Key Quotes
“In the absence of stimuli from the data front and ever decreasing activity among market participants in mid-summer, commodity prices are likely to move sideways.”
“The gold price has come under pressure recently due to increased risk appetite and hence rising equity prices – the S&P 500 has climbed from one all-time high to the next.”
“Moreover, the earlier price rise was highly speculatively driven, which now stands in the way of a further increase. A sharp fall in the gold price is unlikely given the numerous crises around the world.”
