Wednesday’s Technical Analysis For: Gold (GLD)
$GLD
Spot Gold closed higher Tuesday.
The high range close set the stage for a steady open Wednesday on COMEX.
Stochastics and the RSI are Neutral to Bearish signalling that sideways to lower prices are possible near term.
If Spot Gold renews its rally off of the September lows, the August high crossing is the next Northside target.
If the precious Yellow metal extends this month’s rally, the 38% Fibo retrace mark of this year’s decline crossing is the next Northside target.
India, the world’s 2nd-biggest Gold buyer after China, imposed the import restrictions last year to avert a trade deficit crisis that pushed the Rupee to record lows.
“Restrictions placed on import of Gold… stand withdrawn with immediate effect,” India’s central bank said in a statement on Saturday, 29 November.
Support for Spot Gold comes from jewelry demand from India in the lead up to and during the wedding season, which starts again in late September. India did record a 176% increase in Gold imports in August to US$2-B from about US$756-M.
Overall, the impact of wedding season Spot Gold buying has faded in recent times as India is no longer the world’s largest Gold consumer, partly because of the on-going government import restrictions on precious metals. If they are further relaxed, perhaps India will regain its Top spot.
India’s Akshaya Tritiya festival considered by India’s more than 900-M Hindus as an auspicious day to buyGold and Silver, fell on 21 April this year. Bullion is bought in India during festivals and marriages as part of the bridal trousseau or gifted in the form of jewelry by relatives.
