CPM issues a short-term Sell recommendation on gold two days ago, on 20 January. Gold had risen to $1,866.50. Our view was there was a reduction in political and economic uncertainty with the change of U.S. governments, which would be reflected in less investor demand in the short run. Longer term the changes might prove bullish for gold, but not in the next few days. Accordingly, we suggested gold could drop quickly to $1,840, with the potential for prices to drop to $1,800 or $1,780 in the next few weeks. We also outlined the scope for a sharper decline.
Gold has dropped to $1,836.30 in New York morning trading today.
CPM is maintaining its Sell recommendation for all of the reasons outlined in our 20 January Trade Recommendation.
Note: Discretion should be allowed at +/- 0.20% of the price at the time each TR is issued from the target. Recommendations are valid until the target date or a new Trade Recommendation or message is issued by CPM.
