The Federal Reserve decided to hike its policy rate by 50 basis points (bps) as expected. As a result, gold rallied. Nonetheless, economists at TD Securities do not expect the race higher in the the yellow melta to last long.
“The Fed largely met expectations, catalyzing a buy-everything rally given the pervasively poor sentiment across global markets amid well-telegraphed move. While Chair Powell took 75bp hikes out from consideration, the deck was stacked for this outcome from a positioning lens.”
“Price action is playing out according to our playbook, which also notes that there aren't many participants remaining with appetite to buy gold, with only a few participants short. The consensus trade is to the long side, with some complacent gold length still associated with the war in Ukraine.”
“The few remaining shorts hold a large position size and are likely to take profit as prices rise, fueling the ongoing rally in gold amid the buy-everything trade. However, we suspect that the rally won't last long in the yellow metal, considering that the breadth of traders short remains near its lowest levels on record.”
