Comex gold prices declined following indications from U.S. central bank officials that they anticipate maintaining high interest rates. Additionally, investors were keeping an eye on an important meeting regarding the outcome of debt-ceiling negotiations in Washington. Multiple Federal Reserve policymakers expressed their view that interest rates should remain elevated, with Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin stating his skepticism about inflation steadily decreasing to the central bank’s 2% target. Furthermore, April’s U.S. retail sales fell short of market expectations, signaling a slowdown in consumer activity.

The Fed official’s comments on the monetary policy and further interest rate hikes are also hawkish and negative for precious metals.

Gold prices slipped below $2,000 per troy ounce and silver prices also slipped below $24 per troy ounce levels on Tuesday. The U.S. retail sales and core retail sales data for the month of April was also lower than expected but industrial production data was slightly better than expected.

Ajay Kedia, Director Kedia Commodity Views 17 May 2023 3
Gold prices resumes its negative trading to move away from 2000, reinforcing the expectations of continuing the bearish trend for the rest of the day, waiting to visit 1977.25 that represents our next main target. The EMA50 and stochastic continue to support the suggested bearish wave, which will remain valid unless the price rallied to breach 2012 levels and hold above them. Silver price trades with clear negativity to test 23.70 level now, to support the continuation of the expected bearish trend for today, reminding you that breaking the mentioned level will open the way to head towards 23.00 as a next target. Therefore, we will continue to suggest the bearish trend for the upcoming period, supported by stochastic negativity, reminding you that it is important to hold below 24.15 as a first condition to continue the expected decline.

Looming concerns regarding a potential US debt default have kept gold prices buoyed for the past few days. However, yesterday, President Joe Biden and congressional leaders said they were optimistic a deal was possible, even as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy warned that the two sides remained far apart. Resolving the crisis might be a short-term headwind for gold prices.
