Yahoo Finanza Daily Gold News: Tuesday, Jan. 26 – Gold Extends Consolidation
The gold futures contract lost 0.05% on Monday, as it extended its short-term consolidation following breaking above $1,850 price level. The market gave back almost all of its December’s advance recently. Last week gold retraced some of that decline. But the market stalled at the mentioned $1,850 level, as we can see on the daily chart ( the chart includes today’s intraday data ):
Gold is 0.1% lower this morning, as it continues to trade within a short-term consolidation. What about the other precious metals? Silver lost 0.28% on Monday and today it is 0.3% higher. Platinum lost 0.62% and today it is 0.7% lower. Palladium lost 0.77% and today it is 0.8% lower. So precious metals are mixed this morning.
Yesterday we didn’t get any new important economic data announcements. Today at 10:00 a.m. the CB Consumer Confidence will be announced. The markets expect it to remain basically unchanged at 88.9 vs. its last month’s reading of 88.6.
Financial markets will be waiting for Wednesday’s FOMC Statement announcement.
Where would the price of gold go following that news release?
We’ve compiled the data since January of 2017, a 48-month-long period of time that contains of thirty three FOMC releases. The first chart shows price paths 5 days before and 10 days after the FOMC release. We can see that the biggest 10-day advance after the FOMC day was +10.5% after March 15, 2020 release and the biggest decline was -7.2% after March 3, 2020 release. But we’ve had an increased volatility following coronavirus fear then.
The latest FOMC Statement release came out on December 16th. Gold price was 1.9% higher 10 days after the release.
The following chart shows average gold price path before and after the FOMC releases for the past 48 months and 33 releases. The market was usually declining ahead of the FOMC day. Then it was going up for a week-long period. We can see that on average, gold price was 0.48% higher 10 days after the FOMC Statement announcement.
