During the Asian trading session, the price of gold rose to the $1727 level, after which we saw a pullback to the $1710 support level. For now, we are managing to stay above, but there are indications that we will see a break and pullback of the price to the $1700 level. If we do not find that support, the price could fall to the $1690 level, last week’s minimum. A potential lower target is the $1680 support level. We need a positive consolidation and a return above the $1720 level for a bullish option. Additional resistance at that level is in the MA200 moving average. A break above the gold price would contribute to a better atmosphere and potential further recovery. The following higher targets are $1730 and $1740 levels.
The price of silver is in a bullish trend for the third day, and today’s maximum and obstacle is at the $18.50 level. The price has already retreated below $18.25 and continues towards the $18.00 support level. The MA50 moving average provides additional support at that level. A break below the silver price would increase the bearish pressure, and we would see a continuation of the negative consolidation. Potential lower targets are the $17.75 and $17.50 levels, our last week’s support zone. For a bullish option, we need another positive consolidation and a return to the $18.50 resistance level. A break above silver prices and staying at that level would signify that we could see a new bullish impulse. Potential higher targets are $18.75 and $19.00 levels.
Recession fears fueled by Europe’s energy crisis are keeping investors on the sidelines while boosting yields globally. This morning the RBA increased its interest rate from 1.85% to 2.35%, tomorrow the BoC also announced an interest rate increase from 2.50% to 3.25%, and on Thursday, there is a high chance that the ECB will increase its interest rate from 0.50% to 1.25%. This scenario does not suit gold at all, and we could expect further price pullback.
