COMMODITIES: Gold Extends Gains To Fresh Record High, Crude Rises

COMMODITIES
EM BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsEmerging Market News
  • Spot gold has extended gains on Tuesday, buoyed by China stimulus measures that created an optimistic backdrop for risk sentiment and a favourable reaction across the commodities complex.
  • The yellow metal is up 1.1% on the day, reaching another all-time high of $2,657/oz in recent trade.
  • Gold has now pierced resistance at $2,642.7, with attention on $2,660.9 next, a Fibonacci projection, after which focus will shift to the $2,700 level.
  • Copper has also rallied by 3.7% to $451/lb today, taking total gains this month to around 10%, amidst increased optimism for Chinese demand.
  • The rally in copper exposes $453.83, a Fibonacci retracement. Clearance of this level would expose $464.60, the Jul 5 high.
  • Meanwhile, WTI is on track for gains today, although it has eased back from intraday highs. Support comes from some near-term supply disruptions and risks from Libya, US, Kazakhstan and a recent drop in Russian exports.
  • WTI Nov 24 is up 1.7% at $71.5/bbl.
  • Wires carrying comments from IDF spox Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari saying "we must not give Hezbollah a break, attacks will be accelerated.”
  • For WTI futures, the next key resistance to watch is $72.34, the 50-day EMA. A break would undermine a bear theme.
