Gold & Silver Market Analysis for Wednesday 11th of August
Kinesis Gold Price Analysis - The volatility on gold is slowing down, while the price seems to be finding an equilibrium after the double sell-off seen on Friday and Monday.
The strength of the US Dollar and the Federal Reserve’s tapering plans remain the main drivers on the markets.
From a technical point of view, the short-term scenario remains fragile, as gold was unable to recover and surpass the resistance zone of £$1,750-1,760. At the same time, we should note that the zone between $1,700 and $1,720 seems to be relatively solid support. Just a few dollars below, at $1,677, we can find the minimum reached by gold on Sunday night.
All these three levels seem to be relatively interesting support zones for bullion. Read More

The sudden drop in gold this week, which saw prices tumble from $1,820 an ounce to below $1,700 an ounce, is just a dip in a bullish trend, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.
"Gold backing up to its upward-sloping 24-month moving average in what we see as a dip in a bull market," said Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone. "When the distortions of 2020-21 subside, a resumption of pre-pandemic trends is likely, which favors gold's upward course vs. crude's descent." Read More
