According to media reports, "Many experts in the space are warning investors of a possible sell-off in US equities, and it just might be what gold needs this fall." Gold has now dropped below the psychological high level of $1800/oz. But the gold investors are relying on the metal expecting a gold price hike, in absence of the US Fed tapering. "Gold has simply been a correlation trade to interest rates and FX trends; it's a casualty to the USD/rates' path of least resistance in both being higher into a Fed taper", commented Nicky Shiels, MKS PAMP GROUP head of metals strategy.

Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone stated, "Just some reversion in the steepest gold discount to the S&P 500 since 2005 may indicate a spark to break the metal out of its bull-market cage. The gold-to-S&P 500 ratio has dipped below the extreme from about three years ago that broke gold away from the gravity pull around $1,270 an ounce toward its record high of about $2,075 in 2020. About $1,800 is the lock-in price since July 2020. When equities eventually revert a bit, gold stands to be a primary beneficiary, as we see it." This week too, gold rates are not expected to hike significantly, the present market trend indicates.
