To be honest, I don’t quite like the new platform. It seems the posting is not as stable.
Gold has been under many concerted effort let’s see how many lies can be covered before the Bubble bursts. First should be stocks.
My colleagues are of the view June USD and June Yen futures remain Buyer controlled, so the view is any price dips can be confidently bought. Conversely June Euro and Pound futures remain Seller controlled and so any rallies can be confidently sold.
To give some perspective to the importance of who heads the SNB following Jordan who was a strong advocate of currency management, in 2022 the SNB sold foreign currencies worth 22.3 bio CHF. In 2023 under Jordan’s strong CHF policy they sold 132.9 bio chf of foreign currencies (buying CHF). Any step back from the strong CHF policy should have a super size impact….
SNB HIGHLY unlikely to move on rates tomorrow. Meeting speculation centers around whether a successor to Jordan will be named tomorrow. Which is also probably unlikely but fwiw thats the talk…
Nice commentary from everyone in here today. My colleagues are of the view June Gold futures are Seller controlled and are selling rallies into the 2196-2225 range.
With BoJ making a move on rates I think it gave the market less concern over intervention, so Amman’s assessment earlier may be spot on as he usually is. I am just not touching longs in UsdJpy because anything overly aggressive to the upside could put the “I” word back in play. I’m in crosses only pre-Fed.
