Gold Futures

Gold futures in the December contract is currently trading at 1,187 an ounce after settling last Friday in New York at 1,219 down about $32 for the week while trading as low as 1,167 in Thursday's trade before profit-taking took place pushing prices back up to today's levels. If you have read any of my previous blogs, you understand that I am bearish all of the precious metals across the board. If you are short, place the stop loss above the 10-day high which now stands at 1,226, however, the chart structure will not improve for another four trading sessions as I still believe we will retest major support around the 1,125 level in the coming weeks ahead. The U.S dollar is down about 30 points today trading lower for the 2nd consecutive session, but that remains in a bullish trend as that has been the main culprit for gold prices coupled with the fact that there is very weak demand and very little interest at the current time. Presently I am also recommending a bullish S&P 500 trade which is unchanged today but remains strong as money flows continue to go into U.S. equities & out of the precious metals. I see no reason to own gold and no reason to try and bottom fish and take a bullish position at this time as that would be counter-trend trading which is very dangerous in the long run. Silver prices this week also hit a contract low & remains weak as that is also putting pressure on gold as these trends are getting stronger on a weekly basis and I still think there is one more leg to the downside ahead.

Gold Futures

Gold futures settled last Friday in New York at 1,232 an ounce while currently trading at 1,224 down about $8 for the trading week while also hitting a fresh contract low earlier in the trading session today all the way down to 1,212 as this market remains bearish, but rallied off of a somewhat negative U.S. unemployment number. Gold prices are still trading under their 20 and 100-day moving average as this trend is to the downside and if you have read any of my previous blogs you understand that I am bearish gold and the precious metals across the board. If you're short, a futures contract continue to place the stop loss above the 10-day high which stands at 1,245 on the closing basis only as I still think the 1,200 level is broken possibly next week. The U.S. stock market is higher once again today as that is where money flows are headed and out of the precious metals. I see no reason to own gold as I still think historically speaking prices look expensive and I think we can trade down to the 1,125 level in the coming months ahead so stay short and continue to place the proper stop loss as today's slight gains were based on profit-taking only. Large hedge funds are short a record amount of gold contracts as they still believe lower prices are ahead as the volatility remains relatively low. However, I don't think that will last much longer.

Gold Futures

Gold futures in the August contract settled last Friday in New York at 1,231 an ounce while currently trading at 1,222 lower for the 2nd consecutive session continuing its bearish momentum as it looks to retest the July 19th contract low of 1,210 next week. If you are short a futures contract, continue to place the stop loss above the 10-day high. However, the chart structure will improve tremendously come next week; therefore, the monetary risk will also be lowered. I still see no reason to own gold at present. The GDP report was announced this morning as the U.S economy grew by 4.1% which is outstanding in my opinion coupled with the fact that the 10-year note is now yielding 2.97% as both of those fundamental indicators are bearish towards gold prices. The U.S. stock market continues to move higher on a monthly basis as the NASDAQ 100, and the Russell 2000 hit all-time highs as the money flows continue to go into the equity markets & out of the precious metals as I am currently recommending a bullish S&P 500 trade as that market is higher once again today. Gold is trading under their 20 and 100-day moving average as the short-term trend is to the downside as the volatility remains relatively low as I think we could crack the 1,200 level in next weeks trade so stay short as I'm certainly not recommending any bullish position as the trend is strong to the downside.

Gold Futures

Gold futures in the August contract is trading at 1,229 an ounce finishing lower by another $12 for the trading week continuing its bearish momentum. I've talked about this market for quite some time as I remain bearish and I think there's a lot of room to run to the downside as 1,200 is in the cards possibly this week. The entire precious metal sector continues to melt away on a daily basis, and I sound like a broken record as I see no reason own gold or any of the precious metals at this time as the U.S. dollar continues its bullish momentum as fundamentally & technically speaking the gold market has nothing bullish at this time. Gold prices are trading far under their 20 and 100-day moving average telling you that the short-term trend is to the downside, and if 1,200 is broken, we could test last year's low around 1,125 as I still think prices look expensive. The NASDAQ 100 and Russell 2000 hit another all-time yesterday as that's where all the money flows are flowing, and all of the interest lies in the equity market and not in gold. I think this trend will continue throughout 2018 coupled with the fact that the commodity markets remain extremely weak as the uncertainty about the Trump tariffs have certainly put the kibosh on prices in the short term and if you are short stay short.

Gold futures in the August contract is currently trading at 1,242 an ounce after settling last Friday in New York at 1,255 down about $13 for the trading week hitting a fresh contract low as I remain bearish gold and as I have talked about in many previous blogs I think we're headed towards the 1,200 area relatively soon. The precious metals across the board continue their bearish momentum on a daily, and weekly basis as the U.S dollar remains strong, and the U.S equity market also is in a significant bullish trend as the NASDAQ 100, and the Russell 2000 hit all-time highs in yesterday's trade. Money flows continue to come out of the precious metal sector and into the equity market, and I don't see that ending anytime soon. I see no reason to own gold at this time and if you are short, stay short and place the stop loss above the 10-day high standing at 1,267 as the chart structure will also improve in next week's trade, therefore, the risk will also be lowered. Gold prices are trading far under their 20 and 100-day moving average as the trend is to the downside as volatility is average at the current time, but investors presently don't want to own anything except for stocks and possibly the crude oil market. I'm not recommending any bullish position in gold as a bottoming pattern has not been formed yet in my opinion as prices still look expensive.
