Gold bounced from $2,000 level; markets go sideways following last week’s advances.
The gold futures contract lost 0.13% on Friday, November 17 as it fluctuated after its recent advances. On Friday gold reached new local high of around $1,996 following weaker U.S. dollar, among other factors. The market extended its rebound from last Monday’s local low of $1,935.60. On Monday a week ago the market was the lowest since mid-October. Then gold rallied after the important Tuesday’s CPI release.
On October 6 gold reached new medium-term low of $1,823.50. It was the lowest since early March, but then the market bounced and rallied to $2,000 level.
Today gold is retracing some more of the recent advances as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
The gold price is 0.5% lower as it is trading below the $1,980 level. What about the other precious metals? Silver is 1.7% lower, platinum is 0.1% lower and palladium is 0.1% lower. So the main precious metals’ prices are lower this morning.
Today we won’t get any new important economic data. The markets will be waiting for tomorrow’s FOMC Meeting Minutes release.
