Zaner Daily Precious Metals Commentary
Thursday, March 21, 2024

Precious metals have broken out to the upside in a very positive reaction to the FOMC meeting results.

June gold has reached a new record high while May silver reached a 3 1/2-month high early in today's action, and both are holding onto those gains this morning.

Gold and silver have benefited from the sizable pullback in the dollar after it reached a 3-week high before the FOMC meeting results. While the dollar has found its footing, it remains well below Wednesday's high and is providing support to metals markets...[MORE]

While gold prices have regained the upper hand on silver, both are holding in relatively tight price ranges this morning.

After this afternoon's Fed meeting results and Fed Chair Powell's press conference, gold and silver are likely to break out of those tight ranges.

The dollar has rallied to a 3-week high in a "buy the fact" reaction to the first Bank of Japan rate hike in 17 years, and that continues to pressure gold and silver prices...[MORE]

While gold and silver saw divergent trading action at the start of this week, they are both on the defensive early on.

There was a role reversal Monday with gold regaining the upper hand on silver as both remain close to 2024 price highs.

The dollar has extended its mid-March recovery to a 3-week high in the wake of the Bank of Japan's first rate hike since 2007 as the Yen had a "sell the fact" reaction falling to a new low for the move and that in turn put early pressure on precious metals prices...[MORE]

Even though April gold posted a solid gain in Wednesday's trade, further confirmation of residual/sticky US inflation today could unleash an additional and perhaps more aggressive long liquidation washout.

Fortunately for the bull camp, the US dollar has not rallied on stubborn signs of sticky US inflation and declining US rate cut hopes, but that could change if Tuesday's inflation concern is reconfirmed by today's inflation news.

It should also be noted that Bitcoin posted new all-time highs again and, most gold mining shares showed significant gains yesterday with Newmont and Barrick up 1.7%, Harmony gold up 3.6% and Sibanye Stillwater up 6.7%...[MORE]
