London session preview: gold and silver rebound sharply, oil steady before euro-area inflation

About this page

Gold and silver bounced hard in Asia as the dollar index slipped 0.36% to 101.505. Oil is little changed, while FTSE 100 and DAX 40 still show yesterday's closes until London opens at 12:00 Dubai time. Euro-area inflation at 14:00 and US ISM services at 19:00 are the main risks.

Gold (XAU/USD) — Bullish

Gold is at 4032.4, up 2.33% and above R2 4019.67, though still below MA20 (4087.93). RSI 43.6 has recovered from weak levels. An Investing.com headline ties the jump to a softer dollar after the Democratic midterm wins.

What to watch: Whether gold holds the Asia high of 4020.3 after a fast move; today's high is 4033.2.

Scenario: If price holds above 4019.67, the next level is 4087.93; a drop back below 3980.03 would point to a fade toward the pivot 3942.07.

R: 4033.2 / 4087.93 · P: 3942.07 · S: 4019.67 / 3980.03

Silver (XAG/USD) — Bullish

Silver is up 4.35% at 51.745, above R2 50.822 but far below MA20 (55.21). RSI 36.9 is still soft, so the bounce is early.

What to watch: The Asia range of 48.98 to 51.265 and the high at 51.87.

Scenario: If 51.265 holds, a break of 51.87 opens 53; back below 50.822 would weaken the rebound.

R: 51.87 / 53 · P: 49.377 · S: 51.265 / 50.822

What to watch: The Asia range of 94.9 to 97.15.

Scenario: Above 97.15 the next level is 98.74; below 94.99 the market may test 93.51.

Scenario: If Brent holds above 103.87, 104.87 then 106.94 come into view; below 102.58, 100.53 is next.

What to watch: The opening level against the pivot 10679.37 once trading starts at 12:00 Dubai time.

Scenario: If the index stays below 10679.37, 10597.43 is support; a move above 10720.33 would ease the pressure.

R: 10693.6 / 10720.33 · P: 10679.37 · S: 10597.43 / 10556.47
