The gold market has held steady overnight as the world awaits this morning's US non-farm payrolls data.

On the political front Asian nations are now asking Iran to go get their foreign nationals from Hamas, while Anthony Blinken arrives in Israel to try and negotiate a "humanitarian pause".

This comes after the IDF started to demolish houses belonging to terrorists in Gaza. Israeli defense forces were reported to have cut Gaza into two, wedging their forces from the Mediterranean coast to isolate the Hamas-rich northern part of Gaza...[MORE]

The technical and fundamental bias has shifted up for gold and silver following the latest update on the status of US Fed policy.

Obviously, the idea that the Fed will be on hold in the December 13th meeting, the downside breakout in US treasury yields today, and the definitive reversal/gap downslide in the dollar early this morning gives the edge to the bull camps in gold and silver.

However, the initial gains are somewhat disappointing given the noted favorable shift in market psychology, especially with the potential for the war to provide out-of-nowhere buying...[MORE]

After starting the week with a gap-up opening, gold prices are now back to where they started, despite the Middle East conflict continuing to get messier. Yesterday saw the Israelis blow up a refugee camp where a Hamas commander was hiding.

Of more importance today is the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision and, more importantly, wording from the statement and Fed press conference.

While the gold market has displayed some bullish resiliency throughout October, a lack of incendiary developments in the Middle East and renewed strength in the US dollar initially stalled December gold again around the $2,017.70 level and ultimately prompted a wave of long profit-taking yesterday...[MORE]

The early action in gold this morning is disappointing with an expansion of tensions in the Middle East overnight with Yemeni Huthis attacking Israel and Saudi Arabia launching an attack against Yemen.

This comes as the Israelis clinched the key thoroughfare that connects northern Gaza with the south.

The bull camp should be further deflated from the lack of gains this morning following declines in the dollar and a surprising and massive single-day gold ETF inflow of 690,904 ounces yesterday...[MORE]
