It advanced shortly after U.S. data showed an increase in the number of initial jobless claims. The metal then declined to a low of 1160.50/1161.50 before rebounding to a high of 1167.75/1168.75 on dollar weakness as crude oil prices fell to a new 4-year low following weak Chinese data showed a drop in factory output. Gold pulled back towards the end of the day to close relatively flat at 1161.75/1162.75. Silver moved slightly higher overnight, opening the session at 15.70/15.75. Shortly after the open, it touched a high of 15.79/15.84 before retreating to a low of 15.61/15.66, prior to concluding the session at 15.63/15.68.

The recent consolidation has centered around the 9 day MA (1159), and has occurred alongside a moderation in bearish momentum indicators. We continue to look for a break of Friday’s candle, with a real body between 1142 and 1178 encapsulating the recent range. Silver has closed at 15.66, unchanged from Wednesday at the mid-point of a four-session range bound between 15.47 and 15.90. Closing resistance continues to be observed at the 9 day MA (15.70), and we look to potential support around the November 7th open of 15.41. Momentum indicators are bearish; however, they have moderated from the oversold levels observed last week.

However, we note the intraday break below the 9 day MA and highlight that momentum indicators have moderated from their recent overbought levels. We focus on the recent multi-year high near 74.70, as well as expected support around 74.00.
