Gold Futures

Gold futures in the December contract settled last Friday in New York at 1,523 while currently trading at 1,537 up nearly $28 for the week ending on a positive note all because it certainly looks like a trade war with China is going to escalate.

I am currently not involved in gold, but I do think higher prices are ahead and if you are long a futures contract continue to place the stop loss under the 2 week low standing at 1,488 as an exit strategy as I still think prices break the 1,600 level possibly in next week's trade. I have a bullish silver trade which continues to move higher weekly as I see no reason to be short the precious metals as the U.S. stock market is down another 450 points as the commodity markets remain weak across the board especially the agricultural sector.

Volatility in gold is exceptionally high, and that will continue for the rest of 2019 as prices are still trading above their 20 and 100-day moving average, however for the bullish momentum to continue prices have to break the April 13th contract high of 1,546, and I think that situation is going to occur so stay long if you are involved as I see no reason to take profits.

TREND: HIGHER

S&P 500 Futures

The S&P 500 in the September contract settled last Friday in Chicago at 2919 while currently trading at 2875 down about 45 points for the trading week experiencing incredibly high volatility as that situation is going to become more violent in the coming months.

I'm not involved, and I'm advising clients to avoid this market as it is like flipping a coin daily with no trend insight as there are better markets with a lot less risk at the current time.

The S&P 500 is trading below its 20 and 100-day moving average as the trend is to the downside as August historically speaking and be very shaky and that is precisely what's occurring. I will wait for the chart structure to improve, which could take several more weeks.

Bond markets across the world are spooking the equity market as there are now 12 countries with a negative interest rate as the 10-year note which I do have a bullish recommendation which is currently yielding 1.50% and looks to go much lower in my opinion. However, eventually, this will be bullish stock prices, but at the current time, the bond market might be telling you that a recession is around the bend.

I am bearish most of the commodity markets except for the precious metals as weak demand continues to hamper prices.

Gold Futures

Gold futures in the December contract is currently trading at 1,509 after settling last Friday in New York at 1,457 up over $50 for the trading week hitting a 6-year high as interest rates in the United States and worldwide continue to drop precipitously weekly. China devalued its currency this week to an 11 year low against the U.S dollar as there is sheer panic worldwide that is causing gold prices to move higher as I am not involved, but I do believe higher prices are ahead.

If you are long a futures contract place the stop loss under the 2 week low standing at 1,412 as the charge structure is terrible at the current time due to the run-up in prices, however, I also have bullish recommendations in silver and platinum as money flows continue to enter into these sectors.

Gold prices are trading far above their 20 and 100-day moving average as this is probably the strongest trend besides the bond market at the current time as I see no reason to be short especially with all this worldwide uncertainty so if you are long-stay long. If you are not involved in this market, I would not chase this as that is very dangerous as you have missed the boat so move on and look at other markets that are beginning to trend with less risk.

TREND: HIGHER
CHART STRUCTURE: EXCELLENT
VOLATILITY: INCREASING

Silver Futures

Silver futures in the September contract settled last Friday in New York at 16.39 an ounce while currently trading at 16.94 up about $0.55 as prices hit a 13 month high continuing its bullish momentum following the coattails of gold which is at a 6 year high.

Interest rates around the world continue to plunge to the downside as that is a fundamental bullish factor towards silver prices as I have been recommending a bullish position from the 14.93 level and if you took the trade continue to place the stop loss at 16.08 on a closing basis only as an exit strategy.

Gold Futures

Gold futures settled last Friday in New York at 1,432 while currently trading at 1,448 up about $16 for the trading week experiencing a wild trading session yesterday having a $45 range rallying sharply on the close because the Trump administration is going to levy more tariffs on China.

Gold prices are trading above their 20 & 100 moving average as this is the strongest precious metal at the current time. I still believe higher prices are ahead. However, I am not involved. I do have bullish recommendations in platinum, silver, and copper as they all experiencing high volatility over the last several days.

Gold prices are trading far above their 20 and 100-day moving average as clearly this trend is strong to the upside. However, for the bullish momentum to continue, we have to break the July 19th high of 1,467 as gold prices are right near a 6 year high.

The 10-year note is yielding 1.87% as I have a bullish recommendation in that market as that is helping fuel gold prices higher as European countries and Japan have negative interest rates so money flows are coming into gold and I don't think that situation is going to change anytime soon as I see no reason to be short.
