( Kitco News ) – Gold and silver futures prices are solidly lower in early U.S. trading Wednesday. The precious metals are again being pressured by a stronger U.S. dollar index on this day. Much to the consternation of the bulls, the safe-haven metals can’t catch a bid at mid-week despite the keener risk aversion in the marketplace. Once again the shorter-term gold futures traders are paying more attention to the daily movements of the U.S. dollar index. December gold futures were last down $21.50 at $1,890.20 and December Comex silver was last down $0.62 at $23.97 an ounce.

Global stock markets were mixed but mostly lower overnight. U.S. stock indexes are set to open the New York […]

Gold Price Analysis: XAU/USD ticks up to $1,910 and turns positive on the day

Gold bounces from $1,900 support area and returns to $1,910.

XAU/USD appreciates moderately as risk aversion eases.

Gold futures have found support right below the $1,900 area earlier today before inching up to $1,910, turning positive on daily charts. The precious metal lost ground, with the US dollar building up during the European session on Tuesday, to appreciate during the North American session with market sentiment improving moderately. XAU/USD remains neutral around $1,900

From a wider perspective, bullion prices remain moving directionless within previous ranges, fluctuating both sides of the $1,900 level, with upside attempts capped around $1,910.Investor’s concerns about the consequences of the second COVID-19 wave, with infections soaring in the US and in the major European economies, have crushed appetite for risk, boosting demand for the US dollar and weighing on the dollar-denominated gold.Beyond that, renewed US-China tensions on the back of a potential sale […]

Gold is likely to win this election

Gold is likely to win this election

Trump and Biden debated for the second and last time in this campaign. So, who will win, and why gold is likely to be the biggest winner of them all?

President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden met for the second and the last debate before the elections. Thankfully, this time things were less chaotic and with far fewer interruptions and insults. Perhaps Trump has acknowledged that his aggressive behavior was a liability and decided to change his approach – especially since this was his final opportunity to alter the presidential campaign dynamics.

However, it might be too late now. According to both nation-wide and state-by-state polls, and market bets, Biden is still in a significant lead (as the chart below shows). Moreover, because of the postal voting, many votes are already locked in, as a record 47 million Americans have already cast their ballots. In addition to the above, […]

Gold and silver – don’t fear the wall of worry

Investors today seem to love jumping on whatever asset’s price is soaring. Tesla is going vertical? Buy Tesla. Gold is going vertical? Buy gold stocks. Already overvalued? No problem—it’s hot!

This sort of momentum-chasing is no “buy low, sell high” strategy. It can work if a greater fool comes along, but if one buys just as momentum falters, the losses are major.

All obvious, I know, but needed to set the stage.

Now, gold bugs enter the scene, stage right.We buy gold and silver whenever we can… but gold and silver stocks? Do we buy at the bottom in late 2015? After the failed rally in 2016? Or during the Crash of 2008?A few of us did—precious few. More were spooked out of the market. Many took huge losses in the process.I’ve seen evidence of this in the flow of reader correspondence over the years. Perhaps more telling is that subscriptions tend […]

Gold prices were little changed on Wednesday, staying above the $1,900-mark, as uncertainties about U.S. elections and surging global Covid-19 cases countered pressure from a firmer dollar and fading hopes of an immediate U.S. stimulus package.

Spot gold was steady as $1,906.15 per ounce by 0329 GMT. U.S. gold futures were down 0.3% at $1,907.10.“Investors need a reason to buy more gold and the reason to buy gold will come from a policy signal,” said Stephen Innes, chief global market strategist at Axi.“With the virus raging all over, we are going to get stimulus at some point … This is also probably leaning towards more central bank intervention because the economic hit is going to be quite significant,” he […]

Gold Futures: Room for extra gains near-term

Gold Futures: Room for extra gains near-term

In light of preliminary figures for Gold futures markets from CME Group, open interest reversed three pullbacks in a row and went up by around 4.7K contracts on Tuesday. In the same line, volume extended the downtrend for the third consecutive session, this time by nearly 10.3K contracts. Gold meets initial hurdle at $1,920/oz

As gold surges, mining threatens one-fifth of Indigenous lands in the Amazon

As gold surges, mining threatens one-fifth of Indigenous lands in the Amazon

Shutterstock Curioso.Photography Close Authorship Aerial view of Amazon River. For decades, the Yaigojé Apaporis Indigenous People in Colombia’s lower Apaporis River Basin worked to get their traditional lands formally recognized by the government and secured from outside threats. Initially protected as the Yaigojé Apaporis Reserve, it also was declared an Indigenous territory in 1988.

But in 2007, Cosigo Resources, a Canadian mining company, requested from the government a gold mining concession within the Yaigojé Apaporis Reserve. The Yaigojé Apaporis were alarmed, but unlike other Indigenous groups around the world, they had some legal options. Laws in Colombia recognize Indigenous peoples’ right of consultation, although not consent. They also provide Indigenous communities with the right of first refusal, meaning they are first offered the mineral rights before the government can grant a mining concession to a third party. And while national laws allow mining on Indigenous lands, it is not permitted […]

Gold is doing it again

Gold is doing it again

Gold is trading really close to its 2011 all-time high. This is obviously a critical level for the future of gold prices.

Historically gold in US dollars often clears significant all-time highs only some time after significant currencies like the Euro and British pound.

This is mainly due to US dollar behaviour during times of significant risk aversion, like we’ve had this year and 2008, for example.

The following charts comparing gold in USD, in GBP and in Euro shows just that: Gold in USD only surpassed its significant March 2008 high about a year after gold in GBP and Euro did it. We have a similar setup where gold in GBP and Euro already hit their 2012 high around August 2019.Both GBP gold and Euro gold are sitting comfortably above their 2012 high. History strongly suggests that USD gold will follow and get comfortably above the 2012 high real soon.The US […]

Gold Bar Buying Rallies in China as ETF Investing ‘Plugs Covid Demand Gap’, Stocks Markets Slip

GOLD BARS traded in London ticked higher in quiet trade Tuesday, holding in a tight $10 range above $1900 per ounce as world stock markets extended yesterday’s US plunge as the Covid pandemic’s second wave worsened ahead of next week’s US presidential election.

US tech-stock index the Nasdaq struggled to rally from Monday’s 2.0% drop, led by German-based SAP (Nasdaq: SAP) plunging over 20% after it slashed 2020’s earnings outlook on falling sales amid the global virus crisis.

The EuroStoxx 600 index meantime slipped to trade 5.0% below the peak first reached in June, halving the spring’s Covid Crash.

Wholesale gold bars priced in Euros have added €100 per ounce since then, trading at €1611 in London on Tuesday. "Gold is continuing to lack support from physical gold demand in Asia," says Germany’s Commerzbank in a note. "Swiss trade data had revealed last week that gold demand in India and China was […]

PRECIOUS-Gold gains as fresh virus wave looms over economic recovery

* Palladium to test $2,600/oz by mid-2021 -UBS * Interactive graphic tracking global spread of coronavirus: here (Updates prices) By Eileen Soreng Oct 27 (Reuters) – Gold prices rose on Tuesday as a weaker dollar and a fresh wave of coronavirus infections threatened to further slow down a global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, bolstering bullion’s safe-haven appeal. Spot gold was 0.1% higher at $1,903.16 per ounce by 0801 GMT. U.S. gold futures were steady at $1,906.50. "The resurgence of COVID-19 is leading to a broader risk-off sentiment in global markets and this is supportive of safe-haven assets," said Harshal Barot, senior research consultant for South Asia at Metals Focus. "Investors are clearly not bearish on gold at the moment… Long-term investors continue to hold gold amid the broader uncertainty, be it the U.S. elections or the pandemic," Barot added.

( Kitco News ) – Gold is still moving sideways into the US session. The histogram on the right-hand side of the chart shows the amount of volume that has been traded at what price and now a large peak is being formed near $1905.9 per ounce.

There was not a significant test of the purple resistance line but if the bulls are to take control of this market it would need to be broken. On the downside, the next support remains at the blue line near $1885 per ounce. Silver is also struggling at the area where most contracts […]

(Kitco News) With the U.S. election seven days away, gold traders are now in the wait-and-see mode, says TD Securities. "Participants are also evaluating the potential for a fiscal stimulus deal to be struck in the lame duck session — which hinges on the election results," write TD Securities commodity strategists. A blue wave scenario at the polls is likely to offer support to the gold price in the long-term, the strategists add. "A Blue Wave has driven expectations of a lower dollar, as more stimulus fuels a global reflationary wave, but it has also fueled the bear steepening in the Treasury curve. While we think the Fed will mitigate these risks shortly after the election by extending […]

Gold ‘Steady As She Goes’ Ahead of Election

Gold ‘Steady As She Goes’ Ahead of Election

Attention in the capital markets is strictly focused on whether investors can count on more stimulus measures before the forthcoming U.S. presidential election. Gold is as steady as she goes pre-election, but with rising coronavirus cases, can it tick higher before voters head to the polls?

Per a Kitco News article , “Investor demand is holding relatively steady, in line with the recent price action, according to the latest trade data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Hedge funds remain active investors in the gold market; however, analysts have noted that nobody is making significant bullish or bearish bets ahead of the Nov. 3 U.S. General Election.”

“With a Biden win increasingly being priced in, some may have decided to step aside until after November 3. Not least considering the memory of 2016 when the Trump win helped trigger a 15% correction in the weeks following the election,” said Ole […]

Gold Price Prediction – Prices Edge Higher as US Yields Fall

Gold Price Prediction – Prices Edge Higher as US Yields Fall

Gold prices moved higher but the price action continued to form a sideways range. The dollar moved lower along with US treasury yields which appear to have broken down below support near the 50-day moving average.

Gold investment demand continues to drive markets as physical demand continues to fall - Refinitiv

Gold investment demand continues to drive markets as physical demand continues to fall – Refinitiv

Editor’s Note: Get caught up in minutes with our speedy summary of today’s must-read news stories and expert opinions that moved the precious metals and financial markets. Sign up here! (Kitco News) – Investment demand, in an environment of low interest rates and unending uncertainty and turmoil, remains the singular driving force in the gold market, according to analysts at Refinitiv.

In a report last week, the research firm said that physical gold demand fell by 562 tonnes in the third quarter, down 30% compared to the third quarter of 2019. However, dismal physical demand has had little impact on prices as gold pushed to an all-time high above $2,000 in early August.

Commodity analysts at Refinitiv said that gold prices averaged $1,909 an ounce between July and September, up 27% from the second quarter and up 30% from last year.

Although physical demand is expected to continue to struggle, analysts at […]
