Dollar Index hits 10-month high

Fundamental Q News and Triggers

As the dollar reached 10-month highs in response to the Federal Reserve’s warning that U.S. interest rates will stay higher for longer, gold prices are trading weak and moving away from mid-$1900 levels.

The Dollar Index continued its upward trend from the previous week and reached its highest level since November. A rising dollar deters holders of other currencies from purchasing commodities, such as gold, denominated in dollars.

Although many also think that a cap must be put on oil prices if the Fed is to attain its annual inflation objective of 2 per cent, the markets are concerned that the Fed’s increased hawkish approach will slow global growth.

 

Technical Triggers

Gold prices have been making lower highs and lower lows, since touching recordhigh prices in May. Nearterm resistance is $1970 and support is $1920. Prices need to break this range to set a oneway direction. Prices are likely to trade sideways in this range for the next 10-15 days.

Silver prices have been continuously taking support at the uptrendline, which now suggests that, support is at $23. Until prices stay above this support, the uptrend is likely to continue.
