Gold slides 1.6% ๐Ÿ“‰

Gold is ending the week lower as demand for risk assets continues and the S&P 500 looks to close out another week of gains on Wall Street. The lack of a negotiated ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul has not lifted gold prices, which remain below $3,200 an ounce. Gold is down nearly 1.7% today and, alongside silver, which is selling off 1.3%, contrasts with the gains seen in stocks.

Gold (H1)

On the hourly time frame, we see that gold has failed to hold above the 38.2 Fibonacci retracement of the May 6 downtrend. The key short-term resistance zone is currently $3,250, set by previous price reactions and the 38.2 Fibo.
