COMEX FUTURES REPORT
· FOMC meet is the key.
· Silver needs to trade over $1920 to be in bullish zone
The wider trading range in gold is $1264-$1286-$1311-$1335. These are the key price levels to watch to watch till Friday. Long term support for the month of May is at $1264 and in case gold trades over $1264 in May then the chances of re test of this year’s high of $1392.60 will be very high. Gold will rise to $1392.60 if and only if the Federal reserve directly and very clearly says that taper beyond June is not certain. The past twelve months disappointment in gold makes me extra cautious going long in the futures market. Long term investors in gold need to use a stop loss of $1120 for their gold investments. For the short term, as long as gold trades over $1260 one can be long with a higher stop loss below $1248. I am against investing in gold at the current market price of $1295.
Silver has a key long term support at $18.06 and as long as silver trades over $18.06, downside risk will be limited. On the higher side silver needs to trade over $2060 for a few days to start a short term bull rally.
In India there are huge long positions in gold and silver in the futures market (as per the information with us). In case gold and silver fall on Thursday and Friday, a lot of these long positions will be cut and losses will be booked.
Global gold and silver prices will be affected if Indians are forced to square off their long positions (due to margin money call). However in my view Indians will not cut/square off gold long positions as long as gold trades over $1257. Indians will not square off long positions in silver as long as silver trades over $1806.
Needless to mention that the FOMC tonight will be the key. Any hawkish tone on interest rates and/or taper will be very bullish for gold and silver.
