Gold Market Analysis - After the Greek Election

Recommended Posts

A trading secret about Gold that allows you to know which direction Gold is going to go before it goes there, allowing you to take trades based upon this secret and have a very high degree of accuracy. Activity in the gold market appears to be ordinary fluctuation, mostly by day traders - there is no indication of increased interest in the gold market.

 

The gold is approaching the lower limit of its medium term bearish channel at 1,579 suggesting a rebound. However, a break through this level will release good potential and initiate a more violent bearish channel.

 

Technical indicators provide buy-signals and evolves in oversell zone supporting the assumption of a rebound. Bollinger bands are much discarded as a result of a strong decline these days. Stabilization is expected in a short term.

 

Gold continues to push to new highs for the week, underpinned by persistent concerns that results from weekend elections in Greece and France will further roil markets. Additionally, another grim round of US data continues to nudge QE3 expectations higher. Major central banks are attempting to reassure markets that they stand ready to act in concert if need be, even as the Bank of England moved proactively in announcing a new liquidity facility which is to commence next week.

 

The outcome of the Greek elections on Sunday seems to favour commodities in general but not necessarily gold, according to early market indications on Monday.

 

According to US Commodity Futures Trading Commission data, money managers have raised net-long positions across 18 US futures and options by 9.1 percent ot 587,327 contracs in the week ended June 12. The Standard & Poor’s GSCI Spot Index of 24 commodities fell for five sessions through June 13, before rallying 1 percent the next two days to pare last week’s drop to 0.9 percent.

 

Despite conditions ripe for a major upsurge, gold prices have generally struggled to gain traction. Escalating uncertainties surrounding global growth in general and Europe, in particular, have capped the upside as investors are undecided whether gold should be treated as a safe haven asset or risky asset.

 

In the world market, gold prices are expected to continue to stay under pressure and trade in the broad $1,575-1,650 an ounce range. The dollar is most likely to remain strong and bouts of euro strength may allow gold prices to move up. However, there is little support from the physical market. Demand is tepid. So, much of gold price movement is based on hope rather than on any solid fundamental reason.

 

However Crude oil can trade with firm path taking cues from positive international prices. Oil rose to the highest in a week as projections showed the two largest pro-bailout parties in Greece winning enough seats to forge a parliamentary majority, easing concern Europe’s debt crisis will worsen and crimp demand, SMC Global said.

 

According to "Barclays Research" Gold prices could move to $1640 per ounce but in the near term support is seen at $1580, 1560 while resistance is seen at 1641 and 1630.

Where is the secret? I feel like I was let down.

 

When you see a market pullback as much as gold has, you have to have some respect for the market itself.

 

If we look at the price of gold today at approximately $1,330, it pretty much equates to what happened in the last 30 years when gold was trading at a high of $850 an ounce. If you factor in inflation over the last 30 years, gold is probably lower now than it was 30 years ago. So how good an investment is gold? I think gold is more of a barometer of fear than anything else. Clearly there are other investments in the marketplace that have better returns.

The secret,.... never be wrong in your predictions and throw so much cut and paste into a post it becomes confusing. I dont trade gold but now I have absolutely no idea about it.

 

"The gold is approaching the lower limit of its medium term bearish channel at 1,579 suggesting a rebound. However, a break through this level will release good potential and initiate a more violent bearish channel........

 

".....Gold continues to push to new highs for the week,

I think the secret could be hiding in either

instead switch to Crude.....or

"If we look at the price of gold today at approximately $1,330, "......can I get gold at 1330

 

Andy.....no offense we are just pulling you leg, but whats the point? it is a bit confusing.

Thanks Siuya for your participation , so it becoming quite interactive , from the morning i was giving a close eye to a commodity market where the price of gold as shown a down ward rally but it, since the newly government accepted to agree on the bailout , however , it has not shown a drastic effect in the context of India as its currency is , since Indian currency is a weak against dollar, at present the gold is moving around 1623 and its next resistance zone is at 1800, So if the gold breakout its current support zone, it may come down around 1523 and if it breaks that also then it can come to 1370, but luckily as u have stated that u have holdings around 1300 you can obviously hold on , and follow the current price movement.

    • Date: 11th February 2025.   Market Update: Tariffs, Inflation, and Investor Sentiment Shape Global Markets.   Asian equities and US stock index futures experienced declines. At the same time, gold surged to a record high, reflecting investor caution following President Donald Trump’s announcement of new tariffs on US imports of steel and aluminium. Stock markets in Hong Kong and mainland China faced selling pressure, contributing to a regional downturn. Futures contracts for the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Euro Stoxx 50 also traded lower. Meanwhile, Japanese markets remained closed due to a public holiday. Gold, often seen as a safe-haven asset duringeconomic uncertainty, extended its rally for a third consecutive session, briefly surpassing $2,942 before paring some gains. The US dollar index maintained its Monday gains, signalling sustained strength amid market volatility. The precious metal has surged about 11% this year, setting successive records as Trump’s disruptive moves on trade and geopolitics reinforce its role as a store of value in uncertain times. US Steel and Metals Sector Reacts to Tariffs Shares of US Steel Corporation surged as much as 6% following Trump’s announcement, as domestic metals producers saw a boost from the prospect of increased business and stronger pricing power. Canada, Brazil, and Mexico, the top steel suppliers to the US, are expected to be significantly impacted by these trade restrictions. Trump stated that the new tariffs, effective in March, aim to revitalize domestic production and job growth. However, he also suggested the possibility of further tariff increases, adding to market uncertainty.     Investor Concerns Over Tariffs and Trade War Escalation Investors are grappling with the implications of Trump’s tariffs, particularly in distinguishing between policy announcements and concrete actions. The uncertainty surrounding additional levies and potential retaliatory measures has reignited fears of an intensifying global trade war. Tariffs on Chinese goods are already in effect, and concerns persist about further economic fallout. According to Christian Mueller-Glissmann, head of asset allocation research at Goldman Sachs, the key challenge in portfolio strategy now lies in identifying assets that can effectively hedge against tariff risks. Speaking to Bloomberg Television, he noted, “The big challenge is that this is going to be much more difficult from here because the tariffs are very specific.” Key Economic Data and Federal Reserve Testimony in Focus Beyond trade tensions, investors are closely watching this week’s critical economic reports and statements from Federal Reserve officials. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is set to testify before Congress, while fresh inflation data will provide further insight into price trends. According to the New York Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Expectations, inflation expectations for both the one-year and three-year outlooks remained steady at 3% in January. Short-term US inflation expectations have now risen above longer-term projections to their widest gap since 2023, signalling potential shifts in monetary policy. Inflation data, Powell’s congressional testimony, and tariffs are poised to drive the market today. A reprieve from negative surprises, such as the impact of DeepSeek, ongoing tariffs, and consumer sentiment concerns, could push S&P 500 to break out of its two-month consolidation.     Currency and Commodity Markets React The currency market also reflected shifting investor sentiment. The Japanese Yen remained largely unchanged. Meanwhile, the British Pound weakened after a report from the Financial Times cited Bank of England policymaker Catherine Mann’s concerns that weakening demand is beginning to outweigh inflationary risks. Gold’s continued ascent has been accompanied by significant inflows into bullion-backed exchange-traded funds. Global holdings have risen in six of the past seven weeks, reaching their highest levels since November. Banks have forecast that gold could test the $3,000 mark, with Citigroup predicting it could hit that level within three months and J.P. Morgan Private Bank projecting a year-end target of $3,150. Market Resilience Amid Trade Uncertainty Despite ongoing tariff tensions, equities have demonstrated resilience, leading some analysts to caution that further trade escalations could trigger renewed market pullbacks. Strategists at Deutsche Bank AG, including Binky Chadha, suggested that historical patterns indicate sharp but short-lived equity selloffs during geopolitical events, with markets typically rebounding before any formal de-escalation occurs. They projected that, in such scenarios, equity markets could decline by 6%-8% over a three-week period before recovering in a similar timeframe. China’s Growing Gold Reserves and Market Influence China’s central bank expanded its gold reserves for the third consecutive month in January, signalling an ongoing commitment to diversifying its holdings despite record-high prices. In addition, China introduced a pilot program allowing 10 major insurers to invest up to 1% of their assets in bullion for the first time. This initiative could translate into as much as 200 billion Yuan ($27.4 billion) in potential gold investments. Key Market Events to Watch This Week Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s semiannual testimony before the Senate Banking Committee today Speeches by Fed officials Beth Hammack, John Williams, and Michelle Bowman today US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, Wednesday As global markets continue to navigate economic uncertainties, investors remain watchful of trade developments, monetary policy signals, and inflation trends that could shape the financial landscape in the coming weeks.   Always trade with strict risk management.
