According to foreign media statistics, the market value of the S&P 500 index has evaporated by $2 trillion since the outbreak of the war with Iran.On March 14, U.S. Attorney Robert Piro vowed to continue his investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell after a judge dismissed subpoenas issued to him, potentially delaying the appointment of Kevin Warsh as Powells successor, whose term ends in May. U.S. District Judge James Bosberg stated that the government failed to provide any evidence to justify its subpoenas related to renovations at the Fed headquarters and Powells comments on the project. Piro stated, "This process was arbitrarily disrupted by a radical judge. The process should have proceeded smoothly, but they didnt. They are disgraceful." Senator Tillis, a member of the Senate Banking Committee, warned that he would block any nomination of a Fed chairman as long as the Justice Departments investigation into Powell continues. "This ruling confirms how weak and baseless the criminal investigation into Chairman Powell has been; it is nothing more than a failed attack on the Feds independence," Tillis said. "The appeal will only delay the confirmation of Kevin Warsh as the next Fed chairman."FedEx (FDX.N) has surpassed United Parcel Service (UPS.N) to become the new leader in the express delivery industry.Ford plans to authorize the repurchase of up to 31.7 million shares.Ukrainian President Zelensky: The US wants to hold talks in the US because, under the current circumstances, US negotiators cannot leave the country.

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.
