Underlying Commodities Analysis

On May 04, 2023, the price of gold reached a record high of USD 2,070 before falling back to USD 2,050, which is still the highest it has been in 14 months. This increase in price was due to renewed turmoil in the US financial sector and expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain a dovish stance. Shares of regional US lenders declined after a few banks announced that they were in talks with investors and partners, fueling concerns about instability in the industry and leading investors to seek safer investments. Repeated threats to the stability of US banks have caused many investors to believe that the Federal Reserve will not be able to keep borrowing costs high for long. This has put pressure on the dollar and decreased the opportunity cost of holding non-interest-bearing assets like gold. Earlier this week, the central bank raised its funds rate by 25 basis points but did not indicate any plans to further tighten policy, leading many to believe that the central bank has reached the end of its 500-basis point tightening cycle.

Gold has been near its all-time high levels and with the current market scenarios gold is expected to break its all-time highs, leading BTG to realise higher prices for its commodities sales. Furthermore, with Q1FY23 results announcement on May 09, 2023, the company is also expected to realise higher revenue due to comparatively higher price for gold since the beginning of 2023.

How to Read the Charts?

The Green colour line reflects the 21-period simple moving average (SMA) while the red line indicates the 50- period simple moving average (SMA). SMA helps to identify existing price trends. If the prices are trading above the 21-period and 50-period moving average, then it shows prices are currently trading in a bullish trend.

The Black colour line in the chart’s lower segment reflects the Relative Strength Index (14-Period) which indicates price momentum and signals momentum in trend. A reading of 70 or above suggests overbought status while a reading of 30 or below suggests an oversold status.

The Blue colour bars in the chart’s lower segment show the volume of the stock. The volume is the number of shares that changed hands during a given day. Stocks with high volumes are more liquid than stocks with lesser volume as liquidity in stocks helps in easier and faster execution of the order.

The Orange colour lines are the trend lines drawn by connecting two or more price points and used for trend identification purposes. The trend line also acts as a line of support and resistance.
