely to have a retest of the 1526
low.
Ø
Silver closed lower at
27.15. After a long sideways consolidation, silver has resumed its downtrend.
Support is in the low 26’s (26.07-26.16) where we have made 2 bottoms in
September and December. Resistance is at Thursday’s high at 28.16. The
Gold-Silver ratio is trading higher at 57.96 and continues to have strong
support from its well-established uptrend, currently at 56.12.
