Comment:
We saw last week second largest gold upper wick (denoting intraday reversal) on record. What is remarkable is that this recovery came amid an unmistakably severe geopolitical threat in the ever-escalating Russian offensive against Ukraine. The unprompted war has certainly not been resolved; but even if it were to de-escalate to a tangible conclusion, would it truly offer a favorable backdrop for bullish market interests? Gold prices will continue to be highly sensitive to Russia-Ukraine headlines, dwarfing the usual importance that the economic calendar has in the coming days. That said, two central bank decisions and the latest US labor market report will draw financial markets’ attention, if only temporarily.
