• The direction of the June Comex gold futures contract into the close on Wednesday will be determined by trader reaction to $1868.00.
Gold futures are inching lower late in the session on Wednesday following the release of the minutes from the Fed’s April meeting. The market plunged earlier in the session after hitting a fresh four-month high as the cryptocurrency market collapsed. Today’s rally fell short of a major 50% level at $1894.50.
At 19:22 GMT, June Comex gold futures are trading $1867.70, down $0.30 or -0.02%. This is down from an intraday high of $1891.30. Rollover to the August futures contract on Thursday.
Gold futures slipped from a four-month high as investors digested news that there was a group of Federal Reserve officials open to talking about tapering bond purchases. Treasury yields and the U.S. Dollar rose after the minutes were released, pressuring dollar-denominated gold.
