Thursday, June 1, 2023While the dollar action overnight is not patently negative to gold and silver, the charts in the dollar show no signs of vulnerability thereby leaving gold and silver under currency-related pressure.
In retrospect, gold and silver have seen some flight to quality liquidation following the quick House passage of its debt ceiling bill and further but even less significant flight to quality liquidation might be seen when the bill passes the Senate.
A limiting force for the markets going forward are several Fed comments yesterday favoring a rate hike in the next meeting but there were two Fed members who indicated they could favor a pause to give the Fed additional data before acting...[MORE]

Wednesday, May 31, 2023With a fresh new high for the move in the dollar to the highest level since March 15th yesterday, the gold market is short-term overbought and is facing ongoing currency-related pressure.
Surprisingly, silver has avoided the pressure seen in the early gold trade thereby signaling its continued focus on physical commodity fundamentals instead of financial/currency-related factors.
However, gold and silver should see minimal support from a continued slide in US interest rates today...[MORE]

In today's action, we think gold and silver might have found psychological/even number values at $1950 and $23.00 respectively.
While there appears to be movement closer to a debt ceiling deal in Washington, the markets have been baking a deal into the cake over the past 2 weeks and a very neutral agreement will probably result in many markets turning their focus to other fundamental issues...[MORE]

Friday, May 26, 2023Even though August gold has recovered from a fresh low for the move overnight, the charts generally favor the bear camp.
According to some press outlets, gold is higher this morning because of a retrenchment in the dollar, but that retrenchment is insignificant early on with dollar charts retaining a bullish setup.
However, the parties to the debt ceiling negotiations appear to be so confident in their ability to strike a deal next week, that the President and Congress are leaving Washington for the holidays...[MORE]
