Gold XAUUSD broke above the strong resistance at around $/oz 1.834 with ease but ran out of steam before reaching next strong resistance at around $/oz 1.910. $/oz 1.875 sellers took control hammering the precious metal down $ 100 in three days.
Is seems finding some support here around the 55 and 200 SMA’s and the short term rising trend line?
Silver XAGUSD only had a few days above $/oz 25 testing the 200 Simple Moving Average. Similar to Gold Silver got hit by heavy selling and is now testing support at around $/oz 23.15, neckline of the S-H-S pattern. A close below could spur another sell-off down to around 21.45 i.e. bottom of the inverted head.
Platinum reached it potential price target after the Inverted Shoulder-Head-Shoulder pattern confirmation. Mood changed quickly though after being rejected at the 200 SMA a heavy selling hit the precious metal. Straight through minor support at around $/oz 1000. Some support at around the falling neckline of the S-H-S pattern which currently coincide with $950. However, with RSI now recorded a close below 40 threshold i.e. in bearish sentiment there is great risk of Platinum to test strong support at around $/oz 900.
Palladium could be range bound between $/oz 1.827 and 2.205 likely testing the lower support within a few days. No clear direction before breaking out of the fairly wide range. If Palladium breaks its support there isn’t any real support before at around $1.732.
Copper. After being rejected at the strong resistance at around $/lbs 482.50 Copper experienced a sell-off down to test the falling trend line in the triangle pattern it broke out of. The Commodity has tested it a few times sellers trying to push it back below the trend line, unsuccessful it might seem.
If it closes above $450 we are likely to see a new retest of the resistance level.
If Bears can push it back down below the trend line and close below $ 420 it could trigger a sell-off towards $ 400.
RSI is still bullish and with no divergence indicating the likely scenario is a bullish one.
After the bubble implosion and total collapse in the Iron Ore price it seems to have found solid ground around $90. On the weekly chart we can see the metal is essentially back to upper level in the “range bound base” it was trading in before market participants entered a buying frenzy last year.
The past two weeks of trading indicates sellers have run out of power and a minor bounce towards the 200 weekly SMA at around $107 is not unlikely. A close above could extend the bounce to $125-130.
RSI Divergence explained: When an indicator such as RSI is displaying lower peaks while the underlying price is still making new highs. It is a sign of imbalance in the market, the strength of the trend is weakening. It could be an indicating of an ending of a trend. However, imbalances in financial markets can go on for quite some time. To cancel Divergence out RSI must either 1. Make a new high simultaneously with the price or 2. Close below 40 threshold.
Same can be observed in bear market just here market makes a new low but Indicator doesn’t.
AI: The good, the bad, and the bubble
While a deep recession may not be iminent thanks to central bank policy, interest rates will have to stay high for longer, and this will be accompanied by volatility risk from the unwinding of bubbles, especially within AI.

The emergence of advanced AI systems is by far the most surprising event this year, turning everything upside down, while risks and benefits are debated. AI will also become an arms race between the US and China.

While commodities, broadly speaking, have faced some tough months, a partial reversal during June could signal that the asset class is getting back on its feet with energy holding up and precious metals with upside potential.

The USD is on its back foot as markets celebrate an eventual Fed rate peak and steady long US yields. The stakes are even higher for the Japanese yen if longer major sovereign yield curves have to price in economic acceleration.

As inflation remains high central banks face hard decisions about whether they should keep hiking interest rates or stop. Meanwhile, the rise of AI creates bubble-like conditions that only make the decision harder.

The AI fever has turned the technology into a darling, pushing crypto further into no-man’s-land. There are striking similarities between AI and crypto, and if these are to come full circle, AI won't be spared for bubbles.

Stocks related to artificial intelligence (AI) have appeared on investors' radars. Expectations are high, but it may be necessary to consider how to get exposure to AI in a diversified way.

Japan’s expertise in semiconductors and robotic integration could be the foundation of AI dominance. Combining two of this year's themes, Japanese equities and artificial intelligence, brings a wave of opportunities.
