Important News and Triggers
International News – Given inflation remains rampant and the Fed aren’t as aggressive as some pre-emptive bulls had hoped, some will see gold as an inflation
hedge once again. Todays focus is on US Nonfarm payroll data and unemployment rate, which is set tone for gold markets next week.
Demand & Supply – Large speculators had been trimming longs and increasing short exposure to gold futures these past weeks. And now is likely a time they’ll
look to reverse those positions.
Economic Data – The Federal Reserve increased interest rates by 50-basis points as expected. The current level of Fed Funds rates is now 75-100 basis points.
The Fed will begin to reduce its balance sheet on June 1. The rate move is the largest since 2000 and is in response to burgeoning inflation pressures.
