USA's Labor Ministry has recently reported a 6.2% hike in CPI inflation. Already analysts were quite concerned about inflation for a very long time. Now asset investors and traders are inclined towards gold and silver. Both of these metals are bullish in the markets.

Gold has been considered as a hedge against inflation. Analyst Jim Wyckoff told Kitco, "A five-week-old uptrend is in place on the daily bar chart. Bulls' next upside price objective is to produce a close above solid resistance at $1,900.00. Bears' next near-term downside price objective is pushing futures prices below solid technical support at $1,800.00. First resistance is seen at this week's high of $1,870.60 and then at $1,875.00. First support is seen at $1,850.00 and then at the overnight low of $1.845.10."
