Gold price extends its uptrend, but the market remains within a relatively tight trading range.
The gold futures contract gained 0.02% on Monday, Jan. 23, as it extended a short-term consolidation along new medium-term highs. Recently the yellow metal advanced on weaker U.S. dollar following economic data releases, among other factors. In early January it fluctuated after Central Banks’ monetary policy releases, stock markets’ volatility. Today gold is trading slightly higher, as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
The gold price is 0.3% higher, as it is trading along the new high. What about the other precious metals? Silver is 1.1% higher, platinum is 0.7% higher and palladium is 0.5% higher. So the main precious metals’ prices are higher this morning.
The markets will be waiting for the important PMI numbers release at 9:45 a.m., among others.
