Introduction:

Today’s report provides a detailed examination of the gold and silver markets, highlighting the interplay of fundamental and technical factors driving current trends. This analysis is designed to equip investors with essential insights, aiding them in navigating these volatile markets with greater efficacy.

 

Fundamental Analysis:

Gold’s upward momentum briefly paused, despite hitting a record high earlier in the session. A lull in top-tier economic data may temporarily cap gains, though supportive factors such as increased bets on US Federal Reserve rate cuts and persistent geopolitical tensions could bolster the metal’s appeal. Investors are poised to focus on upcoming Federal Reserve communications for further directional cues, especially with multiple Fed officials scheduled to speak today.

Technical Analysis:

Gold

Gold maintains a positive outlook as it holds above the pivotal 100-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The metal faces immediate resistance at the all-time high of $2450. A successful break above this level could see gold targeting the $2500 mark. Support is established at $2400, with additional safeguards at $2386 and the 100-period EMA at $2353.
