The Charts Don’t Lie on Gold   no comments

Posted at 12:00 pm in Taiwan Stock Exchange

Stocks closed greater on Monday, but once more volume was quite low.?Purchasing lacked conviction, as a result, as well as although about a fifth of Friday’s decline was offset, most of the volume was in just two stocks Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C).

Stocks opened high following better-than-expected earnings from Halliburton (HAL).? But lower revenues continued to dog the broad marketplace.? Hasbro (HAS) and Delta Airlines (DAL) beat estimates but missed their revenue forecasts and both stocks closed lower with DAL off two.90%.

Moody’s Investors Services upgraded Citigroup along with the shares closed two.1% greater.?But Bank of America fell two.7% which gave the huge bank a loss of 11.9% considering that their earnings report on Friday.

The only economic report of the day was from the National Association of Property Builders.?Their index of confidence in new-home sales dropped to its lowest level because April 2009, falling to 14 as an alternative to the 16 that was expected.

Energy stocks led a late rally with Smith International (SII) gaining 4.5% and Schlumberger (SLB) up 4.4%.?Quicksilver Resources (KWK) jumped 16.9% on a achievable merger with Reliance Industries.?

But the late rally was mostly as a result of anticipation of much better earnings from 17 businesses that had been scheduled to report earnings following the close.?IBM (IBM) and Texas Instruments (TXN) are two of the bigger organizations that analysts say really should beat both estimates and revenues and possibly set the pace for a continuation of Monday’s rally. But following the close, IBM reported that their Q2 earnings elevated by 9.1% but revenues fell brief of estimates.?Texas Instruments shares fell in after-market trading following their quarterly report which met earnings and exceeded revenue estimates.

The Dow Jones Industrial Typical on Monday rose 57 points to 10,154, the S&P 500 gained 6 to 1,071 and Nasdaq was up 19 points, closing at two,198.?The NYSE traded 955 million shares with advancers leading decliners by 1.8-to-1.?Nasdaq crossed 498 million shares and advancers there led by 1.4-to-1.

Crude oil for August delivery rose 53 cents to $76.54 a barrel, along with the Amex Energy SPDR (XLE) gained 33 cents to $52.06. August gold fell $6.30 to $1.181.90 an ounce, its lowest level because May as money flowed to other assets.?The PHLX Gold/Silver Index (XAU) lost $2.14, closing at $165.25.

What the Markets Are Saying

As one of my favorite technicians, Michael Ashbaugh, put it, While the recent marketplace price action has been undeniably volatile, it’s also been distinctly technical.?What Michael means by that is that despite the wide, maddening swings the marketplace has reacted predictably.?For example, last week, despite an impressive rally when it bumped into the extremely obvious resistance of the 200-day moving typical along with the main bearish resistance line, each major index reversed almost exactly at it hit its respective technical barrier.

And, as repeatedly noted, volume on rallies has consistently been lower than the volume on declines which is a fairly obvious clue that the bears are in control of things.

Which brings us to a more difficult set of charts represented by a group that need to do well when the economy along with the rest of the stock marketplace are under stress:?I’m of course referring to the recent price action of gold.?Earlier this year gold rose as tensions in Europe and Asia elevated and was often cited as a refuge while other stable investments crumbled.

First let’s examine the technical action and then we’ll discuss why gold has been a poor recent performer.? Early in July the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) fell through both the 20- and 50-day moving averages.?Then, last week a low volume rebound failed to overcome the 50-day moving typical, and GLD began to look more like the S&P 500 than the store of value that we normally expect.?But an examination of the long-term charts shows that the uptrend is still intact and what we are focusing on is merely an intermediate correction with support at around $110 for GLD.?One of the reasons for the decline to U.S. holders is the recent rebound in the euro which began in late June.?This makes sense given that gold (to us) is priced in U.S. dollars.?In other words if you are a European your gold rose during this period as the euro advanced on account of a perception of a recovery in Europe and also the link between the currency and gold.?Plus there has been a perception that most of the disappointing economic data in the U.S. is behind us and thus this safe haven is not so necessary.?

Our Trade of the Day is a monthly chart of GLD which clearly shows that the long-term uptrend is intact. ?
