The gold futures contract has accelerated its long-term uptrend on Tuesday following the recent short-term consolidation along $2,000 mark. The market reached new record high at the level of $2,037.70 yesterday and it closed 1.75% above Monday's closing price. Gold price remains the highest in history following U.S. dollar sell-off, among other factors.
Gold is 1.0% higher this morning, as the market is further extending the uptrend following breaking above $2,000. What about the other precious metals? Silver rallied 6.60% on Tuesday and today it is 3.2% higher. Platinum gained 2.59% and today it is 2.1% higher. Palladium gained 1.45% yesterday and today it's 1.6% higher. So precious metals are further extending their uptrend this morning.
Yesterday's Factory Orders release has been better than expected at +6.2%. Today we will get the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change release at 8:15 a.m. We will also get the ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI at 10:00 a.m. And the markets will be waiting for the important monthly jobs data release on Friday.
