Gold chart and commentary:

Many analysts see a major shift happening in the gold market with gold advancing and holding rather comfortably above a key psychological level of $1,300.00 an ounce

This political backdrop may also be influencing one of the key drivers in the price of gold, namely the US Dollar index and its recent move to the downside.

From April of this year, the US Dollar index has fallen from $1.01 levels down to below .92Cents and appears to continue to be under pressure.

Could this indeed mean a significant inflection point for gold and herald a continuing move to the upside?  Only time will tell us for sure.

However, some interesting technical markers and short to intermediate term trends may be derived from the gold chart below;  begging the question “Is this breakout creating significant inertia to break out of its range bound state signaling a long term trend?.”

In addition to exploring outright futures contract positions in gold and explaining the potential market risks involved, Cannon Trading’s brokers may also suggest and explore gold options plays and configurations including option spreads with gold and other commodities. Despite the excitement that the recent gold “surge” may invoke, one must keep in mind that these are risky markets and only risk capital ca n be used. In addition, regardless of the market, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
