Higher real rates and an upward-trending dollar spell trouble for Gold, with ETF outflows and shrinking longs in the futures market underlining weaker investor appetite

The metal has fallen below the 200-day average, with both the 100-day and 50-day moving averages trending lower. And given gold’s propensity to trend, this is NOT a positive for Gold.

This event is associated with gold gifting, and kicks of a wedding season in India that also features strong demand. Source: Bloomberg
