Overnight, precious metals are stabilizing, after Friday’s bloodbath.
On Friday, the pressure from the stronger-than-expected PMI data caused a 4% sell-off in Silver, a 3% sell-off in Copper, and a 1.5% sell-off in Gold. In anticipation of this, many of you were able to reduce exposure on Thursday (how many times did I give you the warning), which allowed you to add exposure near the lows on Friday afternoon.
Despite the PMI uptick, the Global macroeconomic environment shows signs of weakening. I firmly believe that the Fed will make two cuts (in September and December), solidifying a bottom in many markets.
What to watch this week
- Consumer confidence is expected to be 100.2
- (May 28, 102 vs 96 Exp) result May 28 – Gold up $27 (beige book release as well as other fed speakers)
- GDP
- Jobless claims (5 straight weeks of higher data) – If we see another aggressive uptick (5k or more), 10-year treasuries should see a break, leading to higher Gold prices.
- PCE – Fed’s preferred method of gaging inflation
- Gas Prices – Will go through a seasonal adjustment
- Shelter (higher)
- Services, Goods, and discretionary spending (lower)
- Gas Prices – Will go through a seasonal adjustment
We expect PCE to continue progressing towards the Fed’s 2.0% target.

Silver we are going to target another call spread.
Gold – Support $2300, First resistance $2370 (50 DMA), we must see a close above $2392 to reignite the bulls
Silver – Support 50 DMA at $29.29 with critical support $28.28 and only a close over $31.19 brings back a new wave of buyers.

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.
One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
