Down Sharply Again On Stronger US PMI Data

GOLD
Metals bulletHomepageBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsCommodities

Gold is little changed in the Asia-Pac session. This comes after bullion slid 2.1% to $2329.27 on Thursday, following the stronger-than-expected US PMI data, which saw markets push back expectations again for the first Fed rate cut later this year.

  • US Treasury yields finished up 4-6bps across benchmarks. The 10-year rate was up 5bps at 4.48%.
  • US STIR is back to pricing just 35bps of cuts this year, with November no longer fully priced.
  • The yellow metal is now around $130 below the record high reached on Monday.
  • Although gold has pulled back from its recent high, the medium-term trend structure remains bullish and short-term weakness is considered corrective, according to MNI’s technicals team.
  • On the upside, attention remains on $2,452.5 next, a Fibonacci projection. The 50-day EMA, at $2297.2, represents a key support.
  • Silver has also pulled back more than 7% from Monday’s high, with the precious metal down another 2.0% yesterday to $30/oz.
