Gold Futures

Gold futures in the February contract settled last Friday in New York at 1,252 an ounce while currently trading at 1,240 down about $12 for the trading week lower for the 2nd consecutive session. I have been recommending a bullish position from around the 1,252 level, and if you took that trade, the stop loss has been raised to 1,226 as the chart structure is outstanding due to the low volatility. Gold prices hit a five-month high in last week's trade, but the U.S. Dollar has hit a 1.5 year high today as that is putting pressure on gold and the precious metals across the board as I will not 2nd guess as I will continue to place the proper stop loss and see what next week's trade brings. Money flows have been exiting the U.S equity market rather dramatically over the last several weeks as that has helped push gold prices higher as I also have a bullish silver recommendation which is also under pressure in today's trade. The next major level of resistance around the 1,255 level and if that is broken I think there is the possibility prices could trade up to the 1,300 level in the coming weeks or months ahead as I would have to believe that the volatility will start to expand as we exit 2018.

Gold Futures

Gold futures in the February contract is currently trading at 1,252 after settling last Friday in New York at 1,226 up about $26 for the trading week breaking out to a five-month high. Money flows are coming out of the U.S equity market which is sharply lower once again today while now entering the precious metals across the board as I am looking closely at a bullish position in silver as well as it seems to me that the precious metals are going higher. I am now recommending a bullish position from around the 1,252 level and if you're going to take this trade place the stop loss under the 10-day low which now stands at 1,216 as the risk is around $3,600 per large contract plus slippage and commission or about $800 per mini contract. Gold prices are trading above their 20 and 100-day moving average as the trend is clearly to the upside as this commodity is used as a flight to safety as investors are getting spooked by the volatility in the S&P 500 while taking money out of that sector and heading into gold. The chart structure will start to improve later next week as the monetary risk will also be lowered as the volatility remains relatively low with the next major level of resistance all the way up around the 1,275 level as I think there is room to run as I have not recommended a gold position for quite some time

Silver Futures

Silver Futures in the December contract is trading higher for the 3rd consecutive session up another $0.07 at 14.33 an ounce after settling last Friday at 14.14 up nearly $0.20 for the trading week. Silver prices hit a contract low on November 14th at 13.86 as we are right near a three year and ten year low as the strong U.S. dollar has undoubtedly put pressure on this commodity as I am currently sitting on the sidelines waiting for a trend to develop. Silver prices are trading under their 20, and 100-day moving average as the trend is to the downside, but this market has been very choppy over the last several months in a directionless trend. I'm advising clients to avoid silver and look at other markets that are beginning to trend as I still believe we will have bullish trends come 2019 as I think demand will come back to many commodities sectors, but I don't see anything developing in silver for the next several months. Gold prices are also still hovering around the 1,200 level as that is also experiencing a choppy to lower trend as the precious metals need a weaker dollar not a stronger dollar & until that happens prices will remain depressed.

Gold Futures

Gold futures in the December contract settled last Friday in New York at 1,233 an ounce while currently trading at 1,211 down over $20 for the trading week as the precious metals across the board look to move lower in my opinion. Gold prices are trading below their 20 and 100-day moving average as the trend has turned negative because the U.S. dollar is right near another contract high as interest rates in the United States are on the rise and should continue to climb into 2019. If you are bearish, I would place the stop loss at 1,239 as an exit strategy as it looks to me that prices will retest the 1,195 level possibly in next week's trade as the commodities across the board look very week as now everything is following crude oil to the downside. Silver prices are down over $0.25 today as it looks like that will retest their contract low of 13.96 possibly in next weeks trade as that is also putting pressure on gold as the only bullish commodity is the S&P 500 which reacted very positively to the midterm elections. Volatility in gold is starting to increase and remember if you're trading a smaller account you can trade the mini contract which is 1/3 of the size of the large contract, therefore, reducing the monetary risk.

Gold Futures

Gold futures in the December contract settled last Friday in New York at 1,235 an ounce while currently trading at 1,233 unchanged for the trading week hitting a three week low in Wednesday's trade before rallying sharply yesterday because the U.S. dollar was down 90 points. I'm sitting on the sidelines as this market remains extremely choppy with no trend even though we are trading above their 20 and 100-day moving average as gold prices have been supported by the breakout which has occurred in the platinum market which is also higher once again in today's trade. The next major level of resistance is around the 1,245 level as that has to be broken for the bullish momentum to continue. I still have a bullish bias towards the U.S. dollar despite the recent setback so keep an eye on this market while looking at other commodities that are beginning to trend as many of the sectors have come to life. Volatility in gold is average at the current time as we are experiencing $20 up and down days, but that's pretty normal for this market over the course of time and remember if you have a smaller account you can always trade the mini contract which is 1/3 of the large contract.
