Gold and Real Rates

The signal strength for gold has weakened due to a shift in the real rates environment. Real rates have increased significantly, causing a drag on gold prices. As a result, exposure to gold has been reduced and the position size has been minimized. While gold remains in a bullish trend, it has lost trade momentum. It is important to monitor the real rates environment as it continues to impact the performance of gold.
