Asian Metals Market Update for 4th June 2024

June 04, 2024

Yesterday, there was a technical rally in gold, silver, and copper. First day of the month. Anything can happen. There can be a trend reversal to bearish once again if US stock markets crash due to whatever reasons.

The $2400-$2500 zone will be the real test for spot gold in case price continues to rise after the NFP and Federal Reserve Meeting. There are buyers in spot gold around $2300 as prices have been reversing consistently from around $2300. Unless there is a high probability that spot gold will see a sustained fall below $2300, there will be buyers on dips.

News inertia is there. US economic data releases have not been able to create trend-changing price moves in any asset classes. Only bond yields are paying a yoyo curve. Political news no impact. It seems precious metals are a Tug-O-War between short-term technical traders and long-term bulls. The end result is a wider range trading.

One needs to be wary of the X factor news or X factor economic data releases which can create sustained one-way price moves. Masses are buying on dips in gold and silver. Industrial users will be increasing physical inventories on the significant price crash of copper and base metals. Will the masses win? Will the industrial user win? Or will the short seller win? There will be short sellers at some point from now till September.

If you are not confident avoid trading for a few days. Losses can be much higher than most of us expect.
