Gold Technical Analysis – Yet another all-time high

Fundamental
Overview

Yesterday, gold managed to
rally into a new all-time high despite some strong US data as Retail
Sales and Jobless
Claims beat expectations across the board.

In the bigger picture, gold
remains in a bullish trend as real yields will likely continue to fall amid the
Fed’s easing cycle. The pullbacks will likely be triggered by a repricing in
rate cuts but unless the Fed’s reaction function changes, the uptrend should
remain intact.

One key event which could
trigger a strong selloff in gold is the upcoming US election. In fact, a Trump
victory will likely raise real yields on higher growth and less rate cuts
expectations.
