Gold and Silver Prices Reach All-Time Highs: What’s Next for the Market?

Gold prices are on the rise, with predictions indicating a bullish trend that could lead to new highs in the coming weeks. According to Maneesh Sharma, AVP of Commodities & Currencies at Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers, gold is expected to trade within a sideways range but with a positive bias. This follows a significant increase in gold prices, which recently reached all-time highs in international markets, driven by ongoing geopolitical tensions and expectations surrounding U.S. Federal Reserve policy.

Current Market Trends

Gold has shown remarkable resilience, achieving a 5% gain over the past month. This surge is attributed to a combination of factors, including safe-haven demand amid geopolitical uncertainties and speculation regarding the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy. The recent bullish momentum has persisted for six consecutive days, reflecting traders’ confidence in gold as a secure investment during turbulent times. The demand for gold has been further fueled by concerns over the Fed’s independence, which has enhanced its appeal as a safe-haven asset.

In addition to gold, silver has also been performing well, continuing its upward trajectory for the third month in a row. The current market dynamics suggest that both metals are likely to maintain their bullish trends, with traders viewing any short-term price corrections as opportunities to buy. As the market anticipates upcoming economic data, including crucial U.S. employment figures, the outlook for both gold and silver remains optimistic.

Technical Analysis and Predictions

From a technical standpoint, gold prices are currently positioned for potential further gains. Spot gold recently experienced a bullish crossover on its moving averages, indicating a strong upward trend. The immediate resistance level is set at the new record high of $3,508 per ounce, with analysts suggesting that prices could challenge the psychological barrier of $3,550 in the near future. Should there be any profit-taking in the short term, a daily close below $3,470 could lead to a test of lower support levels around $3,437 per ounce.

Silver is also expected to continue its bullish run, with predictions suggesting it may reach between $42.75 and $43.00 per ounce in the coming weeks. The current trading range for silver is projected to be between Rs 1,27,000 and Rs 1,28,000 per kilogram in the Indian market. Investors are advised to keep a close watch on market movements as both metals navigate through this period of volatility.

Geopolitical Influences and Economic Indicators

Geopolitical developments, particularly the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, are playing a significant role in shaping market sentiment. Recent statements from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, indicating plans for new strikes deep into Russian territory, have heightened tensions and reinforced gold’s status as a safe-haven asset. The uncertainty surrounding these geopolitical events continues to support the bullish outlook for gold.

On the economic front, traders are closely monitoring the upcoming U.S. ISM Manufacturing PMI report, which is expected to show a slight improvement but still remain in contraction. Speculation about a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve is also influencing market dynamics. With a 90% probability of a 25 basis points rate cut anticipated in the upcoming Fed meeting, the U.S. dollar may face renewed selling pressure, further bolstering gold prices.

As the market evolves, investors are encouraged to stay informed about both geopolitical developments and economic indicators that could impact the precious metals market. The interplay between these factors will be crucial in determining the future trajectory of gold and silver prices.
