Today’s analysis offers a comprehensive overview of the gold and silver markets, highlighting the fundamental and technical factors influencing current trends. Our report is designed to equip investors with the insights necessary to navigate these markets successfully.
Gold prices are consolidating recent gains as fears of a trade war diminish, while a sell-off in USD/JPY weighs on the US Dollar amid mixed ISM and ADP data. Continued weakness in the US Dollar, combined with a prolonged correction in US Treasury bond yields, remains favorable for non-yielding gold. The Greenback is feeling the impact of reduced concerns over a global trade war following President Trump’s recent stance on Canada and Mexico, as markets grow optimistic about the US-China tariff situation, anticipating no further escalation. Additionally, Trump’s efforts to resolve geopolitical tensions have lessened the USD’s appeal as a safe haven.
The daily chart signals caution for gold buyers, with the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently in an extremely overbought territory, suggesting a potential pullback if prices sustain below the $2,850 level. If selling pressure increases, gold could test $2,859, with further support at $2,837. However, the bullish crossover of the 50-day and 100-day moving averages keeps the hopes alive for buyers. To maintain upward momentum, gold needs to break through the record high of $2,882, with the next significant target set at the $3,000 mark. Currently, the Stochastics Oscillator is at 92, and the RSI is at 73.
Silver has approached the $32.50 level as traders shift their attention to the strong performance of the gold markets. If silver manages to settle above the resistance zone of $32.66 to $33.00, it could target the next resistance level around $34.00. Currently, the short-term Stochastics Oscillator stands at 90, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 64.
