3nd June 2015 Technical Report: The gold markets went back and forth during the course of the session on Tuesday, as we continue to grind sideways. With that being the case, the market looks as if it has plenty of support at the $1180 level, but significant resistance near the $1200 level. Ultimately, the market looks as if it wants to grind sideways in the meantime, but ultimately we believe that the markets are probably going to wait until we get the jobs number coming out on Friday, as it will have a significant amount of impact on the US dollar in general. Daily Support/Resistance S3 1162 S2 1172 S1 1180 Pivot 1192 R1 1204 R2 1214 R3 1225 Fundament Report: Gold tumbled $1.80 to trade at 1190.50 while Silver added 17 points to 16.697 and Platinum rose $5.20 to 1109.40 but there was very little reaction to the suggestion that a deal had been reached with Greece except the US dollar fell but gold remained flat. There was also no response to better than expected inflation reports from the Eurozone. Gold held firm below $1,200 an ounce on Tuesday as the dollar climbed to a fresh 12-1/2-year peak against the yen and strong US economic data supported expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike later this year. Gold initially rose in the prior session after US consumer spending growth unexpectedly stalled in April, but gave up those gains after data showed manufacturing activity picked up in May for the first time in seven months and construction spending surged in April to a near 6-1/2-year high. The data kept alive expectations the Fed will hike US interest rates later this year from record lows, boosting the dollar. Higher rates would reduce demand for non-interest-paying bullion.
