Gold Holds 200-Day Average, Signaling Key Market Inflection Point
3 articles · Updated · World Gold Council · Jun 1
Summary
Gold held its 200-day moving average again last week, preserving a technical floor first established in March and marking what the World Gold Council called a key market inflection point.
Neutral net-long positioning and improving short-term momentum suggest the metal may be building a more durable base, though analysts said that confirmation is still needed.
A sustained break below the 200-day average would instead point to rising downside risks and a potentially longer correction in gold prices.
The test came as global equities finished the week higher, while US Treasury yields, oil prices and the dollar all declined amid US-Iran negotiation developments and strong US corporate earnings.
