Daily Gold News: Selling Pressure as Gold Gets Closer to $1,800

The gold futures contract lost 1.85% on Monday, as it broke below its recent local lows along the price level of $1,850. Two weeks ago gold sold off 5% in one day after global financial markets’ euphoria rally in reaction to Covid-19 Pfizer’s vaccine news release. The yellow metal came back down to $1,850 price level. And yesterday there has been a breakdown below that support level, as we can see on the daily chart ( the chart includes today’s intraday data ):

Gold is 1.3% lower this morning, as it is extending yesterday’s decline. What about the other precious metals? Silver lost 3.00% on Monday and today it is 1.9% lower. Platinum lost 2.66% and today it is 0.2% lower. Palladium gained 1.31% yesterday and today it’s 1.0% higher. So precious metals are lower again this morning .

Yesterday’s U.S. Flash Manufacturing PMI and Flash Services PMI releases have both been better than expected. The markets will now wait for today’s Consumer Confidence release at 10:00 a.m. It is expected to reach 97.7, down from last month’s value of 100.9. Tomorrow we will get the Preliminary GDP and the FOMC Meeting Minutes releases, among others.
