The precious metals of Gold and Silver saw net June declines of
-$41.10 (2.2%) to
$1807.30, and -$1.34
(6.2%) to
$21.35 respectively. Gold is maintaining some degree of 'fear bid' via
geo-political tensions, whilst Silver is more adversely impacted by the m/t bearish equity market.
Gold, monthly
Silver, monthly
Summary
Gold: printing $1882.50, but cooling back to settle in the $1807s. Price momentum is increasingly negative. I would note the monthly 10MA at $1836, which was again settled below, as the m/t trend IS bearish. Gold is holding some degree of 'fear bid' on Russia/Ukraine geo-political concerns.
There remains background 'bullish chatter', but I will struggle to take gold seriously again until it breaks a new historic high >$2100. An eventual push >2100 would offer a grander target of the
2400/2500 zone, but that won't be easy with a broadly strong dollar.
Silver: printing $22.57, but spiraling back lower to settle at $20.35, the lowest since July 2020.
Momentum is increasingly negative.
I would note the monthly 10MA at $22.92, which silver settled below. for a third month.
Price action has been a broad chop fest since August 2020. Things
turn
only turn interesting again, with a break AND hold above $25.50, but
that looks difficult for another few months, with the bearish equity market, and the broadly
strong dollar.
