Gold has tumbled to $1726, falling by around 12% in the last 3 months as the US dollar is trading at 20 year high. The biggest driver for gold prices is the US Dollar. U.S. consumer price index data, a key measure of inflation, is due today, and is expected to show prices rose by 8.8% in June from a year earlier. Gold was resilient because of inflation worries but now expectation is that inflation has topped out and will ease but recession fear is increasing which is paving way for inflows into safe haven currency like US dollar and outflows from all risky assets like gold. Many speculative longs have exited from the market and only long lean remains. Gold’s net length now stands at 17,034 contracts, down more than 52% from the previous week. Gold’s net length is at a three-year low which is also a sign of reversal in the short term. In MCX, 50000 levels are holding because of weak INR which is trading near all-time low but in the short term pressure on the downside will remain.

Gold prices are slowly pulling upwards amid high inflationary pressure, geopolitical tensions and global growth worries. The consolidation in gold may continue unless there are fresh triggers, however, gains in US dollar and continuing Fed’s tightening expectations may keep pressure on prices.
