XAUSD:


The precious metal has set a fresh high for the last twelve months. We are expecting a decline in the value of gold for two reasons. The first reason is the bullish trend in the stock markets. Investors sell's gold during periods of bullish trend in the stock markets. The second reason is the high value of the gold/oil ratio. This figure is at 21.85. The normal ratio is at around 17. Precious metal is expensive now. We are expecting a decline in gold prices by 1-2% this week. Gold is a hedge for investors in times of economic and political troubles. This factor will support gold in the psychological level of 1300.


Trading recommendation: Sell 1355 and take profit 1320.
