Gold’s Recent Volatility: A Correction After A Stellar Rally

Gold's Recent Volatility

The spot price of gold has experienced significant volatility in the past few weeks, moving sharply away from its recent multi-year or even all-time high. This movement is being widely viewed by analysts not as a bubble bursting, but as a necessary and overdue corrective phase following an explosive rally. The initial ascent that pushed the yellow metal to its peak was primarily fueled by a potent mix of global risk factors, including escalating geopolitical tensions, mounting economic uncertainties, and a prolonged trend of significant gold accumulation by central banks. This period of rapid gains naturally led to overbought conditions and set the stage for a period of profit-taking by short-term investors. (more…)

Gold Price Drop – buying opportunity?

Gold Price Drop

Here’s a breakdown of how I see the recent drop in gold prices — whether it looks like a pullback, a rout, or a buying opportunity — along with what the market consensus appears to be.

Gold Price Drop - buying opportunity? Gold Gold Bars - Standard Restoration Act,

What’s happening

  • Gold recently peaked above US $4,300/oz before dropping ~2 % (or more) in a short span, after hitting a record high.

  • The drop is attributed to a combination of:

    • A firmer U.S. dollar (makes gold more expensive in other currencies)

    • Some easing in safe-haven demand (for instance, comments from U.S. leadership around trade with China)

    • The fact that gold is now “overbought” in many analysts’ views, suggesting a technical correction might be underway.
