Precious metals rebound geopolitical risk

Fundamental News and Triggers

  • The US-led forces continue to clash with the Iran-backed Houthi group in the Red Sea, which appears to support the safe-haven gold price amid moderate range-bound price action around the US dollar.
  • On Thursday, Houthi militants in Yemen launched two anti-ship ballistic missiles at a US-owned, Greek-operated tanker ship, prompting the US to carry out its fifth strike against Houthi targets.
  • The markets reacted quickly to the robust labour-market report, pricing in just over a 50% chance of a rate drop at the March FOMC meeting, down from 75% a week earlier.
  • Traders now look to the US macro data – the preliminary Michigan consumer sentiment and inflation expectations, as well as existing home sales – for short-term possibilities.

Technical Triggers

  • Gold prices have rebounded above $2020 after touching a low of $2007. Now prices are expected to trade in the range of $2035- $2000.
  • Silver prices have rebounded after touching the low of $22.52. Now prices are expected to trade in the range of $22.50 to $23.
