* Rise in Asian physical demand to further support gold – analyst * Chinese car sales to buoy platinum, palladium – analysts * Interactive graphic tracking global spread of coronavirus: here (Updates prices) By Asha Sistla Oct 26 (Reuters) – Gold edged up on Monday as growing fears over a second COVID-19 wave countered a firmer dollar and a lack of headway on a U.S. stimulus package to combat the economic impact of the pandemic. Spot gold was 0.1% higher at $1,902.06 per ounce by 1221 GMT, regaining some ground after earlier falling to its lowest since Oct. 15, at $1,890.19. U.S. gold futures were flat at $1,904.30. "What’s significant is the fact that yes, we have opened lower, but we’re actually pulling off the lows of the day. There was always this possibility that we were going to get a second (COVID-19) wave, and obviously that is a […]

Gold managed to attract some dip-buying on Monday and refreshed daily tops in the last hour.

The technical set-up still favours bearish traders and supports prospects for a further decline.

Attempted move up might confront stiff resistance and remain capped near the $1918-19 zone.

Gold reversed an early dip to the $1891 region, or seven-day lows and refreshed daily tops during the mid-European session, albeit lacked any strong follow-through.The goodish intraday rebound back above the $1900 mark stalled near 200-hour SMA. The mentioned barrier also coincides with a one-month-old ascending trend-line support breakpoint, which should now act as a key pivotal point for intraday traders.Meanwhile, technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart have again started moving into the positive territory and support prospects for a further move up. However, oscillators on 4-hourly/daily charts maintained their bearish bias and favour bears.Hence, any subsequent positive move beyond the $1905-06 […]

Gold has made its way back above the $1,900 level, attempting to recover. Earlier, it dropped as Democrats and Republicans blamed each other for "moving the goal posts" on fiscal stimulus talks. The precious metal continues having a robust correlation with speculation about a multi-trillion relief package from Washington.

Election uncertainty is also weighing on markets, but having a more muted impact on XAU/USD.

How is gold positioned on the charts?

The Technical Confluences Indicator is showing that XAU/USD is capped under $ 1.909 , which is the convergence of the Fibonacci 61.8% one-week and the Bollinger Band 4h-Middle. As the graphic below shows, it is the most robust level.Looking up, the next target is $ 1,923 , which is a juncture of lines including the Pivot Point one-day Resistance 2, the 50-day Simple Moving Average, and the PP one-week R1.Some support awaits at $ 1,891 , which is the confluence of […]

Gold bullion on a chart The gold price has shone in the pandemic, and trades 27% higher than a year ago. Yet I’d be wary of investing in the precious metal today. After hitting an all-time high of around $2,084 an ounce in August, gold has slipped to around $1,900. If we get a working Covid-19 vaccine and find a way out of the current malaise, it could fall further.

There’s another reason why I’m wary. There are no dividends or interest when you buy gold. By contrast, the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 are full of stocks that pay dividends, even if many have suspended payouts this year. The following two shares give exposure to the gold price too.

Gold and dividends? That’s what can be achieved investing in gold mining stocks, but with an extra layer of risk. It not only brings exposure to gold price movements, but the […]

Gold in wait-and-see mode ahead of US election; bears eye 1,900 [Video]

Gold completed another indecisive week , maintaining a horizontal trajectory within the 1,848-1,930 area as the final countdown to the US election nears an end, the stimulus confusion remains intact, and vaccine hopes rise. Gold sellers are dominating

Gold sellers are dominating. Last 3 months selling on rallies was dominant strategy for positional intraday traders. Occasional longs are possible only with the strict timeframes such as 15m.

W H4 and 78.6 are making a confuence close to the previous top. 1919-1922 is the POC zone where we might expect sellers to react. If the market gets higher above 1934 then sellers will be in trouble.

( Kitco News ) – Gold has rebounded leading into the US open but there are some key resistance levels the yellow metal has to take out before looking bullish again.

Leading into the EU session the price of gold was weaker as there was a few bearish news stories from over the weekend to digest. Now the futures price has recovered and gold is trading just above flat. The bulls need to take out the $1916 resistance to have a […]

An employee shows two bars of gold produced by state-owned diversified mining company PT Aneka Tambang (Antam). (kompas.com/Garry Andrew Lotulung) State-owned miner PT Aneka Tambang (Antam) has set its sights on acquiring the lucrative Wabu Block gold mine in Papua to replenish the company’s dwindling gold reserves.

Antam is already drafting a work plan for the gold-rich block in Intan Jaya regency, as the miner waits for its parent company, state-owned mining holding MIND ID, to hand over the block, according to the company.

MIND ID’s president director had previously confirmed the handover plan on Sept 29. The holding company estimates the block to contain 8.6 million ounces of gold resources.

“This will, of course, be a new hope for Antam,” Antam corporate secretary Kunto Hendrapawoko told The Jakarta Post on FridayAntam’s takeover of the Wabu Block is expected to further consolidate the company’s gold business, which contributes over 60 percent of […]

LONDON, Oct. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Australia’s first New South Wales Gold Rush took place over 120 years ago. Back then, prospectors wielded nothing more than pickaxes.

Gold prices have fallen off their highs, cooling down as fiscal stimulus talks have yet to reach the final line. While both Republicans and Democrats are reporting progress, time is running out toward the elections and it is unclear if lawmakers would opt to pass legislation during the "lame duck" period.

The precious metal was rising on hopes for a multi-trillion dollar injection of funds from the federal government. Moreover, the market mood dampened after US security authorities said that Iran and Russia obtained voter registration files and are threatening people ahead of Election Day. Concerns about foreign interference may contribute to a contested election and no new stimulus.

How is XAU/USD positioned after these developments?

The Technical Confluences Indicator is showing that gold has robust support at $ 1,909 , which is the convergence of the Simple Moving Average 200-1h and the SAM 5-one-day.Below this critical line, an additional cushion awaits […]

Gold futures finished marginally lower and consolidated in a tight range for a third week with investors held hostage by the lack of movement toward a fresh government fiscal stimulus plan. The price action was choppy with gold rising along with hopes for a deal falling when those hopes were dashed.

It wasn’t the actual stimulus headlines that drove the price action, but what they did to the U.S. Dollar. When stimulus was on the dollar weakened, driving up foreign demand for the dollar-denominated commodity. When both sides nearly walked away from negotiations, the greenback rose, pressuring gold prices.

Last week, December Comex gold settled at $1905.20, down $1.20 or -0.6%.

Gold is viewed as a hedge against inflation and currency debasement spurred by stimulus measures. Stimulus Update It doesn’t make sense to retrace the stimulus headlines from last week. All one has to know is that they changed nearly every day […]

Photo by Rocky Widner/NBAE via Getty Images It’s been well over seven months since the Golden State Warriors last played a game. And while we don’t yet know when they’ll play again, we suddenly have a tentative date.

Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium recently reported that the league is targeting Dec. 22 as the season opener, which is a very quick turnaround. It seems to be for a wide range of reasons: the ability to return to a normal schedule for 2021-22; the possibility of players still competing in the Olympics; and, of course, money.

Central banks shifted to net sellers of gold during the September quarter for the first time in nearly a decade Gold And Silver > Gold-and-silver-news

Staff Reporter

Central banks shifted to net selling during the period for the first time in nearly a decade.

Net sales were estimated at just under 13t.An absence of purchases from Russia and China drove the shift, along with increased gross sales by some countries battling the economic effects of COVID-19.Refinitiv’s analysis suggests banks are taking advantage of high gold prices."It is in the near term that we are likely to see increased volatility, choppy trading and fluctuations in the stock markets and the gold price, particularly in the run-up to US presidential elections," said precious metals director Cameron Alexander."While we may see gold consolidating or caught up in a broader sell-off in the short term, gold should benefit from growing risks revolving around […]

Sign up here to get the day’s top stories delivered straight to your inbox. As time passes, especially in 2020, a lot changes. But one thing that hasn’t changed much is the value of gold.

Perhaps best known for its use in bars, coins, and jewelry, gold is immune to rust, decay, and corrosion. But these physical aspects are not what makes the metal so special. (Consider that silver also shares some of gold’s valuable qualities, but doesn’t hold nearly as much value.)

Let’s take a deeper look at how gold holds value, and why it’s seemingly immune to nearly any financial crisis. The Rich History of Gold

News of the discovery of approximately 40 million troy ounces of gold in Russia’s Siberian region is likely to boost the profitability of the country’s biggest gold producer, while adding to the supply of the “scarce” resource. Reports say the Polyus owned the Sukhoi Log contains 540 million tonnes of ore, which translates to an average of 2.3 grams per ton. The reserves, which will account for a quarter of Russia’s gold stocks, are likely to generate $76 billion in revenues for Polyus when using current prices. How Bitcoin Compares to Gold

Although the Sukhoi Log announcement adds to the proven reserves and stocks of gold, it is unclear how this will affect the metal’s price in the immediate to short term. However, gold which has traditionally been used as a hedge against inflation is likely to grow in value as the money supply increases. The precious metal behavior […]
