Markets steady as data weakness raises questions

Gold prices pulled back in early trade on Monday. Spot gold dropped below $3,300 per ounce for the first time in a week. Despite this, gold continues to trade sideways and in a relatively tight range.

The first level of support below current levels comes in around $3,250, although $3,200 looks more significant. Resistance comes in around $3,400. The daily MACD has dropped back below neutral levels, and is close to the area last visited at the beginning of the year.

This too is moving sideways, offering little in the way of clues as to the short-term direction.

Silver was also down in early trade, slumping below  $37 per ounce, and closing in on $36.

The pullback in both precious metals coincides with this morning’s rally in the US dollar. Despite this, gold and silver are still rangebound, although a significant and protracted break of $36 in silver may signal further weakness.
