Gold went closer to $1,900 price level; markets await further data releases.
The gold futures contract lost 0.08% on Wednesday, June 28 as it went along its recent local lows. The market reached new low of $1,911.40 yesterday before bouncing back above the $1,920 level. Recently gold has been bouncing from that level, but a stronger U.S. dollar pushed the yellow metal’s price lower.
In May gold retreated from new medium-term high of $2,085.40 and in early March it was selling off after the Fed Chief Powell’s hawkish testimony. Then it rebounded from the local low of around $1,813.
Today gold is trading slightly lower as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
The gold price is 0.2% lower this morning as it is trading below the $1,920 level again. What about the other precious metals? Silver is 0.7% higher, platinum is 0.4% higher and palladium is 1.3% lower. So the main precious metals’ prices are mixed this morning.
Yesterday’s Wholesale Inventories release has been slightly lower than expected at -0.1% m/m. Today We will get the Final GDP, Unemployment Claims releases at 8:30 a.m., among others.
