Kitco News, Released on 6/12/26
Gold futures tested the key $4,000 psychological level this week under intense selling pressure before catching a late Friday bid. Gary Wagner joins Jeremy Szafron, Senior Anchor of Kitco News, to break down the technical damage and explain why he sees a “60% to 70% probability” that gold has established a firm technical floor. Wagner outlines the critical resistance levels gold must break to save its broader bullish trend, noting that a return to record highs will be a “hard climb back up.” The analysis also covers silver’s resilience as it reclaims its 200-day moving average, outperforming gold during the recent drawdown. Plus, Wagner weighs in on how macro liquidity shifts – including the $75 billion SpaceX IPO and reports of a possible interim U.S.-Iran agreement around the Strait of Hormuz – are impacting the charts, and what the CME’s upcoming move to 24/7 trading for retail gold contracts means for technical weekend gaps.
