A worker handles an Argor-Heraeus SA one kilogram gold bar at Solar Capital Gold Zrt. Spot gold was down 0.3% at $2,023.48 per ounce. U.S. consumer inflation data is due on Thursday. Economists polled by Reuters see year-on-year inflation at 3.2% in December, but think core inflation likely fell to 3.8%, its lowest since mid-2021. "Still, bullion bulls would have no qualms restoring spot gold back above that psychologically important mark once markets get a firmer grasp on the Fed's policy pivot."

A worker handles an Argor-Heraeus SA one kilogram gold bar at Solar Capital Gold Zrt. arranged in Budapest, HungaryGold prices rose on Thursday, hovering close to a key $2,000 per ounce level, as an overall weaker U.S. dollar and lower Treasury yields buoyed demand for bullion. The dollar was down 0.1% against its rivals after gains in the last two sessions, making gold less expensive for other currency holders. The benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yields fell to a two-month low on Wednesday. Lower interest rates decrease the opportunity cost of holding gold.

☆ Gold skids, but holds above $1,900 as Israel-Hamas war rages
  + stars: | 2023-10-16 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
A worker handles an Argor-Heraeus SA one kilogram gold bar at Solar Capital Gold Zrt. Spot gold fell 0.7% to $1,919.21 per ounce by 0423 GMT and U.S. gold futures dropped 0.5% to $1,932.70. Given the surge in prices, gold will likely remain in focus for traders seeking to buy dips, which makes $1,920 and $1,900 of area of interest. But if tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate, shorting gold may not end too well for bears over the near-term. Data on Friday showed that COMEX gold speculators increased net short position by 11,784 contracts to 14,788 in week ended Oct. 10.

☆ Gold prices dip as Fed ratchets up tightening bias

A worker handles an Argor-Heraeus SA one kilogram gold bar at Solar Capital Gold Zrt. Bullion on Wednesday hit its highest since Sept. 1 before the U.S. Fed revised its economic projections with higher-for-longer rate warnings. "In the aftermath of the FOMC event, there have been some market jitters given the interest rate outlook. "The precious metal will probably need to rely on some slowing momentum in Treasury yields in order to post gains of any significance to the upside." Higher interest rates discourage the buying of non-interest-paying bullion, which is priced in dollars.

☆ Gold gains as U.S. dollar, yields lose steam ahead of data
  + stars: | 2023-08-29 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Gold prices gained on Tuesday as a recent rally in the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields showed signs of fatigue ahead of crucial inflation and jobs data this week that could define the outlook for interest rates. Gold prices are seeing short-covering by speculators as a minor key resistance at $1,907 that coincided with the 200-day moving average has been surpassed, said Kelvin Wong, a senior market analyst, Asia Pacific, OANDA. Helping gold further, the dollar dipped against a basket of major currencies, while benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yields moved further away from their highest levels since 2007 hit last week. A weaker dollar tends to make gold, which yields no interest, less expensive for other currency holders. With elevated rates, consumer spending is likely to slow and a recession becomes almost inevitable, which would result in falling bond yields and a weaker dollar, and gold prices could rebound, Heraeus analysts wrote in a note.

U.S. retail sales increased more than expected in July, underscoring economy's resilience despite Fed's aggressive interest rate hikes to tame inflation. Later in the day, investors will scan minutes from Fed's July policy meeting to gauge its upcoming rate strategy.

A worker handles an Argor-Heraeus SA one kilogram gold bar at Solar Capital Gold Zrt. arranged in Budapest, HungaryGold prices held steady on Monday as investors awaited a U.S. Federal Reserve meeting this week where the central bank could signal a pause in interest rate hikes from July. Spot gold was little changed at $1,960.01 per ounce by 0536 GMT, while U.S. gold futures fell 0.2% to $1,961.80.

Along with the Fed, the European Central Bank, or ECB, and the Bank of Japan are also meeting this week.

☆ Gold slides 1% after U.S. jobs data raises rate hike bets

An Argor-Heraeus SA branded two hundred and fifty gram gold bar, center, sits in this arranged photograph at Solar Capital Gold Zrt. Gold prices fell about 1% to slip below $2,000 on Monday, after U.S. employment data pointed to a tight labor market and raised expectations of another rate hike by the Federal Reserve in May. Friday's data from the U.S. Labor Department showed non-farm payrolls increased by 236,000 jobs in March, versus expectations of 239,000. The data also showed the unemployment rate dipped to 3.5% from 3.6% in the prior month. The report raised bets that the U.S. central bank would increase rates next month, with markets pricing in a 66% chance of a 25 basis-point (bps) rate hike, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
☆ Gold lackluster as Credit Suisse-UBS deal spurs risk-on mood
  + stars: | 2023-03-20 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
A worker handles an Argor-Heraeus SA one kilogram gold bar at Solar Capital Gold Zrt. Gold prices dropped on Monday, with their safe-haven appeal diminished as risk sentiment improved after Swiss lender UBS sealed a deal to buy peer Credit Suisse in a rescue effort to stabilize global financial markets. Spot gold was down 0.7% at $1,973.44 per ounce, as of 0404 GMT, after sliding 1% earlier in the session. On Sunday, UBS agreed to buy 167-year-old Credit Suisse for $3.23 billion and assume up to $5.4 billion in losses in a deal backed by a massive Swiss guarantee. Bullion is considered a hedge against economic uncertainties, although higher rates increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold.

Spot silver fell 0.5% to $21.70 per ounce, platinum lost 0.5% at $991.19 and palladium shed 1% at $1,459.20.

An Argor-Heraeus SA branded two hundred and fifty gram gold bar, center, sits in this arranged photograph at Solar Capital Gold Zrt.

Spot gold was up 0.1% at $1,829.37 per ounce, as of 0315 GMT. "Next stop for gold could be the $1,850-$1,860 area, at which point we'll be on the lookout for another top."

Two Argor-Heraeus SA 250 gram gold bars at Solar Capital Gold Zrt. Gold prices regained some ground on Thursday as the U.S. dollar pulled back, although prospects of more interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve kept investors on edge. U.S. gold futures rose 0.3% to $1,850.20. Higher interest rates discourage investment in non-yielding gold, although it is considered a hedge against soaring prices. The dollar index was down 0.3% after hitting a near six-week peak on Wednesday, making greenback-priced gold less expensive for overseas buyers.
☆ Silver prices could touch a 9-year high in 2023 — with a bigger upside than gold

Akos Stiller | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesPrices of silver could hit a nine-year high of $30 per ounce this year — possibly outpacing gold prices. No silver lining for silver supplies"We hit peak silver supply back about five, six years ago. The supply of silver, which is largely produced as a byproduct of lead-zinc, copper and gold mines, does not generally respond as quickly to demand. Andrey Rudakov | Bloomberg | Getty Images"When silver prices go up, it's not like the silver mines can increase production, because the silver mines only supply about 25% of the silver," Smallwood said, adding that the market often relies on the lead-zinc mines to satisfy the higher demand. "I'm very bullish on gold, but I'm even more bullish on silver," Smallwood said.
