Gold Down Slightly With Focus Squarely Back on Fed

Investing.com – With just four trading sessions separating gold bugs from the most anticipated closing event of the year (the December Federal Reserve meeting) price swings have become almost non-existential in the yellow metal, with Thursday’s 0.2% retreat again showing how muted things could get.

Since Monday’s five-month high of $1,256.60 hit on concerns of a delayed Brexit vote by UK Prime Minister Theresa May, gold futures haven’t gone far in either direction, with focus squarely on whether the Fed would proceed or stall on a rate hike when it closes its meeting on Dec 19.

In the latest session, benchmark COMEX for February settled down $2.60 at $1,247.40 per troy ounce as PM May survived a bid by lawmakers within her ruling Conservatives to oust her, although her battered support base and maligned EU exit plan could have disastrous effects for Britain, analysts said.

“For now and the coming days, our focus is back on the Fed,” said Tom Beller, market strategist for metals at RJO Futures in Chicago. “I think the $1,250 support base we’ve had in recent days has turned resistance, until we get a further idea of what will happen on Dec. 19 and beyond.”
