Old Resistance Becomes New Support!
Gold futures have gone parabolic this year, outperforming Stock Indices like the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500. Can this rally continue? Or can we continue to make new all-time highs in what may be a new “Bull Cycle” for the precious metal.
Key Drivers:
Gold is typically sensitive to monetary and fiscal tightening. When interest rates and government spending are at tighter levels, the metal typically struggles to push higher. However, this has not been the case with this rally, despite the 10-year yield climbing 50 basis points YTD, the metal has continued to break records.
There seems to be more macro influences in this rally, for example resilient US economic data, and bets that the Fed will deliver fewer rate cuts than previously priced in are lending support to the dollar. That is weighing on the Chinese Yuan. The PBOC is one of the largest holders of US treasuries, and it is possible that they may be selling US treasuries to purchase even more gold. They now hold about 72.74 million toy ounces in reserves, up from 66.50 million troy ounces this time last year.
Technicals:
Technically, Gold futures are overbought, as the RSI shows a level above 75. Old resistance of 2082-2105 will now become new major support. This level also coincides with the 21-day EMA. If we have a large pullback, we will want to hold this level to keep bullish momentum intact.
