Gold decoupling from stocks is a positive sign

24 thg 3, 2023

On Monday, gold broke above $2 000, making a new high at $2 009.85. Unfortunately, gold erased its gains the next day and plunged as low as $1 934.34. Although this drop did not last long either, and after the FOMC, gold skyrocketed back above $2 000. Currently, it trades near the $1 990 price tag. In the long term, we continue to be bullish on XAUUSD. However, we expect it to remain highly erratic as investors might cash out their profits in order to cover their losses in the stock market (once the selloff speeds up). Therefore, we will closely monitor gold’s price action in the following days; seeing gold decoupling from the stock market will be a positive sign.
