The Gold Futures contract gained 0.19% on Monday, as it remained close to short-term highs. The market bounced off following the recent decline after Thursday's Fed Chair Powell speech. Gold reversed from its new record high of $2,089.20 on August 7 after much better than expected Nonfarm Payrolls release, among other factors. The following upward correction reached a local high of $2,024.60 on August 18. Since then gold has been fluctuating, as we can see on the daily chart:
Gold is 0.9% higher this morning, as it is extending the short-term advance. What about the other precious metals? Silver gained 2.89% on Monday and today it is 1.8% higher. Platinum lost 0.22% and today it is 2.8% higher. Palladium gained 2.14% on Monday and today it's 1.5% higher. So precious metals are gaining again this morning.
Yesterday we didn't get any important economic data announcements. Today there will be U.S. ISM Manufacturing PMI release at 10:00 a.m. The financial markets will be waiting for Friday's monthly jobs data release.
