Gold prices fell sharply after Biden appointed Powell to a second term. Converging cycles support a late November to early December low with a potential target of $1740.
Our inflation outlook supports an explosive rally starting in December with the possibility of a January breakout.
GOLD FUTURES DAILY: Biden kept Powell in charge of the Fed, and gold prices are correcting into a 4-month low (pink arrows). The shorter 36-day cycle (light blue) is also due around now. With gold prices already below $1800, it looks like prices may come down to test the lower triangle boundary near $1740. Given this scenario, I suspect gold will bottom between now and next Friday’s employment report.
Note: We had a similar dual-cycle in late November last year. Provided accelerating inflation data, I suspect gold will break upward from the triangle pattern in late December or early January 2022.
