Daily Gold News: Thursday, Dec. 10 – Uncertainty Ahead of ECB News

The gold futures contract lost 1.94% on Wednesday, as it retraced some of its recent advances. Last week the market has reached a new low following breaking below local lows along the price level of $1,850. Four 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 market bounced off its mid-November local highs yesterday, as we can see on the daily chart ( the chart includes today’s intraday data ):

Gold is 0.2% lower this morning, as it is trading close to yesterday’s daily low. What about the other precious metals? Silver lost 3.02% on Wednesday and today it is 0.3% lower. Platinum lost 1.78% and today it is 0.9% higher. Palladium lost 1.60% on Wednesday and today it’s 1.4% higher. So precious metals are mixed this morning .

Yesterday’s Wholesale Inventories release has been slightly bigger than expected at +1.1%.

Today the markets will be closely watching ECB releases at 7:45 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. We will also have the U.S. Consumer Price Index release at 8:30 a.m.
