Today’s analysis offers a thorough examination of the gold and silver markets, highlighting the fundamental and technical factors that influence current trends. Our report is designed to empower investors with the insights necessary for effective navigation of these markets.

Fundamental Analysis

Gold buyers are becoming cautious as the US Dollar rebounds broadly, preparing for the anticipated US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia. High-level delegates from the US and Russia are set to discuss efforts to end the war in Ukraine. While there are hopes for a peace deal, uncertainty looms as decisions may occur without the involvement of Ukraine or European leaders. The outcomes of these discussions between the Kremlin and Washington are likely to be the primary market driver, especially with US traders returning after a long weekend. Should tensions rise, risk aversion could increase, leading to renewed demand for gold as a safe haven, potentially pushing prices higher alongside the dollar.

Gold

Gold prices are hovering above $2,900 early Tuesday, following a rebound from a dip to $2,890. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) has stabilized in the bullish zone, indicating a lack of fresh momentum. If sellers become active, the February low of $2,864 may be tested, and a break below this level could open the door to further declines toward the psychological barrier at $2,850. On the upside, if the rebound gains traction, gold buyers will target the record high of $2,943, with the next significant resistance at the $2,970 mark. Currently, the Stochastics Oscillator is at 80, and the RSI is at 68, reflecting bullish sentiment.

Silver

Silver prices are rising as traders respond to the rebound in the gold market. The gold/silver ratio has not managed to settle above the 90 level, which is a positive sign for silver. A breakout above the $33.00 mark could propel silver toward the nearest resistance range of $32.41 to $33.75. Currently, the short-term Stochastics Oscillator stands at 64, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 62, indicating a generally bullish outlook for silver.
