GOLD: Up 0.25% As Markets Await Iranian Response; Technicals Still Bullish

Jun-23 13:41
  • Spot gold is up 0.25% at $3,376, trading in a volatile fashion in today's session as markets await Iran’s response to US strikes over the weekend. The lack of immediate Iranian retaliation against the US, alongside the broader USD bid, saw Gold pare its opening gap higher during Asia-Pac hours.
  • Last week’s pullback in Gold is considered corrective, with moving average studies still in a bull mode position and highlighting a dominant uptrend. Additionally, price action since the May 15 low has been a sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Initial resistance is the June 16 high at $3,451.3.
  • Key support to monitor is $3,282.7, the 50-day EMA.
  • Elsewhere in precious metals, platinum and palladium are each up  over 2% on the session. Platinum has seen an impressive bullish breakout since mid-May, now trading at its highest since 2021 and up 42% YTD. Price action in palladium has been relatively more subdued this year, but nonetheless has tracked higher since April and is up 17% YTD.
