Gold Price Continues to Fall: why Prices are (Temporarily) Declining

In this presentation, Jeffrey Christian of the CPM Group discusses the recent volatility in the precious metals markets, particularly the sharp decline in the gold price from nearly $4,400 to just over $3,900. He explains the role of momentum traders who aggressively entered the market as buyers in October and have since begun to unwind positions, leading to the sharp short-term decline in the markets.

Jeff considers these price movements in the broader context of ongoing political and economic uncertainty, including the ongoing government shutdown in the US, expectations of interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve, and changing investor sentiment. He also discusses the similar volatility in silver, platinum, and palladium, pointing out how speculative and technical factors have overshadowed the fundamentals.
