Gold reclaimed $5,000 per ounce early this morning, as traders stepped in to buy the dip following the recent selloff. Much of the damage caused by last Friday’s crash has now been undone and the precious metal once again has some measure of positive momentum. Gold rose over 6% during yesterday’s session and appeared hungry for more as the Asian session got underway earlier today. Dip buyers are also stepping in to defend silver, dragging the white metal back above $85 per ounce by Tuesday’s close and pushing prices up to $88 this morning. While the rebound is encouraging, last week’s collapse in prices means that silver has a long way to go before being able to reclaim its record high of $121.
A partial US government shutdown came to an end late last night after President Trump signed a funding bill into law. The short-lived shutdown lacked any of the urgency of last year’s drama, which lasted well over a month, but unfortunately the administrative pressure was not without consequences. Because of the government closure, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has announced that it will not release the latest non-farm payrolls on Friday, delaying the publication until public operations resume.
Microsoft (MSFT) shares closed in the red for the fourth consecutive session yesterday, meaning the stock is now down 14% from this time last week. The company’s latest earnings report did not make for bad reading by any means, but investors are beginning to ask questions about where the huge capital expenditures are going. Another problem lies within the software-as-a-service model itself, as people increasingly turn to AI software development instead. Why pay monthly or yearly subscription fees when developers can use AI tools to build their infrastructure internally? Several software companies have been struggling recently, including Salesforce (CRM), which sank 7% yesterday, pushing the stock to a fresh multi-year low. For now, investors are more impressed with chips and artificial intelligence, shunning the traditional software giants.
