Gold - The market's weakness weighs on gold

In our last idea, we outlaid how we grew increasingly bearish on gold in the short term while maintaining a bullish stance in the long term. We stated that our short-term view was influenced mainly by fundamental factors, which will continue to weigh on the global economy and lead to further weakness in the stock market. Furthermore, we also said that gold would likely drop toward the 1600 USD price tag in such a scenario.

Since then, gold has dropped to the vicinity of 1650 USD and confirmed our bearish worries. Because of that, we still stick to the bearish short-term narrative. Accordingly, we will pay close attention to the FED meeting, which will likely impact the price of gold and the stock market. We will update our thoughts before the meeting.
