Gold Price Forecast: The door is open for some tactical downside in XAU/USD – TDS
|Precious metals prices have remained resilient after more than a month since the war in the Middle East. Economists at TD Securities analyze commodities outlook.
Macro headwinds may increasingly work against bears in Gold
More than a month has passed since the war in the Middle East catalyzed a massive short squeeze in precious metals markets. Crude Oil markets have melted, erasing the risk premium associated with the war, and yet precious metals prices have remained resilient (it was a bear trap!) in defiance of the traditional playbook pointing to a fading risk premium. Finally, it is time to come to the dark side.
