Gold Closer To $1,750 Again As Fed Will Continue ZIRP

Stock Market Strategist & Author
June 12, 2020

The gold futures contract gained 1.11% on Thursday, as it slightly extended its short-term uptrend. The risk-on and gold has been selling off as a safe-haven asset recently. But Wednesday’s FOMC stsatement came out as a short-term game-changer. Stock prices reversed lower and gold spiked higher. However, it is still trading within a medium-term consolidation, as we can see on the daily chart:

Gold is gaining 0.5% this morning, as it’s getting back closer to yesterday’s daily high. What about the other precious metals? Silver gained 0.52% on Thursday and today it is 0.1% lower. Platinum lost 2.60% and today it is 0.6% higher. Palladium lost 1.07% on Thursday and today it is 1.5% higher. So precious metals trade along their yesterday’s daily highs today.

The recent economic data releases have been confirming negative coronavirus impact on global economies. However, last Friday’s US monthly jobs data came out much better than expected. And the NonFarm Payrolls number has been positive. Yesterday’s Unemployment Claims number release has been as expected at around 1.5 million. Today, we will get the Preliminary Michigan Sentiment number at 8:30 a.m. It will likely remain around 20-25 points below its 2015-2020 average value of 95-100 points. Its previous release was at 72.3.
