Bearish technicals limit buying interest in gold, silver gold silver Powell
- Gold and silver prices are modestly down in midday U.S. trading Wednesday, with gold notching a 3.5-month low overnight. A lack of markets-moving fundamental news at mid-week has traders focused more on the analytical charts for the precious metals, which are leaning bearish. August gold was last down $3.50 at $1,920.30 and July silver was down $0.095 at $22.865.
Asian and European stock markets were mixed overnight. U.S. stock indexes are mixed at midday. Risk aversion has eased at mid-week following the weekend insurrection in Russia that was quickly quelled. Quieter summertime trading ahead of the major U.S. Independence Day holiday next Tuesday seems to the feature at present.
Technically, August gold futures prices hit a 3.5-month low today. Bears have the overall near-term technical advantage. Prices are in a seven-week-old downtrend on the daily bar chart. Bulls’ next upside price objective is to produce a close above solid resistance at $2,000.00. Bears' next near-term downside price objective is pushing futures prices below solid technical support at $1,900.00. First resistance is seen at $1,930.00 and then at this week’s high of $1,943.40.
