Asian Metals Market Update for 22nd May 2024

FOMC minutes will have a zero impact on precious metals and bases. Correction or a price crash (if any) will be called risk reduction on long positions before FOMC minutes and profit-taking before Monday’s Memorial Day holiday in the USA.

Overbought conditions and mini double top formation in selected asset classes can cause a stinking crash (in case the falling trend continues for more than six hours). Buyers are there on dips. They will continue to do so as prices are reversing/rising quickly after any major fall.

Iran’s succession plan needs a close watch on the geopolitical front more than the Ukraine-Russia war or the Israel-Hamas war. India’s physical demand for gold and silver will start in a big way only from the middle of June. Cash is still used in a big way to buy gold/silver in any form. Limits on carrying cash and storing cash will be over by the middle of June. (once the central election results are declared.) India’s physical demand for gold and silver on or after 15th June till 15th November can impact short-term price trends. (Long-term bullish trend in gold and silver will not change, unless humans start paying for the air we breathe and also pay for every drop of water we use.)

Spot Gold – intraday view

  • Spot gold can fall to $2408.20 and $2384.00 and more as long as it trades below $2428.50.
  • Intraday bullish trend will be there only on a sustained fall below $2428.50

Spot Silver – intraday view

  • Spot silver has to trade over $31.70 to be in an intraday bullish zone and rise to $32.76 and $33.57.
  • Watch $31.70. Spot silver can move $1-$1.50 either side from $31.70.
