Spot Gold: Retail trader data shows 80.9% of traders are net-long with the ratio of traders long to short at 4.23 to 1. The number of traders net-long is 4.3% lower than yesterday and 18.3% higher from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 1.3% higher than yesterday and 38.7% lower from last week.
We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-long suggests Spot Gold prices may continue to fall. Positioning is less net-long than yesterday but more net-long from last week. We nonetheless view that the broader shift towards Gold buying gives clear contrarian signal that Gold Prices may continue lower.
