Gold futures are trading lower at the mid-session after posting a mostly mixed performance earlier in the session. Buyers seem a little tentative despite a reversal to the downside by the U.S. Dollar against a basket of currencies and lower Treasury yields. Traders also showed little reaction to the disappointing Weekly U.S. Initial Claims report which came in higher than expected.
At 16:50 GMT, December Comex gold is trading $1950.10, down $20.20 or -1.03%.
Daily Swing Chart Technical Analysis
The main trend is up according to the daily swing chart. A trade through $2024.60 will signal a resumption of the uptrend. A move through $1874.20 will change the main trend to down.
The formation of the secondary lower top at $2024.60 suggests the selling may be greater than the buying at current price levels.
