Surges To Fresh Highs Since May

GOLD

Gold has broken higher in the first part of Monday Asia Pac dealings. The precious metal got to a high of $2018.21, but we now sit back near $2012. This is 0.55% firmer, after closing last week near $2001.

  • This spike has pushed the precious metal to fresh highs back to May of this year, see the chart below. Recent highs close to $2010, seen through late Oct and earlier in Nov have been comfortably breached, which may have contributed to today's move.
  • Earlier May highs just above $2050 may now be eyed by bulls.
  • Broader USD sentiment is softer, which may be helping the gold move, although the BBDXY is still above recent lows. US yields are higher for the session but away from best levels.
