XAU/USD - Fundamentals and Data

37
XAU/USD:
Macro Drivers:
Real Yields slightly positive → historically bearish, but offset by liquidity and geopolitics.
Fed Dovish Tilt → market pricing cuts = bullish.
Central Bank Demand (China, Russia) remains robust = structural bid.

Liquidity Layer:
Fed Net Liquidity ↑ → Bullish XAU.
RRP down = cash entering markets → supports gold and equities.
TGA stable → no drain on liquidity short-term.

Volatility Layer:
VIX at -0.9 inversion → Complacency = gold call hedge demand rises.
MOVE Index off highs → less bond volatility = supportive.

Technical & Flow Factors:
Dealer Gamma positioning near neutral = potential for large range move.
CTA models still long XAU; no crowding signal yet.
COT Data: modest speculative longs = room for extension.

Geopolitical Premium:
Mid-East tensions, Ukraine, Taiwan = soft risk-off flows into gold.
DXY strength capping upside, but not reversing trend.XAU/USD:

Fixed Income Market Overview:

Yield Curve Structure & Implications:
2s10s Spread: Deeply inverted — classic signal of recession risk in 6–12 months.
10Y UST Yield: Hovering around 4.4–4.5%, pricing in sticky inflation, resilient growth.
30Y Yield: Flattening vs. 10Y = market doubts long-term growth, aligns with XAU/USD strength.

Currently 5y is capping XAUUSD

CTA & Systematic Flow Impact:
Trend-followers are long bonds → but positioning crowded.
Breakdown in yields = volatility spike risk for equity and FX markets.
FRA-OIS spreads stable → no interbank funding panic

Bonds against Equities Risk Premium:
Equity Risk Premium (ERP) < historical average → equities expensive vs. bonds.
Earnings Yield (S&P500) ~4.2% vs. 10Y ~4.4% = negative equity risk premium.
Historically unsustainable → signals either a bond rally or equity pullback.

So my opinion for possibilities:

Long the Dip of XAUUSD
