Do not buy Gold and Silver here [Video]

Gregor Horvat Wavetraders

The Dollar has been in a very strong recovery this month, and we’ve seen even more strength after the ECB decided to cut rates by another 50 basis points. As a result, more investors are looking to short the Euro and favor the US Dollar due the DE-US yield differential. Despite the Dollar’s strength, stocks are holding up quite well, and metals are also showing a strong recovery, with gold trading above $2,700 and silver breaking to new yearly highs, reaching levels around $34.

The key question is, when normal correlations might return or what could happen with the Dollar moving forward. For me, the Dollar has a very strong bullish direction at the moment, so even if we see some retracement lower, I expect more upside, to around 105. In the meantime, there could be opportunities to look for shorts on some major XXX/USD pairs. I may be looking for shorts on EUR/USD rallies and even the AUD/USD, which seems to be turning lower after Chinese shares pulled-back last week.

Despite bullish dollar, gold and silver are looking strong, but we may run into some “mania” phase on metals. Expect the unpexected; be aware of reversals on metals. Dont buy here.
