Gold Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Gold futures managed to settle with a modest gain Thursday, during a rocky trading session that saw prices touch their lowest levels in about a month.

Weakness in the dollar and U.S. equities and expectations of accommodative central-bank policies combined to nudge gold prices higher.

August gold GCQ6, -0.28%  tacked on $11.70, or 0.9%, to settle at $1,331 an ounce. It saw a wide range of trading between a high of $1,332.30 and a low of $1,310.70, the weakest intraday price since June 23, according to FactSet data. It had settled Wednesday with a loss of 1% at $1,319.30. That close came just a day after gold marked its highest finish in nearly a week.

Gold held its early gains after the European Central Bank took expected inaction on interest rates but said it would keep up its bond-buying stimulus. The metal then took a dip lower and climbed again.

Gold Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Gold and silver futures settled Wednesday at their lowest levels in about three weeks, as the dollar found traction on rate-hike expectations and U.S. stocks gained on the back of mostly upbeat earnings results.

“Haven” gold tends to move opposite the dollar and riskier stocks, but while gold has been choppy in recent sessions as stock indexes SPX, +0.43%  test records, the yellow metal remains underpinned by global growth uncertainty.

August gold GCQ6, -0.42%  fell $13, or 1%, to settle at $1,319.30 an ounce. Prices, based on the most-active contracts, logged their lowest settlement since June 28, according to FactSet. That close comes just a day after marking its highest finish in nearly a week.

Gold Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Gold futures tiptoed higher in subdued action Tuesday, notching their best settlement in almost a week as some a pull back in U.S. stocks helped to support haven demand.

Gold has generally maintained its uptrend, but has been tracking stocks recently. Equities were trading mostly lower Tuesday by the time gold prices settled.

August gold GCQ6, +0.02%  rose $3, or 0.2%, to settle $1,332.30 an ounce—the highest settlement since last Wednesday. Prices of gold rose 0.1% on Monday, after falling some 2% last week amid stock-market gains and Bank of England inaction on interest rates. Still, over the previous six weeks, gold had settled higher weekly for a cumulative gain of nearly 12%.

Gold Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Gold futures settled narrowly higher on Monday, taking back some of last week’s decline, with investors showing caution after a failed weekend coup in Turkey.

Prices suffered a loss of 2.3% last week, their first weekly loss in nearly two months as record-high U.S. stocks and the Bank of England’s pass, for now, on cutting interest rates lured investors into riskier markets away from nonyielding gold.

“A coup attempt in Turkey late Friday that was quickly quashed, but not without violence, has not had a serious impact on the world marketplace,” said Jim Wyckoff, senior technical metals analyst at Kitco. “Traders and investors reckon the matter was an isolated incident.”

The city of Ankara shut down the coup attempt, but Turkish stocks fell sharply Monday and its currency, the lira USDTRY, +0.2015% weakened. That helped to underpin demand for gold.

Gold Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Gold futures finished with a loss on Thursday, their fifth in six sessions, as global equities mostly climbed after the Bank of England surprised investors by opting not to cut benchmark interest rates.

Some analysts expected a rate cut in the wake of the U.K.’s decision to exit the European Union.

August gold GCQ6, -0.22%  fell $11.40, or 0.9%, to settle at $1,332.20 an ounce. Prices gained 0.6% on Wednesday after a four-session decline.

September silver SIQ6, -0.36%  eased by 9.1 cents, or 0.5%, to $20.322 an ounce. Silver futures settled near a two-year high on Wednesday.

Gold Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Gold futures turned in a third day of declines Monday, after an attempt to recoup recent losses fizzled in light of stronger U.S. stocks and the dollar.

Meanwhile, silver futures extended recent gains that lifted prices for seven out of the previous eight trading sessions.

A stronger-than-expected report on U.S. employment Friday prompted gold to end last week on a sour note. Gold and silver, however, still managed to each log a sixth-weekly gain as investors expect the metals’ rise to be underpinned by global economic uncertainty and what’s still anticipated to be a go-slow approach to interest-rate increases at the Federal Reserve.

August gold GCQ6, +0.07% settled down $1.80, or 0.1%, at $1,356.60 an ounce, after trading above $1,360 earlier in the session. Even with the recent declines, gold logged a weekly gain of 1.5% on Friday.

Silver, boosted both by hedging demand and for its use as an industrial commodity, settled higher. September silver SIU6, +1.01%  added 20.5 cents, or 1%, to finish at $20.304 an ounce, the highest settlement price since August 2014.

The SPDR Gold Trust ETF GLD, -0.94% was down 0.8%, while the iShares Silver Trust SLV, +0.42% tacked on 0.5%.

Gold Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Gold futures settled lower Thursday, pulling back after a three-session climb that lifted prices to their highest level in roughly two years.

The decline came as upbeat U.S. economic data triggered some uncertainty around U.S. interest-rate expectations, ahead of the closely watched monthly employment report due Friday.

August gold GCQ6, -0.36%  shed $5, or 0.4%, to settle at $1,362.10 an ounce. Gold futures had climbed over the past three trading session and closed on Wednesday at $1,367.10 an ounce, the best finish since March 2014, according to FactSet data.

September silver SIU6, -0.52%  dropped 36.5 cents, or 1.8% at $19.838 an ounce following Wednesday’s settlement at a roughly two-year high of $20.203.

Gold Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Gold futures rallied to settle at a fresh two-year high on Wednesday, while silver rose for a sixth straight session to top $20 an ounce.

Prices for both metals had benefitted from a rush to safety sparked by uncertainty surrounding the U.K. vote late last month to leave the European Union. In electronic trading, gold futures extended their gains after minutes from the U.S. Federal Reserve’s last meeting implied that an interest-rate hike remained on hold.

August gold GCQ6, +0.26%  gained $8.40, or 0.6%, to settle at $1,367.10 an ounce, again marking their highest settlement since March 2014, according to FactSet data.

Gold Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Gold futures finished lower on Thursday, as so-called riskier assets lured investors away from the metal, but still scored a second-straight quarterly gain to leave the yellow metal up nearly 25% in the first half of the year.

August gold GCQ6, +0.74%  fell $6.30, or 0.5%, to settle at $1,320.60 an ounce, pulling back a day after futures prices marked their highest close since July 11, 2014.

After spotty, post-Brexit volatility, prices have turned slightly lower for the week so far. But they were up about 6.9% for the second quarter and have climbed 24.6% since the end of 2014, according to FactSet data.

Silver has been the standout gainer among the metals over recent sessions, and Thursday was no exception; silver posted slim gains on the heels of a steep Wednesday advance.

September silver SIU6, +2.18%  gained 21.6 cents, or 1.2%, at $18.623 an ounce—the highest settlement since mid-September of 2014. Futures prices are up roughly 20% for the quarter and up about 35% year to date.

Gold Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Gold futures climbed toward a two-year high Wednesday, and silver rallied by nearly 3% as the precious metals gained momentum on the back of a weaker U.S. dollar.

Global markets continued to sort out risks tied to the U.K.’s plan to split from the European Union. “It is not all risk-on today…because the yellow metal is shining again as smart money is wary of current [riskier-asset] gains,” said Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at ThinkForex.

Gold Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Gold futures ended lower after two consecutive days of gains as haven investments lost some traction following a tentative return of risk appetite, three days after the U.K. voted to exit the European Union.

The decision, dubbed Brexit, has roiled global markets since Friday, driving investors out of assets perceived as risky and into havens like gold

But on Tuesday, stock markets steadied, diminishing the appeal of assets like gold, which is traditionally viewed as a port in a storm.

“Given the rapid rise in gold prices from the Brexit results of around $80 per ounce, some profit taking. is a positive signal for a longer-term bullish trend in gold prices,” Anthem Blanchard, chief executive officer of Anthem Vault, told MarketWatch.

On Tuesday, August gold GCQ6, +0.44%  fell $6.80, or 0.5%, to settle at $1,317.90 an ounce after closing at $1,324.70 an ounce Monday, the highest settlement level since July 11, 2014.

Gold Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Gold futures settled higher for a second session in a row on Monday, holding ground at their best level in close to two years in the wake of the U.K.’s historic and market-rattling decision to exit from the European Union.

“The fear trade is likely to remain in place this week, at least until we understand the next political steps and key positions across policy makers,” said Rob Haworth, senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. Gold tends to draw haven demand during market volatility.

August gold GCQ6, -0.27% rose $2.30, or 0.2%, to settle at $1,324.70 an ounce, with prices holding ground at their highest settlement level since July 11, 2014. On Friday, they posted a gain of $59.30, or about 4.7%—the largest single-session dollar and percentage climb since September 2013, according to FactSet data.

Gold Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Gold futures rallied on Friday to finish at their highest level in nearly two years as investors rushed to buy the metal in the wake of the U.K.’s decision to exit from the European Union.

Gold tends to rally in times of economic, market or political uncertainty because precious metals are considered a haven asset. As might be expected, riskier assets, including U.S. stocks, tumbled.

“Global growth is unstable right now and the U.K. leaving the EU only adds to the instability,” Frank Holmes, chief executive officer and chief investment officer of U.S. Global Investors, told MarketWatch. “With that, we see that gold is sound money.”

August gold GCQ6, +4.43%  jumped $59.30, or 4.7%, to settle at $1,322.40 an ounce with prices marking the largest single-session dollar and percentage climb since September 2013. The settlement was highest since July 11, 2014, according to FactSet data.

Gold Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Gold futures finished at their lowest level in almost two weeks on Tuesday, suffering a third-straight session decline as some investors bet that the U.K. will vote to remain in the European Union.

A U.K. referendum on whether Britain will exit the EU—known as Brexit—will be held Thursday, and while polls have been mixed, some have leaned toward the U.K. remaining a member of Europe’s trade bloc, which has dulled haven demand for the precious metal.

Gold for August delivery GCQ6, -0.06% shed $19.60, or 1.5%, to settle at $1,272.50 an ounce—the lowest settlement since June 8. The SPDR Gold Trust ETF GLD, -1.92%  was down 1.6%.
