Gold Trading Week Ahead - 11 May 2015

Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015 May 11, 2015 - 08:59 AM GMT

By: Harley_Salt

Commodities After a big week last week with the UK election and US non-farm payroll data released, this week also has a number of key events and releases that will influence the direction of gold, particularly mid-week.


The US non-farm payroll data out last week come in below expectations, as has been the trend for a lot of the macro economic data coming out of the US in recent months. The ongoing flow of weak data has given gold demand a boost. As we have been saying for a while now, the Fed cannot and should not be thinking about raising rates any time soon. We predict that the Fed will not move on rates until 2016 given the weakness in the US economy.

This week the key data and events come from all points of the globe.

Monday sees the Bank of England policy decision, it was held back due to the UK election last week, rates are expected to remain on hold at 0.5%. The Eurogroup meets Monday with Germany stating in recent days that they do not see a deal on Greek debt being done and warning of a Greek default. Concerns over Greece and the Eurozone may be back in the headlines this week.

Tuesday will see the Australian Federal Budget released. Gold investors should keep watch on the AUD and gold priced in AUD. I do not expect the AUD to react significantly upon its release given most of the data will be selectively released before it is handed down, however watch for any surprises. Also out Tuesday is UK Industrial Production numbers for March.

Wednesday is a big day with the Bank of England Inflation Report, UK Unemployment Rate, Chinese Retails Sales and Industrial Production, German GDP (Q1) and US Retail Sales Data. US Retail Sales are expected to increase by 1.3% which is lower than the previous reading which was 1.5%.

Thursday has the US Jobless Claims.

Friday will see the release of the University of Michigan Consumer Confidence report with the reading expected to improve from 95.9 to 96.4, showing an increase in sentiment.

This week I expect to see gold test the US$1,200/oz resistance level, while if gold does turn lower it could test the support at US$1,173/oz. We are already seeing in early Asian trade that gold is pushing higher towards US$1,190/oz.
