Precious Metal Futures--- The precious metals sold off this Friday afternoon with gold in the August contract continuing its choppy trade down $20 an ounce at 1,392 still stuck in a two-week sideways channel and as I’ve stated in previous blogs even after yesterday’s $20 up move I still remain bearish gold & I don’t understand any reason to be owning gold at this point in time and I do think a possible retest of 1,320 is in the cards in the next couple of weeks. Silver futures have been in a tight sideways channel down about $.50 at 22.21 still looking bearish in my opinion as the commodity markets as a whole are turning negative once again. The U.S dollar today was up about 45 points putting pressure on many commodities, however the dollar had 2 straight down days so today was considered profit taking but I still believe the U.S dollar is headed higher against the foreign currencies which will put pressure on the commodity markets in short term.

Precious Metal Futures--- The precious metals fell out of bed this week especially gold which finished down for the 6th consecutive day trading far below its 100 day moving average all due to the fact that the U.S dollar hit another contract high today trading up nearly 70 points again today as investors are fleeing out of gold and taking that money and placing it in the U.S dollar and the S&P 500 which is hitting another record high again today. Gold futures for the June contract settled last Friday at 1,436 finishing down about $70 for the week trading at 1,362 hitting a 2 year low with a possible retest of 1,321 which was hit on April 16th of this year. Investors see no reason to own gold at this point in time when you can buy the stock market which seems to go up every single day, however the real story is large hedge funds including George Soros which have been liquidating their gold positions in recent weeks and that is also putting pressure as investors are taking money out of the ETF gold market.

Precious Metals--- The precious metals in New York sold off sharply with gold down nearly $36 an ounce to settle around 1,433 down nearly $35 for the trading week which is basically all in today’s session as the U.S dollar has rallied sharply in 2 days while the Japanese Yen is hitting a 5 year low selling off nearly 300 points in the last 2 trading sessions. Gold futures for the June contract are trading below their 20 and 100 day moving average right near a 3 week low still extremely volatile and very choppy and I’m still advising traders to sit on the sidelines at this point in time and there still the possibility that gold could retest the mid-1300s before stabilizing. Silver futures were down about $.35 for the trading session after settling last Friday at 24.02 down nearly $.40 for the trading week trading below their 20 and 100 day moving average and still basically stuck in a 3 week channel really in a directionless trade I’m also advising traders to sit on the sidelines in this market until it has improving chart structure. Copper futures were one of the bright metals this week trading above its 20 day moving average but below its 100 day moving average which is currently at 3.56 pound after settling last Friday at 3.31 finishing slightly higher for the week which is impressive in my opinion since many of the commodity markets this Friday were sharply to the downside.
