Daily Gold News: Wednesday, May 25 – Precious Metals Retrace Their Recent Advance

Gold Price Forecast

The gold futures contract gained 0.95% on Tuesday, May 24, as it extended its short-term uptrend. The market retraced more of the recent downtrend after bouncing from last Monday’s new medium-term low of $1,785.00. Recently gold retraced all of the February-March rally on strengthening U.S. dollar, Fed’s monetary policy tightening fears. So it went back to the $1,800 level where it’s been fluctuating for months in 2021. This morning yellow metal is retracing its yesterday’s advance, as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):

Precious Metals Price Action

Gold is 0.8% lower this morning, as it is trading along the $1,850 price level. What about the other precious metals? Silver is 1.5% lower, platinum is 1.5% lower and palladium is 0.6% lower. So the main precious metals’ prices are lower this morning.
