Gold moved higher overnight to open at 1283.00/1284.00. It briefly touched a low of 1281.25/1282.25 before surging to a high
Gold
of 1294.00/1295.00 following marginally higher than expected U.S. initial jobless claims and signals from Fed Chairman
nominee Janet Yellen that monetary stimulus is likely to continue. The metal closed the session at 1286.50/1287.50.
Gold closed higher today at 1286, stabilizing the decline that has seen gold travel from 1361 to 1261 in 9 sessions. On the
daily chart, there is still a weak uptrend in gold in place since the June 28th low, with uptrend support coming in at 1272.
However, the bearish trend that has been in place since the August high at 1433 still has greater momentum. The last signal in
MACD is still a sell, and positive directional movement (+DMI) is only at 13, versus negative directional movement (-DMI) at
26. This leaves the risk to the downside, for a retracement back to the 1251 low from October. A breach of 1251 would open up
a retracement to the 1180 low from June. Current resistance is at 1300, which is both a psychological level as well as the
38.2% retracement of the October downtrend.
Gold prices eased slightly in Asia on Friday, with investors taking gains from an overnight jump on expectations of continued
easy monetary policy in the United States.
Overnight, gold prices hit a session low of USD1,273.30 a troy ounce and high of USD1,293.60 a troy ounce after Federal
Reserve Chair Nominee Janet Yellen said that monetary stimulus tools should stay in place as needed to ensure a more robust
recovery.
Silver
Silver followed gold higher overnight to open at 20.73/20.78. It touched a low of 20.62/20.67 and then quickly moved
up to a high of 20.85/20.90 prior to concluding the session at 20.71/20.76.
Silver also showed some signs of stabilizing after declining in 8 of the past 11 sessions, from 23.09 high to 20.44
low. Today's close was 20.76, and comes after yesterday's test of the previous 20.49 low from October 15th.
Yesterday's low of 20.44 now becomes support, with resistance at 21.45, which is 38.2% retracement of this recent
downtrend. The risk is still to the downside, to test the previous low at 19.16
Silver prices rallied off the previous session's three-month low on Thursday, as investors cheered stimulus-supportive
remarks from Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Janet Yellen.
Futures were likely to find support at USD20.41 a troy ounce, the low from November 13 and resistance at
USD21.33, the high from November 12.
Expectations that the Fed would keep its stimulus in place for longer mounted following dovish comments from
Federal Reserve Chairman nominee Janet Yellen.
