Introduction:
In our comprehensive market analysis for today, we examine the gold and silver markets, shedding light on the fundamental and technical elements influencing their current trajectories. Our objective is to arm investors with the necessary insights for proficient market navigation, amidst a landscape of fluctuating economic indicators and geopolitical tensions.
Fundamental Insights:
Gold price is challenging yet another lifetime high just a hairline short of the $2,400 threshold in Friday’s Asian session. The risk of a further escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, is a key factor benefiting the safe-haven precious metal. Also, expectations that major central banks will cut interest rates this year offer additional support to the non-yielding yellow metal and contribute to the positive move.
Technical Analysis:
Gold’s the strong positive momentum remains uninterrupted despite the extremely overbought Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart. Bulls, however, might opt to take some profits near the $2,400 mark heading into the weekend, warranting some caution before positioning for any further appreciating move. Any meaningful corrective slide below the Asian session low, around the $2,365 area, however, is likely to find decent support near the $2,350 region. Some follow-through selling could expose the next relevant support near the $2,332 area before the Gold price eventually drops to the $2,300 neighborhood, or the weekly low.
The silver climbed back above the $29.00 level as gold/silver ratio remained stuck below 84. In case silver manages to create base of weekly close above $28.00, it will move towards the next resistance, which is located in the $30.00.
