A very good time to update the Gold chart after clearing inflation and FOMC yesterday. As widely mentioned in the latest macro update in the institutional room:

"Here tracking for a slight uptick in inflation [check] but nothing out of trend before the spotlight is turned onto forward guidance with Fed and 2020 dots. I expect the dots to tick down whilst leaving 2021 hikes on the table [check]."

Inflation making a return while risk markets remain less sanguine with protectionism, impeachment, election risk and late cycle fears refusing to abate.

It appears unlikely that the bar for risk-on will be met by the end of 2020, with Brexit and US elections entering into the picture it is certainly more conceivable that further upside could play out in a way that triggers momentum towards 1650 targets.

Thanks for keeping the support coming with likes and jumping into the comments with your questions and charts!
