Gold still looks good, dollar dropped

ByVictoria

“The de-escalation of tensions in the Middle East is the primary factor that’s weighing on gold. The safe-haven bid has diminished and the market is in more of a risk-on mode,” said Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals.

“We’ve got pretty good support around $3,300 and then even better support probably at $3,250.”

Global shares surged and the dollar dropped on Tuesday after news of the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, while markets shrugged off what U.S. President Donald Trump called violations by both sides.

    Glencore’s steelmaking coal production in the first half soared following the integration of Elk Valley Resources, but copper and gold output fell.

    Elk’s contribution pushed first-half production expressed in copper equivalents up 5%. This is despite copper production falling 26% to 343,900 tons and gold output dropping 18% to 301,000 ounces.

    The FTSE 100-listed company said it was confident that it can deliver its full-year production guidance but tightened the ranges of some of its commodities to reflect its performance to date.

    Gold prices ticked higher on Tuesday as focus turned to U.S. jobs and inflation data, that could influence the Federal Reserve’s policy decision in the face of rising economic growth concerns. 

    Spot gold (XAUUSD:CUR) +0.93% to $2,911.21 an ounce after hitting its lowest since March 3 in the previous session.

    Meanwhile, worries over Trump’s tariff policies have also pushed safe-haven gold to a record high of $2,956.15 on February 24, as the metal is seen as a hedge against political risks and inflation.
