Gold
Gold, currently trading at $961.00/oz, has managed to stay above the
$960.00/oz support mark and is finding it tough to break through the
next resistance of $970.00/oz. If broken, it should test the further
resistance of $980.00/oz very quickly. The ECB and the BOE meet today
but are expected to leave interest rates unchanged. Falling central
bank sales, Chinese and other central bank buying, falling scrap supply
and continuing investor demand should see gold break above resistance
at the record highs of just over $1030/oz in the coming weeks. Given
the length of time of the recent consolidation, once resistance is
broken at this level we could move very quickly to over $1,200/oz.
Silver
Silver traded as high as $14.7925/oz overnight and has not been here
since June 15th. Currently trading at $14.65/oz and is facing
resistance at $14.87/oz and support at $14.53/oz. Silver’s fundamentals
look as bullish as ever and if even only a fraction of the capital in
skittish currency and long term bond markets flows into silver we will
see silver target its recent record high over $20/oz.
Platinum group metals
The PGMs are experiencing a strong push of late helped more recently by
a threatened strike from South Africa's largest electricity producer
Eskom. Palladium is currently trading at $273.00/oz with resistance at
$283.0o/oz. Platinum is trading at $1,275.oo/oz and rhodium continues
its strong run at $1,700.00/oz.
