Physical Gold: Nature's currency
11 June close: For 3 weeks Gold has traded in a narrow range of just 60 dollars. And again as we approached the weekend, speculators were net sellers. Nothing thusfar, since the most recent advance that started in Q4 2018, is signalling an intermediate top of major proportion. Also in light of the highly volatile crypto currency and native token markets, gold feels as solid as ever and will remain at least 50% in what is still a very high risk multi asset amrket environment. Let's just say we've moved relatively early and losing some opportunity (mainly equity indices) in the process, whilst being well ahead of real inflation. We stay with a very full over weight precious metals holding until we hit the center of the storm. That storm will come, just don't know when. No Change.
04 June close: Metals again had a disappointing trading stint last week, but Gold at least managed to show a decent recovery from the early Friday low closing just 0.6% lower for the week. We observe both quarterly risk (chart below) and monthly risk again leading the gold uptrend. Of course attention is focussed on the major asset classes producing the best results which is still equities in terms of size and crypto in terms of media attention. Hourly Gold (check live chart) showed bullish divergence this week in all our tools creating fresh short term momentum. This technical picture gives confidence to our oprimary holding showing lower risk than any other asset class at the moment. No Change.
