Gold and silver futures prices are sharply higher in midday U.S. trading Wednesday. Gold prices scored a five-week high and silver a three-month high. The precious metals bulls are stoked by a reaffirmed easy money policy from the Federal Reserve and rising hopes of a new stimulus package for Americans. A meltdown in the U.S. dollar index is also working in favor of the precious metals market bulls. On this day the metals bulls also cast aside the better risk appetite in the marketplace. February gold futures were last up $32.90 at $1,892.00 and March Comex silver was last up $1.173 at $26.225 an ounce.
March silver futures prices hit a three-month high today. Silver futures bulls have the overall near-term technical advantage amid a price uptrend in place on the daily bar chart. Silver bulls’ next upside price objective is closing prices above solid technical resistance at $28.00 an ounce. The next downside price objective for the bears is closing prices below solid support at $24.00. First resistance is seen at today’s high of $26.305 and then at $26.50. Next support is seen at $26.00 and then at today’s low of $25.335.Â
