Dive into today’s Metals Minute for crucial levels and exciting trade insights on your favorite Precious Metals, overnight happenings, and must-watch highlights for every trading day!
Overnight, the Precious Metals are getting hammered after yesterday’s weaker session.
Given the weakness in Copper, Gold, Platinum, and Palladium, I found Silver’s strength suspicious. Additionally, the U.S. Dollar posted its highest close in two weeks, while two-year yields threatened to break through 5%, and the Dow Jones slipped over 600+ points. Essentially, it was a “sea of red” and not your typical setup for higher Silver prices. If you are working closely with me, chances are you continue to reduce exposure.
By all means, I am not “bearish” on Silver; I find it prudent to call a “timeout” and reassess the situation. Futures trading is about efficiency, and we can get back in just as easy as it is to get out of a trade.
Data releases overnight from the Eurozone indicating a stronger labor market questions the possibility of a June ECB rate cut.
Today, the U.S. will release a flurry of economic data, including a second reading of first-quarter GDP, initial claims, and pending home sales. However, tomorrow’s PCE deflator gauge, the Fed’s preferred inflation metric, will be the big fireworks.
