The gold futures contract gained 1.35% on Friday, as it retraced most of the decline from mid-May high of 1,775.80. Early in the last week it has been extending a consolidation after bouncing off $1,700 support level on Wednesday. Gold price is still trading within its medium-term consolidation, as we can see on the daily chart:

Gold is 0.3% higher today, as it is trading within its Friday’s daily range. Financial markets remain in risk-on mode, as stocks continue to hover along their medium-term highs.

Palladium gained 1.36% yesterday and today it is 0.5% higher. So precious metals extend their Friday’s advances this morning.
