At the opening of the commodity market, gold has been under a major attack.
In 2015, I told you about a violent downward opening ($1050 per ounce) and then confirmed the increase to come when the price was still at $1300.
What happened this morning very strongly looks like a “cleaning” of stop losses and “weak hands”.
Another positive argument that militates for gold (and incidentally silver) is that real rates are diving:
Money savers are super stuck between negative return on their accounts and inflation coming out of the woods.
I found some very interesting comments from specialists such as:
Classic Sunday nite attack(low liquidity period) by massively levered futures traders. Pure manipulation meant to try to stampede real physical gold owners. These futures traders don't own any physical gold - just paper. I won't be a victim of their attempts to drive prices lower https://t.co/FAxXVu7pQo

India has already accumulated 36 tonnes since the beginning of the year:
In summary, I think it’s a good signal for bullish people on gold.
