Post# of 118
(Kitco News) - Gold prices are slightly higher in early U.S. trading Wednesday. Prices were modestly lower overnight but received a mild lift when the U.S. ADP national employment report for May came in at up 169,000, which is a miss to the downside. A rise of 205,000 was expected. June Comex gold was last up $2.20 at $1,195.40 an ounce. July Comex silver was last up $0.006 at $16.58 an ounce.
The key “outside markets” on Wednesday morning see Nymex crude oil futures prices solidly higher and have hit a new five-month high above $62.00 a barrel. The U.S. dollar index is weaker and hovering near a four-month low. These two markets are presently in a combined bullish technical posture for the precious metals and the entire raw commodity sector—suggesting that the recent “bust” in the raw commodity cycle has ended and that a “boom” in the raw commodity cycle is just around the corner.
