As economic landscapes shift and geopolitical tensions rise, the importance of safeguarding wealth becomes ever more critical. Historically, gold and silver have served as reliable stores of value. Today, our gold and silver-backed ERC20 tokens—Gold Standard (AUS) and Silver Standard (AGS)—offer a contemporary approach to wealth preservation. These tokens blend the timeless value of precious metals with the convenience and security of blockchain technology, providing investors with a versatile investment vehicle.
Gold Benefits from a Weaker US Dollar, Climbs Over 1%
The price of gold saw an impressive rally, gaining over 1% on Thursday. This surge was driven by a softer US Dollar and dipping Treasury yields, illustrating the growing appeal of gold as a safe-haven asset. Trading at AU$3,501 (US$2,326), gold rebounded from a two-week low, showcasing its resilience amid fluctuating economic indicators.
Recent inflation data from Canada and Australia revealed a reacceleration of inflation, which boosted global bond yields, including those of US Treasuries. This environment provided fertile ground for US Dollar bulls until a slight reversal occurred, allowing gold to gain traction.
Market Dynamics: US Dollar and Treasury Yields
The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the dollar’s performance against a basket of other currencies, reached a monthly high of 106.13 before dropping to 105.91. This decline in the dollar's value was accompanied by positive US economic data, such as a slight increase in GDP for Q1 2024 and better-than-expected Durable Goods Orders and Initial Jobless Claims. These factors played a significant role in shaping the current market sentiment.
Federal Reserve and Inflation Expectations
The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, the May PCE, is anticipated to drop to 2.6% year-on-year, with the Core PCE also expected to fall to the same level. This outlook has influenced market expectations, with a growing consensus that the Fed might ease policy later this year. The CME FedWatch Tool indicates a 59.5% probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut in September, highlighting the market's dovish expectations.
Technical Analysis: Gold at a Crossroads
Gold has reached a critical technical level, challenging the Head-and-Shoulders neckline. Should gold decisively break through this resistance, it could invalidate the bearish pattern and set the stage for further gains, potentially testing the June 21 high of AU$3,578 (US$2,368). However, momentum indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggest that sellers still have the upper hand.
Key support levels for gold include AU$3,454 (US$2,300) and AU$3,436 (US$2,277). A drop below these levels could see gold testing further support at AU$3,352 (US$2,222) and potentially reaching the Head-and-Shoulders pattern targets between AU$3,255 (US$2,170) and AU$3,240 (US$2,160).
Conversely, reclaiming AU$3,537 (US$2,350) would expose additional resistance levels, such as the June 7 high of AU$3,593 (US$2,387), before challenging the key psychological level of AU$3,607 (US$2,400).
Thankfully, in this uncertain economic landscape, we have the timeless value of gold and silver which we expect to continue to provide growth as a reliable safe haven and benefactor of currency debasement for investor wealth.
