Introduction

As markets face ongoing global challenges, gold and silver remain essential assets for investors seeking stability and growth potential. With key economic indicators and central bank policies in the spotlight, today’s report provides a comprehensive analysis of the forces shaping precious metal prices. Our insights empower investors to make informed decisions amidst the complexities of the gold and silver markets.

Fundamental Analysis

Gold:

Gold is showing resilience, trading above $2,750 as uncertainties surrounding the U.S. presidential election and ongoing geopolitical tensions bolster its safe-haven appeal. The upcoming Federal Reserve meeting on November 7, with a potential interest rate cut, adds further intrigue. Current sentiment suggests a 94.5% chance of a 25-bps rate cut, slightly reduced from last week’s 95.5%. Speculation around potential policy shifts following the election could further impact gold’s trajectory.

Silver has seen a decline, impacted by the rising gold/silver ratio above 83.50. Should silver remain below $33.00, we may see it test support levels around $31.45 to $31.75. The current Short-Term Stochastic Oscillator for silver is at 66, while the RSI stands at 58, indicating stable yet moderate buying momentum, with further losses possible if support levels are breached.
