Ukrainian-Russian conflict unabated, but gold bulls cut
Summary of yesterday:
On the previous trading day (3/2), gold closed down, opening at 1945.12, rising to 1947.96 in the middle, and finally closing at 1928.72. In today's (3/3) opening, there was a shock, and the price was hovering around the 1930 mark.
Fundamental analysis:
The safe-haven nature of gold has an unexpected response to the conflict in the Ukrainian-Russian War. At the same time, the US bond interest rate fell to 1.7%, and the price of gold was opposite to the real interest rate. Therefore, under the influence of the nominal interest rate and inflation expectations, the real interest rate was jointly depressed, and the performance of gold was supported.
The Russian-Ukrainian conflict seems to be unable to be quickly subsided in the short term, and investment safe-haven transactions still dominate the trend of the precious metal market. At the same time, the market began to pay attention to the US non-farm payrolls report for February to be released on Friday night. The current market forecast is 450,000 people, compared with the previous value of 467,000.
The latest announcement (3/3) of gold ETF holdings was +7.84 tons to 1050.22 tons. It has been raised continuously since March, and is still firmly above the 1,000-ton mark. It should be noted that the gold ETF holdings are lagging indicators, and there will be a situation where the price has already risen, and the holdings will continue to rise; this is the case.
Technical Analysis:
At present, the daily trend is still dominated by bulls, but it has hit 1950, the strong resistance above and the previous strong resistance. At the same time, it closed a high and long shadow candle last week, which has the opportunity to drive the price to reverse and fall. Although it gapped higher on Monday, it fell again after hitting 1950 yesterday, indicating that the strong resistance of 1950 still exists, and there is an opportunity to show a short range at any time.
You can first notice that the price touches the resistance of 1950, and then look at the support of 1905. There will be a profit space of 4,500 US dollars in single-hand trading.
