Gold dipped overnight to open today's session at 1259.00/1260.00. The metal touched a low of 1255.50/1256.50, before improving to peak at 1277.50/1278.50 by midmorning as equities retreated on weak US manufacturing data. Price traded around this level for the remainder of the session, closing at 1273.50/1274.50.
Gold traded slightly higher today at 1274, after making a new correction low. The price move was a 'hammer' in the candlestick charts, which is a bullish signal after an extended decline, but only if it is confirmed by a higher close tomorrow. The previous support level at 1277 acted as resistance; key support is at 1240.
Gold climbed to the Life time High as Rupee dropped and political tension over Syria increased demand for the precious metal as a store of value.Western powers told the Syrian opposition to expect a strike against Syria President Bashar al-Assad's forces within days
SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold-backed ETF, said its holdings rose 0.10 percent, or 0.90 tonnes, to 921.03 tonnes.
Silver opened the day at the session low of 20.63/20.68. Price improved to a high of 21.25/21.30 on declining equities as investors remained cautious while US lawmakers continue to negotiate a budget deal. Silver closed the day at 21.18/21.23.
Silver closed slightly lower at 21.23, and similar to gold, today's candle may be a hammer, though again it would have to be confirmed by a higher close tomorrow. Support is at 19.85, the 76.4% retracement of the last rally, with resistance at 21.67, the 50% retracement level.
The gold-silver ratio has been grinding higher for the past 3 sessions, currently at 60.03. We have been bearish the ratio, looking for a retracement back to the 57.09 low of Aug 28th. We would stop ourselves out of this position at 62.37, the previous high.
Silver rose as weakness in rupee supported amid growing speculation the U.S. was moving closer to taking military action against Syria's government.An early end to stimulus could hurt precious metals by drawing investors away from non-interest-bearing assets.
Holdings at ishares silver trust gained by 44.99 tonnes to 10600.69 tonnes from 10555.70 tonnes.
