Gold & Silver Breaks Down



Gold prices fell on Friday after the U.S. government reported that the economy picked up more jobs than expected in May, which strengthened the dollar.


Gold and the dollar tend to trade inversely with one another.


On the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, gold futures for August delivery were down 2.68% at USD1,377.85 a troy ounce in U.S. trading on Friday, up from a session low of USD1,377.35 and down from a high of USD1,417.45 a troy ounce.


Gold futures were likely to test support USD1,374.75 a troy ounce, the low from May 28, and resistance at USD1,423.25, Thursday's high.


The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported earlier that the U.S. economy added 175,000 jobs in May, beating expectations for an increase of 170,000 and up from the 149,000 jobs created in April.


The headline U.S. unemployment rate ticked up to 7.6% last month from 7.5% in April, and even though analysts were expecting the unemployment rate to remain unchanged, markets applauded the data and took up dollar positions.


The data bolstered the dollar by allaying concerns that the Federal Reserve will keep monetary stimulus programs in place for longer than once anticipated, including its USD85 billion bond-buying program that weakens the greenback to spur recovery, making gold an attractive hedge.


The Fed has said it will pay close attention to the labor market when deciding on monetary policy.


Elsewhere on the Comex, silver for July delivery was down 4.29% at USD21.733 a troy ounce, while copper for July delivery was down 1.58% and trading at USD3.267 a pound.

  NASDAQ's Crack Will Rattle Global Equities During the week, the confidence of the bulls got shattered when tech-focused US companies crashed rattling the entire financial markets. Nasdaq's crash does not look like a normal correction but seems like a bigger downward spiral unfolding after valuations sky-rocketed. Given that US elections are only 52 days away, it seems unlikely that US markets will make fresh highs again and there is every likelihood that selling pressure may continue even in broader markets. Crude oil too has given up most of its gains and prices are below USD 40 per barrel on expectations of lower demand going ahead which suggests that global recovery might take longer than earlier anticipated. In contrast surprisingly, gold's move is not hinting at any major crash in the financial markets, given that gold prices consolidated and remained steady even when Nasdaq plummeted. One of the important ways to analyze the psyche of an investor is by measuring mut...
