Gold Spread Betting, 27 Aug 2010
Gold continues to hold the high ground and one gets the feeling that it is either building its strength for a sharp move higher or is, possibly, building a second ‘shoulder’ in a head and shoulders formation which would see prices sharply lower in the longer term. Take your pick.
We really need more bad news to keep the bull momentum going as more money pours into the perceived safe haven of the yellow metal. But the old argument that inflation is good for gold seems to have been forgotten as the forecasts for prices are hardly aggressive.
Support is at $1228/1232 and then $1220/1222 whereas resistance is $1238/42 and obviously the recent highs of $1244 up to $1248.
Gold Spread Betting, 26 Aug 2010
Gold is back up at the highs and probing higher as I write. Open longs have been reported as being nearly 40% up on last year which gives an indication as to the possible overhang if things go wrong.
However, for the moment the bulls are having it all their own way and it is very difficult to justify opposing the momentum.
Gold Spread Betting, 25 Aug 2010
The strangest market of all yesterday was Gold. The market started on the soft side and then slipped sharply in the early afternoon.
As the Americans came in though the rebound was violent and we recorded first a drop of $15 and then a bounce of $25. All in a short period of time.
But then we stopped. Ever since four thirty yesterday the market has traded in a three/four Dollar range between $1229 and $1233, we are currently at $1231 in the middle.
If I was being paranoid I would suggest that there was just a tad of manipulation going on and there was a very, very large option expiry either yesterday or possibly today at or around $1230.
Anyway longs are still confident of a rally and our spread betting account holders continue to buy on any pull backs. We seem to have run into something of a wall at around $1234/36 but aside from the weird action mentioned there seems no appetite for profit taking.
Gold Spread Betting, 24 Aug 2010
Gold continues to hold steady ‘near to’ the highs and this seems to be something of a theme for the metal in recent times. Periods of stability and then a move higher or lower to a new level where we hold for a few sessions before moving on.
Bulls will be eyeing $1218/1220 for signs of a break as this might indicate a renewed phase of weakness but in the meantime our financial spread betting clients are picking up more longs to ‘take advantage of’ the small recent falls.
Gold remains the hedge against worldwide problems for many reasons but mainly, I believe, because people really cannot think of anything else to do. If the equity markets do go through another bout of destruction, we can expect the doomsayers to be extolling the virtues of the Yellow metal once again.

Gold Spread Betting, 18 Aug 2010
Gold remains at the top of the trading ranges but failed to make it through the $1225/27 resistance mentioned yesterday.
Today it is drifting lower in light action but there is reasonable support at $1221/23 to be defeated if a more general drift is to be seen.
There are a series of step supports under the current price, $1217.5-1219.5 and $1212/14, before the more solid $1200/04.
Gold Spread Betting, 17 Aug 2010
There seems to be a certain amount of nervousness around at the moment with equity markets holding their recent ranges, the FTSE to the middle/top and the US/Dax to the middle/bottom, and Gold pushing for the upside.
In times of concern Gold has frequently been a canary in the coal mine, although not always, warning of imminent but unquantifiable fears around the corner.
Gold is grinding ever higher and is now at $1225 pretty much its high for a month or so. There is some resistance at $1225/1227 from the previous support level in June and this may well hold us back for the time being.
A break above here though might give the bulls just the reason they need for a push to the highs. On the other hand, of course, pull backs are meat and drink these days and so shorts on our book are finally building as our clients start to come out of long term longs.
Gold Spread Betting, 16 Aug 2010
Gold is moving inexorably higher and is now at a post 1st July, the big 50 Dollar reversal, peak. It has spent a couple of sessions testing the break of the $1212/14 resistance, now support, but has not seen a retracement.
In this environment the upside ‘looks’ the more probable but it is slightly worrying that the bulls have not made more of the break out. Both bulls and bears will be watching the aforementioned support levels as a return and close below here would not be good.
On the up side the target is no doubt the $1250/65 region which has proved a bar to progress in the past.

Gold Spread Betting, 13 Aug 2010
Gold has, finally, managed to get back above $1212/14 and hold there but does not seem to be making much of the break out. Actual highs from July were around $1218 and so traders are probably waiting to see whether we can get over these before getting too enthusiastic.
However, the woes from the equity markets and the possibility of further ‘printing of money’ from the US and Europe are causing some further speculative buying.
Bears will be hoping for a return below $1212 and then an attempt on $1202/04. On the other hand, bulls will naturally be hoping that we remain at these levels for a while and induce confidence for another shift higher.
Gold Spread Betting, 12 Aug 2010
Price Update:
Gold closed yesterday at $1203.85.
Gold Spread Betting, 11 Aug 2010
In all the recent economic uncertainty Gold should be the winning hand but even here we are stuck at recent levels. Yesterday saw a strong attempt to break below major support at $1189/91 but this can to nothing and the rally after the Feds announcement took us back up to near the recent highs at $1208.
Unfortunately for the bulls this just about wrapped up the good news as markets are now slipping down once again below $1200. Worryingly there is always the underlying sentiment that if a market will not move in its expected direction after news then the probabilities start to turn in the other direction.
Gold Spread Betting, 10 Aug 2010
Price Update:
Gold closed yesterday at $1205.30.
Gold Spread Betting, 9 Aug 2010
Gold has definitely given up on its bear attempt and the bulls, of which there seem to be enumerable numbers, are sitting pretty once again. The resistance at $1212/14 has held again though so the bears will be also hopeful of a repeat performance of recent times and all eyes will be on $1202/04 and then $1196 on the way down.

Gold Spread Betting, 6 Aug 2010
Gold seems to be taking a leaf out of the indices’ book having drifted sideways for the last couple of days. Bulls just seem to be too shy of $1200 and gains are being capped by technical levels.
Gold traders will also be watching NFP very closely today and any number that comes in better than expected could give the dollar a boost, which will put pressure on gold. $1203 and $1212 are expected to offer up resistance and $1185, then $1175 are key for the bulls. A decline back to these levels could mean the good times are up for gold, at least for now.
Gold Spread Betting, 5 Aug 2010
Gold is only a little weaker today, finding it hard to get back above the $1200 level. It's swift recovery from last weeks correction has caught a few people by surprise and the precious metal is finding resistance below the lower upward trend line that it breached back in mid July.
Interestingly, it neatly bounced off it's 200 day moving average, so bulls will be confident the overall trend is still upward and any news that stimulus is going to be maintained will support the price of gold.
Gold Spread Betting, 4 Aug 2010
Gold has broken back above the major long term bull trend line in a move engineered in the dead hours around 12.00 last night when no major markets were open.
This definitely puts a spring in the step of the Bulls, of which there are a vast number, and we are currently 10 Dollars up on the day at around $1196. This puts us above the $1190/92 resistance level which now turns into support. The next target for the bulls will be $1200, obviously, but resistance is at $1204 and more importantly at $1212/14.
Gold Spread Betting, 3 Aug 2010
Gold is the only clear asset that seems uncertain about direction. Yesterday saw an attempt to clear into the bear range in early action swiftly followed by a US inspired attempt to rally in the old $1186/1214 range.
Both attempts were defeated and we eventually settled almost unchanged at around $1182 where we continue to sit this morning.
Technically we failed to get back above the weekly bullish trend line, which was breached last week, and so the bulls will be rather more worried just at the moment than the Bears. However, as commented before, the Bears may run into the almost continual one way bias of investors, both professional and retail, who continue to buy the Yellow Metal as if it was going out of fashion.
$1174/76 is good support as is $1155/58 on the upside $1184/86 and $1190/92 are the barriers to progress.
Gold Spread Betting, 2 Aug 2010
Gold had a good bounce and has made some $20 back after recent declines. Back above the $1,180 level this morning and bulls will be happy to see this. However the underlying technical concern is that last week’s falls broke below the lower upward trend line which means the recent rally might be short lived.

Gold Spread Betting, 30 Jul 2010
Gold continues to languish around $1170 having found support on its 200 day moving average. However the bulls are a little nervous that any further selling and a move below this support area, currently around $1155, could trigger a more severe correction to the downside.
With so many people long of the precious metal, the recent declines have made bulls sit up and take note so some unwinding might see another push lower.
Technical analysts are also continuing to point out that the breach below the upward trend line is a very ominous sign. Also see today’s Gold Technical Analysis.
Gold Spread Betting, 29 Jul 2010
Gold had one of its quietest days for ages yesterday as traders worried about the possibility of a continuation of Tuesdays falls. In the end, neither a recovery nor a continuation was forthcoming and we ended the day pretty much unchanged.
The Gold bugs seem to be taking some comfort from yesterday. So far in today’s early action and we are back up at $1,167 some $10 above the recent lows. The stability is welcome for the bulls but, as with the bounce last week, we are struggling to regain all the lost ground.
As mentioned yesterday, the support at $1,154/58 remains important and it held...which was nice. To the upside, $1174/76 will probably serve as a target point for day trading bulls.
Gold Spread Betting, 28 Jul 2010
The big mover yesterday was Gold which broke through the massive support at $1,175/78 mentioned yesterday. The reaction was pretty much immediate and the metal slumped to $1,157 at its lows.
The trend line break is quite important to the technical analysis as it might indicate an end to the last two years of acceleration rally. The longer term uptrend support is miles lower than current levels and longs will be concerned if yesterday’s falls get further confirmation today.
Current prices are at $1,162 and we are seeing increasing buying from all sides as our spread betting account holders continue to go along with the bull story. There is a support level at between $1,154 and $1,158 but buyers will be hoping that we return above the aforementioned $1,175/78 in the very short term.
As mentioned earlier this week the repo rates are effectively negative with December Gold almost $2 above spot prices, that might indicate that there are a lot of longs out there.
Gold Spread Betting, 27 Jul 2010
The gold spread betting market retraced back (almost exactly) to the major support level (once again) in yesterdays session and has bounced marginally from this point.
The current price of $1,186 will be giving bulls hopes of a buying level as the support is holding but it will also not be dismaying the bears too much either as the bounce from such a major level has not been exactly sparkling.
$1,175/78 remains crucial and should be watched by traders as any breach may be taken very poorly. Whilst we remain above here, though, buyers will continue to pick up positions.
Gold Spread Betting, 26 Jul 2010
Commodities continue to oscillate over the same old ground with Gold seemingly stuck between $1185 and $1205 as the bull and bear argument waxes and wanes.
Dealers are unlikely to take too much on just at the moment but the weekly charts seem to be indicating that the long term bull trend line has held over the last fortnight and bears must be cautious of a sharp reaction higher.
This said we are still close to the support level and spread betting account holders must beware a failure move to the downside. Longs are now getting ‘negative’ monies on Repo for the Spot price, i.e. spot gold is currently higher than the Futures price. Normally it is lower to compensate for having to pay out now on the spot rather than agreeing to pay in the Future. This is often an indication that there are a lot of ‘weak’ longs out there.
If the price drops below $1175/78 we may get a large number of forced liquidations. Dealers will be watching for a break above $1205 and $1212/14 on the up side and the aforementioned $1175 on the down. In the meantime we are in a range trade situation.

How to Spread Bet on Gold?
As with many markets, you can spread bet on the future price of commodities, like Gold, to increase or decrease.
At the time of writing the Gold (December) market is $837.3 - $838.1 with FinancialSpreads.com. This market expires on 27-Nov-07.
Therefore you can spread bet on Gold settling:
- Above $838.1 on 27-Nov-07, or
- Below $837.3 on 27-Nov-07
With the Gold market, you trade in £x per tick, where a tick is $0.1 of Gold movement. Eg if your stake was £2 per tick and Gold moves $1.2 then that would be a £24 difference to your profit / loss (12 ticks x £2 per tick = £24).
Gold Spread Betting Example
Let's say, taking the above spread of $837.3 - $838.1, that after your market analysis you feel that Gold will rise above the $838.1 mark by 27-Nov-07.
Therefore you buy at $838.1 for a stake of £1 per tick.
If by the closing date of 27 Nov the market settles at $845.7. Then your profit and loss is worked out by taking the difference between the final price of $845.7 and the opening price of $838.1 and then multiplying that by the stake per tick.
Profit / loss = (($845.7 - $838.1) / $0.1) x £1 per tick stake.
(ie the forecast price of gold has increased by $7.6)
= ($7.6 / $0.1) x £1 per tick stake.
= £76 profit.
However if the market didn't move as predicted and had the Gold market decreased then you would have lost on this spread bet. Eg if the yellow metal settled at $827.9, then:
Loss = (($827.9 - $838.1) / $0.1) x £1 per tick stake.
= (-$10.2 / $0.1) x £1 per tick stake.
(ie the forecast price of gold has decreased by $10.2)
= -£102 loss.
