• Kitco Survey | Wall St., Main St. See Gold Prices Maintaining Upward Momentum (22 – 26 July)

    22 Jul 2019 | Gold News

Wall Street and Main Street look for gold to keep building on its recent gains, according to the weekly Kitco News gold survey.

The metal hit a fresh six-year high in screen trading after renewed dovishness from Federal Reserve officials Thursday.





“Gold has not only continued its upward move, it has clearly broken out to the upside,” said Phil Flynn, senior market analyst with at Price Futures Group. “A slew of dovish comments by Fed officials, along with rising geopolitical tensions with Iran, will keep gold on its upward trek.”



Charlie Nedoss, senior market strategist with LaSalle Futures Group, looks for gold to rise after the metal got an extra boost Thursday when the market initially construed remarks from New York Fed President John Williams as a possible hint at a 50-basis-point rate cut.



Jim Wyckoff, senior technical analyst with Kitco, looks for gold to be higher due to a bullish charts posture.



Meanwhile, Sean Lusk, co-director of commercial hedging with Walsh Trading, figures that barring a major geopolitical flare-up, the market could be due a profit-taking pullback with so much Fed dovishness already factored into prices.



Adrian Day, chairman and chief executive officer of Adrian Day Asset Management, looks for the market to be roughly unchanged over the next week.



“The gold market has high expectations for the Fed’s next meeting at the end of the month and is pretty much priced for perfection,” Day said. “So it will likely stay unchanged or even modestly weaker going into the meeting and could well see a pullback if the Fed fails to meet expectations on either the size of the rate cut of perhaps with cautious accompanying commentary. It is unlikely to do anything more than the market is expecting.



“Beyond that, however, we are very bullish, with gold supported by ongoing easy money and uneasy stock valuations.”
