On September 11, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that while the trade measures imposed by the United States on Canada this week will impact some businesses, the overall impact will be "limited." He also hinted that the government currently has no plans for retaliatory action. "We fully recognize that these measures have a significant impact on individual businesses and specific industries," Carney said. "But I also believe that when considered in the context of other measures taken by the U.S. government, these measures are relatively limited." When asked whether Canada would retaliate, Carney stated that the best approach is to focus on the governments established plans to strengthen the domestic economy and diversify trade and economic relations.Meta Platforms (META.O) announced a cash dividend of $0.53 per share, payable on September 28, 2026.The Central Bank of Peru kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.25%.On September 11, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met with visiting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Calgary, Alberta, on September 10.

June Gold Buyers May Face Difficulties at $1987.60

The market's strength is being fueled by demand for a hedge against rising inflation during the Russia-Ukraine conflict, lessening pressure from expectations of an aggressive US interest rate hike, and the US Dollar's intraday reversal top.

 

June Comex gold futures are currently trading at $1982.70, up $6.60 or 0.33 percent from their previous close. The SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) is currently trading at $184.66, up $0.89 or 0.48 percent from its previous close.

 

Gold is regarded as an inflation hedge and a hedge against geopolitical concerns. However, higher interest rates in the United States would increase the opportunity cost of storing non-yielding bullion and strengthen the dollar against which it is valued.

 

However, the price action shows that gold buyers are seeking insurance against inflation and are not very concerned about opportunity costs at the moment. Despite all of the Fed's hawkish rhetoric and anticipation for aggressive rate hikes, we have yet to witness a shift in the direction of inflation.

 

Gold is likely to remain underpinned for the foreseeable future as long as the inflation arrow continues to point upward and the Ukraine war continues.

Technical Analysis of the Daily Swing Chart

According to the daily swing chart, the primary trend is upward. A move over the intraday high of $1985.50 reaffirms the uptrend. A break of $1916.20 will revert the major trend to the downside.

 

On the upside, the retracement zone between $1987.60 and $2009.90 is the nearest objective.

 

On the downside, the long-term Fibonacci level at $1958.70 serves as the initial support, followed by the short-term 50% level at $1932.90.

Technical Forecast for the Daily Swing Chart

The June Comex gold futures market's path through Wednesday's close is likely to be dictated by trader reaction to the 50% level at $1987.60.

Scenario of Bullishness

A sustained move above $1987.60 will signal that buyers are present. This could provide the necessary momentum for a test of the Fibonacci level at $2009.90. This is a trigger point for an upside acceleration.

Scenario of the Bear

A persistent decline below $1987.60 indicates the existence of sellers. They intend to attempt the formation of a secondary lower top. This, if successful, might result in a break into $1958.70.
