COMMODITIES: Precious Metals Fall Amid Easing Of Trade Tensions

May-14 18:32
  • Spot gold has fallen by 2.2% to $3,178/oz today as the moderation in US/China trade tensions continues to support global risk sentiment, weighing on the yellow metal.
  • The move breaches initial support at $3,202.0, the May 1 low, signalling scope for a deeper retracement towards $3,164.3, 61.8% of the Apr 7 - Apr 22 upleg.
  • The 50-day EMA, another key support, is also at $3,164.9. A breach of both would undermine a short-term bullish theme, opening round number support at $3,100.0. Initial resistance is $3,267.9, the 20-day EMA.
  • Silver is also weaker today, with the precious metal currently 2.3% lower on the session at $32.2/oz.
  • The gold/silver ratio thus remains stable around 98.7, off from last month’s multi-year highs of 107. Initial support is the April 4 low at 97.4.
  • Meanwhile, crude is softer on the day with an unexpected US crude stock build adding pressure.
  • WTI Jun 25 is down by 0.7% at $63.2/bbl.
  • Expectations are growing that a further increase in OPEC+ supply for July is to be announced at the June 1 meeting.
  • A downtrend in WTI futures remains intact, with initial support seen at $54.67, the Apr 9 low and bear trigger.
  • On the upside, a clear break of key resistance at $63.55, the 50-day EMA, would highlight a stronger reversal, opening $66.41, the Apr 4 high.

USDJPY TECHS: Reverses Monday Rally

May-14 18:30
  • RES 4: 151.21 High Mar 28 and a key resistance    
  • RES 3: 150.49 High Apr 2
  • RES 2: 149.28 High Apr 3
  • RES 1: 148.54/65 76.4% of Mar 28 - Apr 22 bear leg / High May 12
  • PRICE: 146.31 @ 15:54 BST May 14
  • SUP 1: 146.32/144.93 50- and 20-day EMA   
  • SUP 2: 142.36 Low May 6 
  • SUP 3: 141.97 Low Apr 29  
  • SUP 4: 139.89 Low Apr 22 and a bear trigger

USDJPY reversed the Monday rally into the Wednesday close, playing into the bearish primary trend condition. This underpins the view that gains since Apr 22 appear corrective, and a further reversal lower would refocus attention on 142.36, May 6 low. Price is operating either side of former resistance at the 50-day EMA, and a clear break back above this level would slow any downside bias.
