As gold prices glitter Thursday, the day after the release of the Fed’s July meeting minutes, Gary Wagner tells Kitco News the technicals are faring well. “We’re at a critical point — roughly the $1,150-1,155 area — and a break and a close above this area, really signals something significant,” he says. “We could actually see this market trade as high as $1,170 before correcting,” he adds. Looking at the fundamentals, Gary says that gold is garnering support from weaker equity markets as well as uncertainty in the global economy. “And that, of course, is affecting the Fed decision on when they will pull the trigger on rates,” he notes. Based on the charts, Gary says if gold can break through some key Fibonacci retracement levels, the metal may be headed above $1,300 an ounce. “If we see a continuation of economic uncertainty globally, there’s going to be those safe haven buys [for gold],” he says.
