This has been a positive week for gold finally breaking out of its consolidation above 930 to reach 953 this morning. The correlation with the dollar is returning as the move has been predicated by strength in the EUR. If that continues then gold should follow. In addition the backdrop of sovereign credit ratings continues to give reason for retail investors to stay in their gold whilst larger investment players have yet to follow on a meaningful scale.
Comex data released tonight should show further additions for the week ending last Tuesday and we are undoubtedly adding length again since then. Much of this is being driven by the improving technicals which may create its own momentum from CTA and model type accounts. Macro fund flows have been quite light although we are getting demand for higher strikes again over summer and end year.
The emotional tensions that exist in the gold market are always high and are driven from many different corners. The multi faceted nature of gold leads to extreme polarity and clashes of opinion from those on credit issues, currency valuations, defaltion/inflation, commodity correlations and Central Bank reserve management. These divergences make trading and investing in gold a hair pulling experience. Given the recent collapse in vols I prefer playing from a long bias via options. I still believe that gold has a big move ahead in H2 and next year. The asset class of gold is tiny in the universe of alternatives but I am sure it wont stay that way even though a unit of S&P 500 has lost 80% of its value in the last 10 years vs a unit of gold!!
Good Luck

Gold vols ticking higher as expected, with spot having finally broken away from the 925 congestion area. I still think short dates are cheap, as 950 just doesnt feel like a long term sustainable price. Its intersting to note too, that the back end of the curve isnt really taking off as much as it would have done a few months back, which just goes to show that the "fear factor" is still priced out, and the rally is more gamma driven than anything.
