Gold continues to drift lower, as traders favor risk-on assets and dollar strength

Gold continues to drift lower, as traders favor risk-on assets and dollar strength

Gold futures continued to drift lower, continuing the sharp decline that traders witnessed on Monday of this week. Although yesterday gold was able to recover slightly gaining $18 off of Monday sharp selloff, today traders took gold pricing back to erase those advances made on Tuesday. As of 4:55 PM EST, the most active December contract is currently fixed at $1863.50 which is a net decline of $12.90 on the day. Considering that gold futures opened at $1956 on Monday, the cumulative damage over the last three days have been almost $100 decline per ounce. A combination of strong U.S. equities (risk-on) performance, dollar strength, and modestly higher bond yields have all dampened the bullish market sentiment in the precious metals. Ever since the first week of August when gold futures reached a new record high price at $2088, gold prices have been steadily forming a series of lower […]

Aurelia Metals strikes gold with $200m M&A deal, raising

Aurelia Metals has caught the gold M&A bug and is set to pitch a chunky acquisition and equity raising to investors.

It is understood Aurelia Metals is closing in on NSW-based Dargues Gold Mine and its nearby tenements, which are owned by shareholders and associates of underground mining services contractor PYBAR Mining Services. Aurelia Metals will make about 70 per cent of its earnings from gold should it acquire Dargues Gold Mine as expected. AFR Aurelia Metals is expected to pay $200 million for the mine and tenements, including $176 million cash and $24 million scrip, and fund the deal with an underwritten equity raising.

Bellevue Gold (ASX:BGL) share price sinks lower: Is this a buying opportunity?

Bellevue Gold (ASX:BGL) share price sinks lower: Is this a buying opportunity?

The Bellevue Gold Ltd (ASX: BGL) share price is out of form on Thursday and is sinking lower again.

At the time of writing the gold-focused mineral exploration company’s shares are down 6% to $1.32.

This latest decline means the Bellevue Gold share price is now down over 11% since hitting a record high of $1.49 on Monday. Why is the Bellevue Gold share price sinking lower?

Investors have been selling the company’s shares over the last few days after a meaningful pullback in the gold price.This has been driven by news of a potentially effective COVID-19 vaccine being developed by Pfizer, which has given risk sentiment a boost and put pressure on safe haven assets.The impact has been so great that it has overshadowed a positive update by the company this week in relation to its resource estimate at its Bellevue Gold Project in Western Australia.According to the release, the […]

Gold Inching Toward Record Levels

Gold Inching Toward Record Levels

gold bullion bar Gold prices fell on Monday when news of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine broke and investors turned their attention — and dollars — to the stock market, but the precious metal hasn’t lost its shine. As of late day Wednesday, gold was valued at $1,866 an ounce, not too far below its all-time highs north of $2,000 earlier this year.

Gold reached a record-smashing high of $2,080 an ounce in early August, spurred by central banks’ monetary easing, which created negative real yields, Citi economists told CNBC. Gold has a tendency to rise when the stock market is volatile, which was the case over the summer when the price of gold surged. Even with an invigorated stock market, some analysts think that gold will remain a hot commodity. Under the imminent Joe Biden presidency, Americans might be able to expect another round of COVID-19 relief stimulus payments , […]

Gold prices edged higher on Thursday, after dropping over 1% in the previous session, as concerns over the economic fallout from surging Covid-19 cases outweighed positive vaccine news.

Spot gold rose 0.3% to $1,869.51 per ounce by 0339 GMT.U.S. gold futures were 0.4% higher at $1,869.30.“Gold traders are trying to strike a balance between a positive vaccine news versus a rising number of coronavirus cases around the globe,” said Margaret Yang, a strategist with DailyFx, which covers currency, commodity and index trading.Although the vaccine may affect the medium- to long-term trend of gold prices, monetary and fiscal stimulus are needed in the near-term to shelter the global economy, Yang said. European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde signaled further support for the economy on Wednesday as the pandemic intensified in Europe, with cases expected to spike in winter.Gold tends […]

Gold Price Futures (GC) Technical Analysis – Sitting Between $1889.70 and $1842.60 as Traders Await Catalyst

Gold Price Futures (GC) Technical Analysis – Sitting Between $1889.70 and $1842.60 as Traders Await Catalyst

Gold futures are drifting higher on Thursday with the move supported by a modest dip in the U.S. Dollar against a basket of major currencies. Falling Treasury yields and a drop in demand for equities are also underpinning gold prices.

Capping the market this week are concerns that a COVID-19 vaccine would open up the global economy faster than expected, dampening the need for aggressive fiscal and monetary stimulus.

Underpinning prices are worries that the vaccine would take months to distribute and become effective, which would be too late to avoid another economic downturn in the global economy. This would increase the need for more stimulus measures.

'Buy gold price dips with conviction,' says Orchid Research

‘Buy gold price dips with conviction,’ says Orchid Research

( Kitco News ) – Despite this week’s price drop, gold has more room to the upside and will benefit in the aftermath of the U.S. election amid the COVID-19 uncertainty, said Orchid Research.

"Even though gold’s positioning is heavily long, we think that it has room to become even longer in the weeks ahead, judging by our dry powder level analysis," Orchid Research wrote in said in a Seeking Alpha post on Wednesday. "We think that the aftermath of the U.S. elections will continue to elicit heightened uncertainty, in a context in which additional stimulus measures are needed to fight the COVID-19."

The post-election scenario involves macro uncertainty, more stimulus, and rising coronavirus cases, all of which are supportive drivers for gold.

"This should drive the dollar lower (even though its positioning is already short) and U.S. real rates lower under downward pressure. As a result, we expect investment demand for […]

Gold rallies should be sold, price could drop to $1,500 in 2021 – DeCarley Trading

( Kitco News ) – The gold market continues to hold critical support above $1,850 an ounce; however, according to one market analyst, it might be only a matter of time before this level gives out, and investors see lower gold prices.

In a telephone interview with Kitco News, Carley Garner, founder of the commodity brokerage firm DeCarley Trading said that there are a lot of mixed technical signals in gold and silver, but ultimately she is bearish the precious metals as too many investors are discounting the U.S. dollar strength.

"I believe that the U.S. dollar is bottoming so any rally in gold and silver should be sold," she said.

Garner said that the yield differential between the U.S. and other countries will continue to provide support for the U.S. dollar."The Federal Reserve is not expecting to raise interest rates anytime soon, but even at their current levels they are still […]

Gold Turns Lower Again as Dollar and Stocks Strengthen

Gold Turns Lower Again as Dollar and Stocks Strengthen

(Bloomberg) — Gold declined, wiping out Tuesday’s gains, as the dollar strengthened and defensive shares pushed up equities in Europe.

Bullion rose on Tuesday, after slumping the most in three months the previous day as signs of a vaccine breakthrough hurt haven demand. Optimism over the vaccine that’s helping drive global stock markets higher led Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to boost its price targets for Europe’s main equities gauge and the S&P 500 Index.

A vaccination campaign could begin by spring, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said. Still, there are concerns that the pandemic is worsening in some countries. America reported a record number of infections Monday and may go on to hit the most hospitalizations yet later this week. The situation also looks dire in Europe amid rising fatalities in Germany.

“The biggest reason for another abrupt drop in gold prices would be more good news on the […]

Gold is still inching toward record high levels despite volatility

Gold is still inching toward record high levels despite volatility

Gold prices tumbled on Monday after the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine news sparked a broader market rally . Investors fled safe haven assets like gold, which had surged on worries about the pandemic.

But the price of the gold is still hovering just under $1,900 an ounce — not far from all-time highs above $2,000 earlier this year.

While gold has been volatile, it has benefited from many of the same trends that have lifted bitcoin as well as silver, platinum and other precious metals the past few months. And many analysts are confident gold will just keep on climbing.

The Federal Reserve is likely to keep rates low , even in a Joe Biden administration That will hurt the dollar and make alternative currencies more attractive. More stimulus would bolster the economy, and that could push gold even higher as many investors use it as an inflation hedge.“All of the reasons for […]

Gold Mining ETFs in Focus on Endeavour-Teranga Merger Talks

Gold Mining ETFs in Focus on Endeavour-Teranga Merger Talks

The gold mining space has been buzzing with merger talks. Endeavour Mining is seeking to acquire smaller West African-focused miner Teranga Gold. Endeavour is 24.12% owned by Egypt’s Sawiris family and has been on the acquisition path this year as gold prices have rallied on the back of global stimulus to cushion economies from the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a result of the solid run-up in the bullion price, shares of Teranga Gold have gained 87% this year as of Nov 9, giving the company a market capitalization of about C$2.2 billion ($1.7 billion). Endeavour is valued at about C$5.23 billion ($4 billion) in Toronto (see: all the Materials ETFs here).

The potential deal, if completed, would solidify Endeavour’s position as West Africa’s leading gold producer as it would add operating mine — Wahgnion — to its four existing mines in Burkina Faso, namely, Boungou (acquired from SEMAFO), Karma, […]

Daily Gold News: Gold Fluctuates Following Monday’s Sell-off

Gold Price Analysis: Recapturing $1891 critical for XAU/USD bulls, levels to watch – Confluence Detector

Gold Price Analysis: Recapturing $1891 critical for XAU/USD bulls, levels to watch – Confluence Detector

Gold (XAU/USD) is trying hard to extend its recovery from six-week lows of $1850, reached after the coronavirus vaccine optimism negated the immediate need for fiscal and monetary stimulus.

However, the continued escalation in the COVID-19 cases in Europe and the US has revived the calls for additional stimulus, in a bid to support the global economic recovery, which eventually underpins the sentiment around gold. With the US observing Veterans Day, thin trading conditions could exaggerate the moves in the bright metal. Gold: Key resistances and supports

Despite the upbeat momentum, the Technical Confluences Indicator shows that the yellow metal is struggling below the minor resistance at $1888, which is the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month.

The next critical resistance is aligned at $1891, the meeting point of the previous day high and pivot point one-day R1 at $1897 could likely challenge the bull’s commitment.Further up, the $1903 barrier is the level to […]

Gold Price Analysis: XAU/USD buyers look to $1,900 amid cautious optimism

Gold picks up bids, prints second positive day following Monday’s heavy drop to the late-September low.

Asian shares stay positive in early trade, US stock futures keep the mildly grim tone.

Virus woes, updates on vaccine research probe earlier hopes.

US holiday can restrict market moves, risk catalysts to keep the driver’s seat. Gold extends the previous day’s recovery moves to $1,878.60, up 0.31% intraday, as markets in Tokyo open for Wednesday’s trading. The yellow metal slumped to the September 28 bottom on Monday before bouncing off $1,850.56. Although the US dollar’s inability to hold the early-week gains help the precious metal buyers, a light calendar in Asia and mixed signals from the key risk areas may continue challenging the commodity traders. Stimulus hopes keep the buyers hopeful… With a halt in China’s vaccine trials in Brazil, due to the death of a volunteer, pours […]

A Contrarian Analysis of Gold’s Big Drop

A Contrarian Analysis of Gold’s Big Drop

Contrarians weren’t surprised by gold’s huge plunge on Monday of this week, when the yellow metal at one point was down more than $100 an ounce.

To be sure, it would be going too far to give contrarians credit for predicting the plunge. But it is true that contrarians have been largely bearish since July, when gold market optimism reached hardly-ever-before-seen levels. So to that extent contrarians have been suspecting that any big surprises in the gold arena would be on the downside.

Even after Monday’s big drop, contrarians continue to look for lower prices.

These are the conclusions I draw after analyzing the average recommended gold market exposure level among a set of short-term gold market timers who my firm has been monitoring on a daily basis since 2000. (This average is the Hulbert Gold Newsletter Sentiment Index, or HGNSI.) Currently, this average stands at 31.7%, which is higher than 55% […]
