Gold Overheats, Lets off Some Steam at the Start of the Week
This week has started in a similar fashion to how we closed out last week, with a pick up in risk appetite as the tit-for-tat exchanges between Israel and Iran appears to have come to an end.
Numerous markets breathe a sigh of relief, such as: gold, silver, AUD and US equities. The Aussie dollar often moves in line with risk assets and revealed a partial recovery since Friday afternoon, extending into today. For a more in-depth analysis, read the full AUD report .
Until Friday, gold rode the bullish momentum higher, spurred on by additional safe haven appeal. That same appeal appears to have subsided at the start of this week, with the precious metal on track for the largest single day decline since the 9th of March 2022.
Implied gold volatility has also turned notably lower as markets reduce the likelihood of a broader conflict in the Middle East.
