Gold Price Bouncing Back And Forth

The gold futures contract gained 0.54% on Tuesday, as it retraced most of its Monday’s decline of 0.58%. The price has been breaking above $1,750 mark recently. But it came back closer to $1,700 on Monday. Last Wednesday’s FOMC Statement 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 trading 0.4% lower this morning. What about the other precious metals? Silver gained 1.45% on Tuesday and today it is 0.1% higher. Platinum gained 2.70% and today it is 1.4% lower. Palladium gained 0.5% yesterday and today it is trading 0.2% lower. So precious metals extend their short-term fluctuations this morning.

Yesterday’s U.S. Retail Sales release with a reading of +17.7% has been much better than expected. But then the markets went lower following testimony from the Fed Chair Powell. Today we will have another round of Powell’s testimony at 12:00 a.m.
