Technical Analysis

Gold prices moved whipsawed higher closing near 6-year highs. Prices sliced back above  the 10-day moving average, which is now seen as support near the 10-day moving average near 1,425. Target support on the yellow metal is seen near the 50-day moving average at 1,386.Resistance is seen near the July highs at 1,453. Short term momentum turned positive as the fast stochastic generated a crossover buy signal. Medium term momentum is neutral as the MACD (moving average convergence divergence) histogram is printing in the red with a rising  trajectory which points to consolidation.

Riskier assets whipsawed along with gold as the surprise tariffs President Donald Trump announced Thursday against $300 billion or so of Chinese goods takes the trade dispute between the two countries to a new level. The president’s announcement jolted markets, which had bounced back sharply off Wednesday’s disappointing Fed rate cut only to have their legs cut out from underneath by news of a heightened trade war. Trump’s move means that all Chinese goods entering the U.S. will be subject to some sort of duties.
