Gold

Fundamental Analysis:   

Gold prices rose 1% Tuesday 29th November 2022, helped by a retreat in the dollar and hopes for a lower rate hike by the Federal Reserve in the future. Spot gold rose 0.6% to $1,751.21 an ounce.

The federal funds rate futures market now expects the Fed to raise rates by 50 basis points at its December policy meeting with a 63.5% probability and another 50 basis point hike in February with an 88% probability.

The market will be watching Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s speech at a Brookings Institution event on Wednesday 30th November 2022, which could provide more clarity on the Fed’s policy stance.

Gold pays attention to the 1768-line today. If the gold price runs below the 1768-line, then it will pay attention to the support strength of the 1747 and 1727 positions. If the gold price breaks above the 1768-line, then pay attention to the suppression strength of the two positions of 1783 and 1793.                 

3. Commodities Market Insight   

WTI Crude Oil   

Fundamental Analysis:   

Oil prices rose Tuesday 29th November 2022 as epidemic fears eased, but concerns about OPEC+ keeping production unchanged at an upcoming meeting limited gains. A weaker dollar also helped boost oil prices.

The dollar usually moves in the opposite direction of oil prices. The dollar index fell to 106.65 from a 20-year high as investors expect the Federal Reserve to peak interest rates early next year as inflationary pressures are expected to ease. 

Technical Analysis:

(Crude Oil 1-hour Chart) 

Oil prices focus on the 77.54 line today. If the oil price runs above the 77.54 -line, then focus on the suppression strength of the two positions of 79.09 and 81.12. If the oil price runs below the 77.54 -line, then pay attention to the support strength of the two positions of 76.07 and 75.04.
