The Gold Futures contract gained 0.02% on Wednesday, as it further extended a short-term consolidation following last week's Wednesday's advance to new long-term high of $1,829.80. The recent economic data releases have been better than expected. Gold broke above medium-term local highs in June, as we can see on the daily chart:
Gold is 0.4% lower this morning, as it continues to trade close to $1,800 price level. What about the other precious metals? Silver advanced 1.18% on Wednesday and today it is trading 1.1% lower. Platinum gained 0.76% and today it is 0.7% lower. Palladium gained 1.23% and today it is 0.75% lower. So precious metals' prices are going down this morning.
Yesterday's U.S. Industrial Production and China's GDP releases have been better than expected. Today the markets are waiting for the Retail Sales number release at 8:30 a.m., among others.
