Gold Futures

Gold futures are right near 3 year lows going out this Friday afternoon at 1,200 an ounce after falling $40 in yesterday’s trade due to the fact that the Federal Reserve announced the beginning of its tapering program of bond purchases which is construed as negative towards goal prices as the money flow continues in the S&P 500 and out of the precious metals as investors see no reason to be long the gold market at this time. Gold futures have dropped Continue reading "Weekly Futures Recap With Mike Seery"

Gold Futures

Gold futures had a wild trading week with a $30 up day and $30 down day finishing up about $5 for the trading week in the February contract going out this Friday in New York at 1,235 an ounce finishing up $11 this Friday afternoon as the trend still remains bearish in my opinion & I still believe that there’s a high probability that prices will retest the summer lows of 1,180 here in the next couple of weeks. Next week will be very interesting to see if the Fed does taper bond purchases and how these markets will react so expect extreme volatility in the precious metals especially if tapering is announced. I would definitely expect prices to drop rather significantly quickly but the opposite could happen as well as if there is no tapering you could get a big knee-jerk reaction to the upside so I’m advising just to sit on the sidelines and see what the statement says and go from there because it’s like flipping a coin at this time but the trend is to the downside so at least in the short-term prices still look vulnerable. Gold is still trading below its 20 and 100 day moving average we really have gone nowhere in the last month but we had extreme volatility as there is major support down at those levels. Gold is down about 35% from its all-time high of about 1,900 just a couple years ago and eventually there will be a bottom in this market I just don’t think quite yet.
TREND: LOWER

Gold Futures

The monthly unemployment report came out at this morning stating that we added 203, 000 new jobs which was construed very bullish sending the stock market higher and gold lower due to the fact of tapering possibly happening as soon as March as the unemployment rate is now 7.0% as traders see no reasonable to own gold as the economy here in the United States and around the world are improving dramatically sending the S&P right near record highs once again today and selling off gold by $4 at 1,228 currently here on the night session this Friday afternoon in New York. Gold is trading below its 20 & 100 day moving average continuing its bearish trend hitting a 5 month low with major support at 1,210 which was hit twice this week and rebounded but it looks to me that we almost certainly have to retest 1,180 which was last summer’s low.
TREND: LOWER

Gold Futures

Gold futures for the December contract sold off about $37 dollars from last Friday’s settlement of 1,287 as pessimism continues to grow in the precious metals as demand is at 4 year low as investors are selling gold ETF’s pushing prices lower and taking that money and putting it into the S&P 500 and NASDAQ which continue to make new highs once again today. Volatility in gold at this time is a 6 out of 10 meaning volatility can get much higher in my opinion as gold has been kind of grinding lower so if you’re looking to get short the gold market I would look at February put options or look at some bear put spreads for the month of April limiting your loss to what the premium costs as gold has entered into a bearish trend at this time. Gold looks weak right now and I do think prices will retest Continue reading "Weekly Futures Recap With Mike Seery"

Gold Futures

Gold futures in New York this week were slightly higher settling at 1,288 after rallying $20 in yesterday’s trade as renewed optimism about the Federal Reserve continuing its quantitative easing for years to come pushing prices sharply higher after hitting a 5 week low down at 1,260 earlier in the week still continuing its downtrend in my opinion. The next major support is at 1,251 and if that level is broken you would have to think that prices will go down & retest the June lows of 1,180 but this market has been resilient when it looks its worst it has a tremendous rally & when it looks really good it has a tremendous sell off so at this point I would advise sitting on the sidelines and wait for a breakout to occur below 1,251 before entering to the downside as demand has hit a 4 year low as investors continue to pour money into the stock market and continues to sell gold and the precious metals and that is why you see the divergence between the S&P 500 and gold prices. Gold is trading far below its 20 and 100 day moving average which tells you that the trend in the short term is lower but this market has been very choppy for quite some time so look at some other commodities like the S&P 500 because a trendy market is much easier to make money then a choppy market.
TREND: LOWER
