On Friday, the Supreme Court struck down all IEEPA-based tariffs. Gold surged. The dollar slipped from a one-month high. And nobody knows what happens next.
Alex Demolitor analyzes the movements in the stock, commodity, bond, and FX markets to determine the likely direction of the precious metals. Financial markets are interconnected, and what occurs in one market often cascades across others. Furthermore, gold’s fundamental value is often determined by the performance of the U.S. dollar and real interest rates, which makes it essential to monitor these crosscurrents.
Alex’s investment horizon ranges from one to three months, as the technicals dominate in the short term, while the fundamentals are more potent over the medium term. In addition, specific price levels are not considered. Instead, the goal is to position for events when the risk-reward is attractive. Therefore, as the fundamentals change, the risk-reward changes, and whether or not to enter or exit a position changes as well. So, it’s an evolutionary process that includes continuously analyzing new data.
