GOLD

Gold prices rose 0.3% on Friday to be up on the week and during APAC trading today they’re stable at around $1844.55/oz (+0.25%), close to the intraday high after a low of $1837.38, despite geopolitical tensions related to North Korea. The USD is also flat.

  • Bullion is currently in a bear trend and in a corrective cycle. It remains below its 50-day simple moving average.
  • The US is closed today for the President’s holiday. There is euro area preliminary consumer confidence for February later. Importantly for gold, the FOMC minutes are published Wednesday and there are Fed speakers over the rest of the week. Preliminary February PMIs and US January consumer spending are also scheduled.
