GOLD TECHNICAL (Avinash Lokhande)

GOLD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Gold prices have stalled a bit after touching a four-month high last week. Negative RSI divergence warns that the pause may translate into a larger reversal lower as upside momentum fizzles. A reversal back belowthe 50% Fibonacci expansion at 1312.90 opens the door for another challenge of the 38.2% level at 1294.91. Alternatively, a breach of the 61.8% Fibat 1330.89 targets the 1353.15-57.50 area (76.4% Fib, September 8 high)

Gold and Silver Biggest Opportunity Since Late 2015,

We've had to wait 18 months for an opportunity as big as the one we saw late in 2015 to appear again in the Precious Metals sector. "Wait a minute", I hear you say, "prices were generally lower back then at that low than they are now, so how can it be as big an opportunity, as leverage is reduced?". Here are the reasons, one technical, the other fundamental. When prices rose out of the late 2015 low, which was the Head of the Head-and-Shoulders bottom shown to advantage on the 10-year chart for GDX (VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF) below, they were destined to retrace to mark out the Right Shoulder of the pattern, which is what now has most investors very negative towards the sector again.
This time they don't have to—they can now rise out of this trough and proceed to break out upside from the entire pattern to embark on a mighty bull market. The fundamental reason is this: most investors have been taken in by the specious central bank talk about "normalizing interest rates" and scaling back their bloated balance sheets, but they haven't got a cat in hell's chance of doing this. Why? Because debt (and associated derivatives) has expanded to such gargantuan levels, that any attempt to bring it under control will send interest rates skyrocketing. Because of this stark reality, they are left with only one option—to inflate the debt away by monetizing it, which means inflation. Once investors grasp the inevitability of this—and that this process will soon get underway with a vengeance—gold and silver will soar. That is what the charts that we are going to look at today are telling us, and it means that we may never see the bargains in the Precious Metals sector that are now available ever again—or at least not for a very long time.
The latest COTs are telling us that gold and silver have hit bottom, or are very close to having done so, and that the time to buy the sector is now. Before proceeding to look at them we will start by looking at the latest 10-year chart for GDX, a reliable PM stocks proxy, to see where we are on the market clock, where we are in the PM stock price cycle.
Our 10-year arithmetic chart for GDX shows a clear large Head-and-Shoulders bottom forming, with the price now in the process of completing the Right Shoulder trough of the pattern. Obviously, most would be investors in this sector either don't know this pattern exists, or if they are aware of it, have written it off as a false H&S bottom, witness the rotten sentiment towards the sector, which is just what we want to see at this juncture. Indications that the pattern is genuine are provided by the strong volume on the rise out of the trough of the Head of the pattern, which we can expect to see again on the rise out of the Right Shoulder trough soon, and the outstandingly bullish COTs which we will soon look at.

Gold prices start to rebound, weaker dollar helping

Silver Prices Rebound from Yearly Lows on Haven Demand, Bargain Hunting

Silver prices rose for a second consecutive day Wednesday, as the combination of haven demand and bargain-hunting boosted the market for precious metals.

Silver for September settlement rose by as much as 1.1% through the overnight session before paring gains later in the day. It was last seen trading at $15.78 a troy ounce at 7:27 a.m. ET, up 4 cents, or 0.2%, from the previous close.

With the gain, silver has rebounded more than 2% over the past two days as prices recovered from their lowest level in 15 months.

Gold prices booked narrow gains through the morning session and were on track for a third consecutive gain. The August futures contract added $1.60, or 0.2%, to $1,216.40 a troy ounce.

Gold’s premium over silver has declined sharply in recent sessions as the grey metal stabilized. As of Tuesday, one ounce of gold was worth 77.31 ounces of silver.

Precious metals received a boost on Tuesday after President Donald Trump’s eldest son released emails that seemed to suggest a connection between the Trump campaign and Russian officials during the 2016 election. The email chain was posted to Donald Trump Jr.’s Twitter account after The New York Times informed him of its intent to publicize the story.

U.S. stocks declined sharply after the news, but later recovered. However, speculation about Russian collusion may stoke fears of an investigation into the president’s campaign, which would trigger fresh bouts of volatility.

In currency news, the U.S. dollar pared losses against a basket of major peers. The dollar index (DXY) was last seen trading at 95.73, little changed from the previous close.

Gold Silver Updates

Gold prices edged higher in European trade on Wednesday, extending gains into a third-straight session, as investors awaited comments from Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen for fresh cues on policy direction.
Comex gold futures were at $1,217.27 a troy ounce by 4:00AM ET (0800GMT), up $2.60, or around 0.2%. Prices settled with a modest gain for a second-straight session on Tuesday.
Yellen is scheduled to testify on the economy before the Senate Banking Committee at 10:00AM ET (1400GMT) Wednesday. Text of the testimony will be released 90 minutes before she starts speaking.
Her comments will be monitored closely for any new insight on the timing of the next U.S. rate hike and clues on how the central bank plans to pare back its massive balance sheet.
The Fed hiked rates at its June meeting and stuck to its forecast for one more rate hike this year, but the subdued inflation outlook has since raised doubts over whether the U.S. central bank will be able to stick to its planned tightening path.
Fed Governor Lael Brainard on Tuesday suggested her support for any future rate increases will depend in part on how inflation shapes up.
Futures traders are pricing in around a 50% chance of a hike by the end of the year, according to Investing.com’s Fed Rate Monitor Tool.
The precious metal is sensitive to moves in U.S. rates, which lift the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets such as bullion.
Besides the Fed, investors will be keeping a close eye on Washington, for any more political noise coming out of the White House as the Russia-linked scandal continues to rumble on.
Donald Trump Jr. released an email chain on Tuesday, which referred to a top Russian government prosecutor as offering the Trump campaign damaging information about Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
The emails are the most concrete evidence yet that Trump campaign officials welcomed Russian help to win the election, a subject that has cast a cloud over Trump's presidency and spurred investigations by the Justice Department and Congress.
Also on the Comex, silver futures tacked on 4.3 cents, or roughly 0.3%, to $15.78 a troy ounce.
Among other precious metals, platinum was up 0.9% at $906.75, while palladium rose 0.6% to $851.80 an ounce.
