Gold ETFs Near Oversold Levels
Gold ETFs near oversold levels after equity markets drop additional percent
Gold spot price and gold ETFs are slowly approaching oversold levels as the precious metal continues to track equity markets into the red. The gold spot price decreased .32% to close at $1703.50 per ounce, while the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSEARCA:GLD) lost .34% and the iShares Gold Trust ETF (NYSEARCA:IAU) lost .42%.
Gold ETFs have been following equity prices lately, and equity prices have been dropping rapidly due to technical weakness and continued spooks from abroad and at home. Gold ETFs and gold spot prices typically rise when the value of the US Dollar or other currencies declines, so if the Fed or ECB step in and “ease” further, gold ETFs might begin to rise again. More likely however, is that the gold spot price and gold ETFs are all reaching oversold levels on their RSI indicators. A security typically rebounds from oversold levels as soon as a level of ’30′ is broken on the RSI, so the fact that gold and gold ETFs are near the ’30′ mark suggests that gold prices are at least due for a technical turn around.
