Daily Gold News: Thursday, Sep. 30 – Gold’s Consolidation Following Yesterday’s Decline

The gold futures contract lost 0.84% on Wednesday, as it further extended a short-term downtrend following breaking below $1,750 price level. Recently, the market continued to trade along the $1,750 price level after breaking below local lows of around $1,780 more than w week ago as series of the U.S. economic data releases along with the rallying U.S. dollar led to a sell-off in precious metals. This morning gold is trading along yesterday’s daily closing price, as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):

Today gold is 0.2% lower, as it is trading close to yesterday’s local low. What about the other precious metals? Silver is 0.1% lower, platinum is 0.5% higher and palladium is 2.1% higher. So precious metals’ prices are mixed this morning.

Yesterday’s Pending Home Sales release has been higher than expected at +8.1%. Today we will get the Final GDP, Unemployment Claims and Chicago PMI releases. We will also have a testimony from the Fed Chair Powell at 10:00 a.m. and some more Fed-talk later in the day.
