Model Gold Portfolio: 3/5 neutral, previous signal= Short, 2/26
Technical Read: GLD closed down, right on the 115 line today. This is a little short of my 114.5 forecast, but still squarely at the low end of the recent two-week trading range. Nonlinear trading analysis readings have flat-lined. This signals limited downside ahead and thus the model portfolio is now neutral. Remember exting a short is not the same thing as taking a bullish position. It is too early to go long on gold.
Backdrop:
- Catalyst 1 – The S&P 500 sold off from March 2nd highs, but not terribly so. A tidbit of global news received considerable airplay today: Chinese premier, Li Keqiang advised the county’s GDP target is “around 7 percent.” This has been universally interpreted to mean weaker-than-seven (global deflation headwinds?). Nonlinear readings on largecaps have turned neutral as well. This, in turn is neutral for gold.
