Why and how do we use IG Client Sentiment in trading? See our guide and real-time data.
Spot Gold: Retail trader data shows 62.3% of traders are net-long with the ratio of traders long to short at 1.65 to 1. The number of traders net-long is 4.5% lower than yesterday and 12.7% higher from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 3.3% higher than yesterday and 4.0% 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. The combination of current sentiment and recent changes gives us a further mixed Spot Gold trading bias.
