In our new Gold Weekly Snapshot:
Gold has been affected by several factors this week, prompting traders to reprice their rate-cut expectations, while offsetting the geopolitical risk premium from the middle East. Here is what we’re bringing you in our latest gold weekly snapshot report:
- Comex Gold ended the week at a 5-week low, down 1.1% at $2,029.3 per ounce. This change is following better than expected data (retail sales, housing permits and jobless claims) and hawkish FED speakers, pushing the U.S dollar and yields higher.
- Week to-Week Open Interest decreased by 31,260 to 466,479 lots (46.6 m ounces).
- COT report covering the week to Jan 16 shows speculators (funds) trimmed their bullish bets. It happens for a second consecutive week by 5,230 lots ($1.05B in notional) to 83,239 contracts.
- $2,050 is our current max upside target (highest gamma level) for the Feb’24 contract. A quick push below 2,000 might be expected before the expiration date (25 Jan).
- We can see short term weakness in the lead contract. Traders have been building up long positions on April, June contracts. (view page 3 of the report)
