Technical analysis

Gold prices edged higher near support levels which coincides with the September lows at 1,848. Resistance is seen near the 10-day moving average at 1,897 and then the 50-day moving average at 1,908. Short-term momentum is neutral but the fast stochastic generated a crossover buy signal. The fast stochastic has stopped accelerating lower and is currently printing a reading of 21, just above the oversold trigger level of 20 which could foreshadow a correction. Medium-term momentum has turned negative as the MACD (moving average convergence divergence) index generated a crossover sell signal. This occurs as the MACD line (the 12-day moving average minus the 26-day moving average) crosses below the MACD signal line (the 9-day moving average of the MACD line).

US PPI Rises

The Labor Department said its producer price index climbed 0.3% in October, driven by more expensive food and gasoline, after rising 0.4% in September. It was the sixth straight monthly increase in the PPI. A 0.5% increase in the price of goods accounted for nearly 60% of the gain in the PPI. Goods rose 0.4% in September. On a year over year basis, the PPI advanced 0.5% after rebounding 0.4% in September. Economists had forecast the PPI would rise 0.2% in October and increase 0.4% on a year-on-year basis.
