Precious metals hold gains across the complex – TDS
Precious metals have held gains despite the uncertainty surrounding Federal Reserve (Fed) policy. Top traders on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) continue to hold large positions in Gold (XAU/USD) and Silver (XAG/USD), while inflows continue into Chinese Gold ETFs, TDS strategists say.
Gold turns lower, Palladium faces short covering
“Macro investors have remained underpositioned in the Yellow Metal relative to a typical cutting cycle and macro traders seem to be happy waiting on the sidelines until there is more certainty on the timing of the coming Fed cuts. Ater a brief period of slight gains in Gold ETF holdings, the trend has started to ease lower once again.”
“Elsewhere, a bout of tightness and concern on sanction risk has sparked some likely short covering from the bloated money manager shorts in Palladium. Today's price action though is making short covering from this cohort more likely, with a handful of key triggers within the $968/oz - $973/oz range.”
