The yellow metal extends its consolidation, as markets await the Consumer Confidence data.
The gold futures contract lost 0.78% on Monday, November 28, as it continued to trade along the $1,750 level. Last week on Wednesday the market rebounded from the local low of $1,719, and on November 15 gold price reached medium-term high of $1,791.80. The yellow metal reversed lower and last week it retraced some of the advance on U.S dollar strength, stock markets’ pull-back. This morning gold price is retracing its Monday’s decline of 0.5%, as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
Today, gold price is 0.9% higher, as it is trading above the $1,750 level again. What about the other precious metals? Silver is 2.0% higher, platinum is 1.0% higher and palladium is 0.6% higher. So the main precious metals’ prices are higher this morning.
This morning we will get the important CB Consumer Confidence release at 10:00 a.m., among others. The markets will be waiting for Friday’s monthly jobs data, among others.
