Gold outlook may rise as retail traders turn bearish
Updated
Recently, gold prices have been pushed higher due to the cautious weakness of the US Treasury yields and the US dollar. Retail traders have increased their risk levels for these precious metals in response. This can be seen through the IG Client Sentiment (IGCS), which acts as a contrary indicator.
The IGCS measure shows that around 66% of retail traders are net long on gold, indicating a possible future price decrease. The exposure to weakness has increased by 6.29% and 14.69% compared to yesterday and last week, respectively. With these recent changes in risk levels, it suggests that the price may reverse higher despite the overall positioning.
