US Consumer Confidence

U.S. consumer confidence fell more than expected in January, dampening optimism over the outlook for the consumption-driven economy, industry data showed on Tuesday. In a report, the Conference Board, a market research group, said its index of consumer confidence fell to 111.8 this month from a reading of 113.3 (revised from an initial 113.7) in December which had been its highest level since August 2011. Analysts had expected the index to decrease to 113.0 in January. The Present Situation Index increased from 123.5 to 129.7, but the Expectations Index decreased from 106.4 last month to 99.8.

Trade Idea

Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, buying the precious metal around current levels appears to be a good strategy.
