In addition to gains from strength in the dollar, gold, and silver both appear to be embracing the idea the Ferd will pause in their June 16th FOMC meeting.
Therefore, today's monthly jobs data will be a major data point in the Fed's calculus, with stronger-than-expected numbers likely to be negative for precious metals...[MORE]

Friday, June 2, 2023June 2 (Reuters) - Gold prices were on track on Friday for their biggest weekly rise since early April, buoyed by hopes the U.S. Federal Reserve would not raise interest rates at its policy meeting this month, which also weighed on the dollar and bond yields.

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.

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]
