Gold price bounces from its lows, Consumer Sentiment release is in focus.
The gold futures contract lost 0.2% on Monday, May 29 as it extended a consolidation along its local lows. Recently gold was selling off on strengthening U.S. dollar, among other factors. Last week it went below the $1,950 level. In early May the yellow metal retreated from its medium-term high of $2,085.40.
In early March gold 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 higher as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
The gold price is 0.6% higher this morning as it is trading along the $1,970 level (futures contract’s new series). What about the other precious metals? Silver is 0.2% higher, platinum is 0.6% higher and palladium is 2.0% higher. So the main precious metals’ prices are higher this morning.
Today we will get the important CB Consumer Confidence release at 10:00 a.m.
