Retreats From A Five Month High As Middle East Tensions Ease

GOLD

Gold is 0.5% lower in the Asia-Pac session, retreating from the five-month high of $1997.22 set on Friday. This move can be attributed to easing fears over the weekend that Middle East tensions would spread to major powers after the release of two US citizens held hostage in Gaza and the US pushing Israel to delay its invasion.

  • The precious metal has also been pressured by US Treasuries in today's Asia-Pac session. Cash tsys are 5-7bps cheaper across the major benchmarks after Friday's bull-steepening.
  • Bullion closed +0.4% at $1981.40 on Friday, holding its clearance of resistance of $1982.4 (Jul 20 high), according to MNI’s technicals team.
  • Next resistance is seen at $2003.4 (76.4% retrace of May 4 – Oct 6 bear leg).
