I have to admit I am taken aback with how effective the Federal Reserve has tamed US Dollar demand. The DXY is trading back under 100 as treasuries also recover their initial fearful sell-off.
The only saving grace for the bearish perspective is that the 52-week high has not been taken out. An immediate correction to the 1450.9 level at a similar pace to that of the recent rally would perhaps give the gold bear more confidence. But it is clear there is demand for gold at that level.
