Gold price is at a new all-time high after breaking above the $2,250 level.
The gold futures contract gained 1.16% on Thursday, March 28, as it broke to a new record high despite stronger U.S. dollar. The market went close to the $2,250 level, after breaking above its recent local highs along the $2,225 level.
Three weeks ago, gold was advancing in a reaction to economic data releases, weakening U.S. dollar and rallying stock prices. On February 14, gold was the lowest since mid-December, after breaking below local lows from January on the CPI release. Since then, it gained over $200.
This morning gold is reaching yet another new records, as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
The gold price is 0.7% higher, as it is trading at a new all-time high, along the $2,270 level. What about the other precious metals? Silver is 0.2% higher, platinum is 0.2% higher and palladium is 0.6% higher. So, the main precious metals’ prices are higher this morning.
Friday’s important Core PCE Price Index release has been as expected at +0.3% m/m. Today, we will get the ISM Manufacturing PMI number at 10:00 a.m., among others.
