Today’s report delivers a comprehensive analysis of the gold and silver markets, highlighting the key fundamental and technical factors influencing current trends. It is designed to provide investors with valuable insights to help them navigate these markets with confidence and clarity.
Gold extended its winning streak, reaching a new all-time high around the $4,200 level. Tensions between the United States and China escalated after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to end trade with China in cooking oil and other products, following China’s refusal to purchase U.S. soybeans. In response, China imposed new special port fees on U.S. ships entering Chinese ports and tightened restrictions on rare earth exports. This marks a sharp intensification of the trade conflict between the world’s two largest economies. Additionally, heightened geopolitical risks and concerns over potential disruptions to U.S. economic performance have driven investors toward safe-haven assets, propelling gold to another record high during Wednesday’s Asian trading session.
On Tuesday, the market showed resilience just below the $4,100 level. The upward momentum seen over the past three weeks has followed an ascending trendline, indicating that the broader direction for gold remains bullish. However, the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) signals overbought conditions, suggesting caution before entering new long positions. A potential corrective dip toward the $4,100 zone could still present a buying opportunity, with strong support expected near the $4,060–$4,055 range. Currently, the short-term Stochastics Oscillator stands at 98, and the RSI is at 84, both reinforcing overbought signals.
The gold market now sits at a pivotal point, with clearly defined support and resistance levels that may shape its next major move.
Silver regained momentum after briefly retreating from a new record high of $53.60 and is currently trading just below the $53.00 per ounce mark. The recent surge in silver prices has been fueled by increasing worries about liquidity shortages in the London market. In India, silver is trading at a notable premium amid robust festive-season demand. Additionally, renewed U.S.–China trade tensions have bolstered safe-haven demand, attracting more investors to silver. The short-term Stochastics Oscillator stands at 91, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 83, both indicating overbought market conditions.
● Stochastics Oscillator: A momentum indicator that compares a closing price to its recent trading range. Readings above 80 suggest overbought conditions, while readings below 20 indicate oversold levels.
