Gold finished trading in New York yesterday at $869.40, down $5.00 and silver
was down 25 cents to $16.21. Gold remained largely unchanged in Asian trading
but has fallen further in early European trading and is trading at $864.60/864.60
per ounce (0943 GMT).
The continuing rally in the dollar in recent days (has risen as high as EUR
1.5142 this morning) and the recent sharp fall in commodity and oil prices
has seen gold come under further pressure and it looks set to test the next
level of support at $845-$850.
However, given the financial and economic news has been as bad if not worse
than that out of the Eurozone, the dollar rally is likely to be another dead
cat bounce. Yesterday's US data was not encouraging with July sales and jobless
numbers both disappointing. Further dollar weakness is more than likely in
the coming months as the US government looks set to engage in a series of massive
bailouts of banks, brokerages and possibly even car makers all of which face
the possibility of insolvency.
As expected, gold has once again experienced weakness in the summer doldrums
but a seasonal low is likely in the coming days and the length of the consolidation
since March should see a very sharp rally in gold's favoured Autumn months
(as was seen last year).
