Gold prices continue to fall as the US economy shows positive signs

Gold prices continued to fall below the threshold of 3,300 USD/ounce, although the US manufacturing industry is still in decline but there are more positive signs than expected.

Orders for durable goods fell 6.3% last month, after rising 7.5% in March (a revised figure), according to the Commerce Department. Still, the figure was better than economists' forecasts, which expected a decline of 7.6%.

The core durable goods sector, excluding the volatile transportation industry, edged up 0.2% in April, beating expectations for a 0.1% decline.

However, orders for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft fell 1.3%, compared with a 0.3% increase in March, while analysts expected only a 0.1% decline.

Experts say any report that the economy is not in a recession as severe as initially feared could reduce demand for safe-haven gold.

Currently, spot gold price is at 3,292.40 USD/ounce, down 1.46% on the day.

Overall, although some better-than-expected US economic indicators have put pressure on gold prices, the market remains cautious due to potential uncertainties. If the economy continues to show signs of recovery, gold may find it difficult to increase sharply in the near future.

Technically, June gold futures remain in a short-term uptrend. The next target for buyers is to push the closing price above the strong resistance at $3,400/ounce.

Meanwhile, sellers are aiming to push prices below the key support at the May low of $3,123.30 per ounce. The nearest resistance levels are $3,300 and $3,366.50, while near-term support is at $3,250 and $3,225.
