Gold moved higher overnight to open at 1370.00/1371.00 after yesterday's Fed announcement that it would not taper its bond purchase program. It declined to a low of 1358.50/1359.50 on the back of better than expected Claims and Philly Fed numbers. Buying throughout the rest of the day saw the metal rally to a high of 1374.50/1375.50 prior to concluding the day at 1368.75/1369.75.
Gold closed higher today at 1369, following yesterday's strong gain. Support is at 1337, the 38.2% retracement of the June 28 to August 28 uptrend. Resistance is at 1433, the most recent major high. Technicals are starting to look a bit more positive, but we would still prefer to see a weekly close higher to signal a resumption of the uptrend that has been in place since late June.
Gold rose after the Federal Reserve shocked markets by choosing not to cut back on its asset-buying programme for now.
Fed Chairman said he wanted to "wait a bit longer and to try to get confirming evidence" that the economy is showing signs of lasting improvement.

Silver closed higher at 23.21. The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is at 53.41, after testing the low-40 support area. RSI previously traded up to 80 on the last price high in silver; this 40 to 80 range is generally bullish. Support is at 22.48, which is the 38.2% retracement of the June 28 to Aug 28 range. Resistance is at the major high of 25.10.
The gold-silver ratio is trading lower at current 59.26. It has been in a sideways consolidation since August 15th. We still see the risk to the downside. Support is at the consolidation lows in the low-57s, with resistance at yesterday's high at 61.13.
Silver rose as news that the Federal Reserve refrained from tapering its stimulus program weighed on the U.S. dollar, sending the precious metal sharply higher.
