GOLD: TD Securities Initiate Tactical Short in Gold

GOLD

TD Securities initiate a tactical short in gold at $2533, targeting $2300 with a stop-loss at $2675

  • TDS note that macro funds have scarcely held more gold than they do today, with their estimates now at levels that marked local highs in 2019 and 2016. CTAs are also effectively 'max long' and Chinese ETF outflows have resumed.
