Daily Gold News: July 3 – Gold Price Bounced From Thursday’s Low
Gold trades sideways as the U.S. long holiday weekend reduces liquidity.
The gold futures contract gained 0.6% on Friday, June 30 as it bounced from its Thursday’s local low of $1,900.60. On Thursday gold was the lowest since mid-March. Recently it has been bouncing from the $1,920 level, but a stronger U.S. dollar, stock markets’ advances pushed the yellow metal’s price lower.
In May gold retreated from new medium-term high of $2,085.40 and in early March it was selling off after the Fed Chief Powell’s hawkish testimony. Then it rebounded from the local low of around $1,813.
Today gold is trading along the $1,920 level as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
The gold price is 0.4% lower this morning as it is retracing some of the Friday’s advance. What about the other precious metals? Silver is 0.1% lower, platinum is unchanged and palladium is 0.3% higher. So the main precious metals’ prices are lower this morning.
Friday’s important Core PCE Price Index release has been as expected at +0.3%. Today we will get the ISM Manufacturing PMI release at 10:00 a.m., among others.
