XAUUSD:
We are expecting the bearish trend in the precious metals market to continue. The Federal Reserve announced the start of the quantitative easing program on October 15. This is a positive signal for stock markets and a negative signal for precious metals. The U.S. Central Bank plans to buy short-term government bonds in the amount of 60 billion dollars a month. This is a negative signal for all “low-yielding” assets, which include gold, the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc. Investors will be selling “low-yielding” assets this week!
Trading recommendation: Sell 1491 and take profit 1468.
