Asian Metals Market Update for 21st May 2024

I am worried about the pace of the rise of silver and copper and not the actual rise. Silver and copper have a history of sharp price corrections if and whenever there is massive herd buying. I am of the view that herd buying or short-term hot money is very high in silver and copper. Gold is still in diversification mode as traders and nations hedge against long-term decline in the purchasing value of currency markets.

All asset classes rising at the same time implies that there is excess liquidity globally even without interest rate cuts. Asset bubbles will be formed if the current situation of rising trend in all asset classes continues for the next six months. We need to be watchful of our investment which has a tenure of more than six months.

US economic data releases or any news of any kind is not changing the trend of precious metals, base metals, stocks and forex markets. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are on fire as well.

Apart from FOMC minutes, there is no major US economic data releases till Monday. It will be a technical trade. Any reduction in bullish momentum (in gold, silver, copper, and zinc) can result in a nose-dive type price move anytime.

Spot Gold – intraday view

  • Spot gold can fall to $2383.70 and $2368.70 as long as it trades below $2423.00.
  • Intraday bullish trend will be there only on a sustained fall below $2423.00

Spot Silver – intraday view

  • Spot silver can fall to $30.98 and $30.18 as long as it trades below $32.56.
  • Bullish trend till Friday will be there only on a sustained break of $32.56.
