My view on Gold
Based on Weekly and Daily Bias - Gold can start pushing up from these levels and I will be waiting for the right areas to long.
Bullish: Debt concerns support gold, since it’s seen as the antithesis of fiat currencies and government assets. Falling yields and a softer dollar also help.
Bearish: Hawkish Fed talk, such as St. Louis Fed President Musalem saying rates will need to rise again, plus a stronger dollar and higher yields.
Geopolitics: Hormuz tensions were reported to be raising Fed hike bets, which is bearish for gold in this setup despite its safe-haven status.
