The gold futures contract gained 0.68% on Monday, as it retraced some of late last week's downward correction following Wednesday's advance to new long-term high of $1,829.80. The recent economic data releases have been better than expected and financial markets went risk-on last week. But yesterday the stock market has reversed its intraday rally before closing lower. Gold broke above medium-term local highs in June, as we can see on the daily chart:
Gold is 0.4% lower this morning, as it is extending a short-term consolidation along $1,800 price level. What about the other precious metals? Silver gained 3.86% on Monday and today it is trading 0.4% lower. Platinum gained 2.02% yesterday and today it is unchanged, palladium gained 2.33% and today it is 0.7% higher. So precious metals are mixed this morning.
Investors will now wait for today's economic data releases. We will get the U.S. Consumer Price Index at 8:30 a.m. Then in the evening Monetary Policy Statement from Bank of Japan will be released.
