Kitco, Tues. May 19th,2020) – Gold and silver prices are trading higher in midday action Tuesday. Some earlier, normal chart consolidation and pausing after recent good gains saw buyers step right back in amid strongly bullish technical postures for both metals. June gold futures were last up $9.40 an ounce at $1,743.80. July Comex silver prices were last up $0.417 at $17.885 an ounce.
Global stock markets were mostly firmer in overnight trading. U.S. stock indexes are mixed in midday trading, on a pause after the stock indexes rallied sharply Monday on positive early results for a Covid-19 vaccine. Many in the marketplace are speculating it’s going to take a proven vaccine to bring the global economy completely back to life and get humans back to mostly normal day-to-day matters. Still, early this week finds trader and investor risk appetite more robust, also due in part to a sharp rally in crude oil prices recently.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin appeared via videoconference before the Senate Banking Committee today, discussing the U.S. emergency lending programs Congress is implementing amid the U.S. economic crisis. Both officials delivered upbeat messages and said there is more the government can do for the economy, should the need arise.
The important outside markets see Nymex crude oil futures near steady today and hitting a two-month high overnight, presently trading around $31.75 a barrel in the June contract, which expires today.

The yield on the benchmark U.S. Treasury 10-year note is currently around 0.7%.
