Commodities Brief – Gold capped by 200-day SMA, silver falls below $29.45
Gold prices were a notable casualty yesterday as prices have incurred yet another overall weekly decline amidst the bourgeoning signals of US economic fortitude. At this juncture, the yellow metal has competed – albeit unsuccessfully in 2013 thus far – with the USD as a safe haven, principally as a hedge against inflation, especially with mounting political turmoil in Italy. As of European trading Friday, Gold’s 200-day SMA served as temporary resistance, capping each upside attempt so far today during overnight trading. More specifically, an earlier attempt higher was stymied at the 1583.25 (session high), culminating in a pullback that now places gold at USD $1578.71 per oz. in these moments. Investors will be tuned into updates later today in the United States, in the hopes that the two partisan groups can strike a deal to allay the sweeping ramifications of the sequestration.
