Jp thank you. Don’t recall if I posted this Thursday night from my colleagues: … “the Gold Option Profile has inverted to sell side for the first time since the Feb 14 low; selling June Gold futures above 2400 to test the market.”
GVI 08:17 / the week-end is still young.
Did you bag the $100 bux on short Gold ?

curtesy cnn this sat 13th morning:
– Revolutionary Guards seized the vessel near the Strait of Hormuz, state media reported
– US expects Iran to carry out direct attack on Israel, sources say, as Biden warns ‘don’t’
– What an Iranian attack on Israel would mean for the US, according to retired general (hahaha)
This is the second Friday that gold traders have seen a bloodbath, the last time trying to pick a top and this time sseeing a 4% drop after setting another record high.
The price action is not fatal to this relentless bull run, dependent on 2318 holding as support to keep the retreat from turning into a full-scale retracement.
What has changed is that moves up in XAUUSD will nort run into stops unless a new high is made.

one would have to be somehow handicapped not to see the DLR romping and rampaging accorss the boad (except maybe vs the yen)
as players are likely gaming a few energy vectors:
– goodly yield spread
— eyeballing and anxiously re-pricing FED gang miscalutations about inflation bumps
— GOLD continues to look uP (i.e. good) as is energy in form of oil
some thanks has to go to wild media headlines about harsh diplomacy between Israel and Iran for at least some portion of players running into dlrs thinking “haven”.

earlier this morn collins prognosticateg that she sees no urgency to cut rates (and eyeballs two cuts in 2024)
My colleagues believe Yen June futures are forming a tradeable low under .6600; June Euro futures remain seller controlled for now. Also, Option Profile still suggests June Gold futures are no longer bullish above 2350.
So what does that matter with currencies you ask? I asked so many times we lost count. Australian Dollar tends to move with Gold and Canadian Dollar tends to react with Oil. But it is not a perfect correlation. There is only one true correlation. Elevate your sense of markets. For example, when I was a CTA I would pull up Reuters front page first thing just to gauge the MOOD out there. Some people call that juvenile, but guess what, they apologize to you years later. Ultimately you have to make decisions. And everyone is on the hook. I found if you are not having fun, you are missing some things. When it gets fun, you are making money, but do not get arrogant. Always accept input. It is your choice of who or what to listen to. Don’t let the animated shock jockies touting 100000000000000 % gains fool you. I worked with some of them. Half ended up in handcuffs in major banks. Your trading has to be pure. You have to know you can. You have to feel you can. And you have to do it right. Then it gets good.
some still harping the fed int rate cut theme

“(Bloomberg) — Economists at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are forecasting two Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts this year instead of three…”
Ok miscalculated by a hair, lets see what it does, I’m spread elsewhere so no big deal, if it holds we are gold, if not, hedged elsewhere and cut and run
