Previous Reports
Gold continues the dynamic rally which is been in play for just about a month, with today’s gains of $24.00 taking the precious yellow metal to $1424.10, a net increase of +1.71%. Although dollar weakness provided a tailwind to the rising precious metals prices, the effect of dollar weakness was marginal at best. We can see that both in the futures as well as the spot markets. August futures for example gained 1.71%, as the dollar index dropped by 0.23%, meaning that approximately 1.5% of the 1.71% gain today was directly attributed to buyers. Physical gold is currently fixed at $1420.30, which is a... Read more

If the majority of market analysts are correct, when they proclaimed that investors and traders have been factoring in a series of rate cuts by Federal Reserve, along with rate cuts by other global central banks, then why did gold rise by almost $45 today? Yesterday the Federal Reserve announced that it would keep fed funds rates where they are, but changed their language in reference to future actions. They took out the word “patient” to describe their willingness to be data dependent, as they added “uncertainty” to describe the current economic scenario that they are dealing with. Over the last...

I cannot think of many organizations or people that can convey a 180° pivot by the use of a single word, except for the Federal Reserve and its chairman, Jerome Powell. When we looked at the CME’s FedWatch tool yesterday it predicted less than a 20% probability that the Federal Reserve would announce and implement a rate cut today. In fact, that is exactly what happened. The statement made, as with all Fed statements spoken by Chairman Jerome Powell during the press conference crucial is the ability to read between the lines or understand the nuances of how a single word can indicate a distinct...
