February 24th - According to Politico, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Monday that Congress is unlikely to consider any legislation to codify President Trumps tariff agenda after the Supreme Court overturned the administrations sweeping tariff policy last week. Johnson stated, "I think reaching a consensus on the path forward at the legislative level on tariffs will be a challenge. So I think thats why the focus is all on the executive side, on the executive branch and what theyre doing and how theyre responding to the ruling."A senior U.S. Department of Justice official said the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission will launch an investigation to consider developing new guidelines for cooperation between competitors.Fitch Ratings: Dont expect the February 20 tariff ruling to translate into a positive factor for US corporate ratings or drive an upgrade.Fitch Ratings: Despite the temporary easing of the situation, U.S. companies are once again facing the challenge of tariff uncertainty.On February 24th, U.S. House Speaker Boris Johnson stated regarding the $134 billion tariff refund issue that, following the Supreme Courts ruling, the White House will decide whether to refund the $134 billion in tariffs. He called this situation "unprecedented" and without precedent. He pointed out that the government has "ample reasons," and the House has not yet intervened in the matter. Democrats are currently pushing for legislation, with some suggesting issuing refund checks directly.

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.
