Gold Futures

Gold futures in the December contract settled last Friday in New York at 1,274 an ounce while currently trading at 1,284 up about $10 for the trading week and right near a four week high. I will be recommending a bullish position if prices close above 1,290 while then placing the stop loss under the 10-day low standing at 1,269 risking $2,100 per contract plus slippage and commission as the chart structure is outstanding due to very low volatility. Gold prices are trading above their 20 & 100-day moving averages as the trend is to the upside and I am also looking at entering into a bullish silver position as the U.S. dollar is near a four week low helping push prices up here in the short term. Gold prices have gone nowhere over the last month or so with extremely low volatility, and I don't think that's going to last much longer so keep a close eye on this market to the upside. If you have been following any of my previous blogs you understand that I am bullish the commodity markets as they are very cheap compared to the U.S. stock market and I think the volatility will be to the upside not to the downside as demand will start coming back into these products.
TREND: HIGHER
CHART STRUCTURE: EXCELLENT

Gold Futures

Gold futures in the December contract settled last Friday in New York at 1,269 an ounce while currently trading at 1,285 up about $16 for the trading week holding major support on multiple occasions around the 1,264 level as it looks to me that a possible rounding bottom might be taking place in this commodity. I am not involved in gold. However, I am looking at a potential bullish position as prices are right near three-week highs with excellent chart structure; therefore, the monetary risk is relatively low for such a volatile commodity. Gold prices are now trading above their 20 & 100-day moving average telling you that the short-term trend is higher and I do have a bullish bias in silver as that commodity looks very cheap at the moment. Keep a close eye on gold as we could be involved in a bullish position in next week's trade. Gold prices have held support in recent weeks despite the fact that the U.S. dollar is at a three month high & if that trend should reverse and start to move lower that would be a positive fundamental situation towards gold prices. I still think many of the commodity sectors are underpriced as I will not take any short positions as we head into 2018 as the volatility in gold remains remarkably low as we have gone nowhere over the last six weeks. However, I think a trend to the upside is looming.

Gold Futures

Gold futures in the December contract settled last Friday in New York at 1,271 an ounce while currently trading at 1,277 up about $6 for the trading week in a very non-volatile trading manner. I'm currently sitting on the sidelines as there is no trend at the current time. The U.S. dollar is trading at a three month high, and that is keeping a lid on gold prices in the short-term coupled with the fact that the U.S. stock market is hitting all-time highs. All of the interest lies in the equity market & not in gold as money flows continue to come out of this commodity. Gold prices are trading under their 20 and 100-day moving average telling you that the trend is lower. I still think we will retest major support around 1,262 and if that is broken, we could head below 1,250 in the coming weeks. I just don't see any reason to own gold when the stock market goes up on a daily basis. The chart structure is starting to improve due to low volatility in recent weeks, and we could be involved in this commodity shortly so keep this market on your radar, but in the short term look at other markets that are beginning to break out.
TREND: LOWER
CHART STRUCTURE: IMPROVING

Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the December contract settled last Friday in New York at 51.84 a barrel while currently trading at 52.52 up to around $0.70 for the trading week continuing its slow, methodical bullish trend. However, the true breakout to the upside stands at 53.11 which could happen in today's trade despite the fact that the U.S. dollar continues its bullish momentum hitting another three month high in today's trade. The main reason that crude oil continues to move higher is that strong demand continues to prop up prices as heating oil and unleaded gasoline are hitting contract highs once again and if you've noticed at the retail gas stations prices are relatively high. I think these trends will continue throughout 2017 as the U.S. economy is very strong coupled with very low unemployment. Crude oil is trading above its 20 and 100-day moving average and the trend is clearly to the upside and I'm recommending a bullish position if prices breakout above 53.11 while then placing the stop loss under the two week low standing at 50.87 risking around $2.20 or $1,100 per mini contract plus slippage & commission. Tthe chart structure is solid due to very low volatility.

Gold Futures

Gold futures in the December contract settled last Friday in New York at 1,275 an ounce while currently trading at 1,304 up nearly $30 for the trading week bottoming out last Friday around 1,262. I'm currently not involved in this market or any of the precious metals as gold and silver have remained extremely choppy in recent months. Gold prices are now near a three week high as the U.S. dollar has now hit a three week low and that has helped push prices up this week, and they are now trading above their 20 and 100-day moving average as the trend is higher. However, in my opinion, avoid this market as the trend is truly mixed. The stock market has hit another all-time high in today's trade as money has been coming out of gold & into the equity market over the last several weeks as I remain very bullish stocks. I think gold will remain choppy for the rest of 2017 unless some development happens with North Korea as that could reemerge at any moment. I still think that situation is not going away and I do think the downside in gold is limited. However, I will wait for better chart structure & a better risk/reward scenario before getting involved.
