Yahoo Finance Daily Gold News: Monday, Oct. 18 – Gold Is Closer to $1,750 Price Level Again
The gold futures contract lost 1.65% on Friday, as it retraced its Wednesday’s advance of 2%. Gold price bounced from the $1,800 price level. The market reacted to the better-than-expected Retail Sales release, among other factors. This morning gold is trading along its Friday’s closing price, as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
Today gold is 0.2% lower, as it is trading within a relatively narrow daily price range. What about the other precious metals? Silver is 0.3% lower, platinum is 1.0% lower and palladium is 2.9% lower. So precious metals’ prices are lower this morning.
Friday’s Retail Sales release has been better than expected at +0.7% vs. a forecast of -0.2%. Today we will get the Industrial Production, Capacity Utilization Rate releases at 9:15 a.m. and the NAHB Housing Market Index at 10:00 a.m.
