Gold, Silver Rally On New-Year
Gold and silver prices ended the first full U.S. day session of the new year with decent gains Tuesday. Bargain hunting in the cash markets and short covering in the futures markets were featured. A sharp rise in the U.S. dollar index overnight did limit buying interest in the gold and silver markets early on, but when the dollar index backed well off its daily high the gold and silver buyers stepped in. February Comex gold was last up $9.10 an ounce at $1,160.70. March Comex silver was last up $0.371 at $16.36 an ounce.
World stock markets were in rally mode Tuesday, but when the U.S. stock indexes started to weaken a bit as the session progressed that also helped out the precious metals market bulls.
A marketplace feature Tuesday was the rally in the U.S. dollar index, which is back near its 13-year high that was scored in late December. The other key “outside market” on Tuesday saw Nymex crude oil prices reverse course and trade lower in afternoon action, after scoring good gains overnight. Last year’s high of $55.44 in February Nymex crude oil futures, which was set in late December, remains stiff overhead chart resistance. Brent crude oil futures prices hit a 17-month high overnight
