According to The Kobeissi Letter, gold prices have surged for the second consecutive day, increasing by another 1.5% and approaching $3,400 per ounce (source: The Kobeissi Letter, May 6, 2025). This momentum signals strong bullish sentiment in the precious metals market, attracting traders seeking safe-haven assets during market volatility. Technical indicators now show overbought conditions, suggesting potential short-term resistance near the $3,400 level. Traders are closely monitoring volume and macroeconomic drivers, as further moves above $3,400 could trigger breakout trading strategies or profit-taking (source: The Kobeissi Letter).

According to @KobeissiLetter citing @TaviCosta, central bank gold purchases remain historically strong, with gold holdings as a percentage of global reserves reaching approximately 18%, the highest level in 26 years. Simultaneously, foreign holdings of US Treasuries have fallen to about 23% of total US government debt, the lowest in 22 years. These shifts indicate a significant move away from US Treasuries toward gold as a reserve asset, suggesting potential volatility in the bond market and increased demand for gold. Traders should monitor treasury yields and gold prices closely, as these macro trends may drive further capital flows into precious metals and away from US debt instruments (source: @KobeissiLetter, @TaviCosta).

According to The Kobeissi Letter, as the Nasdaq 100 drops over -2%, gold prices have surged by +$100/oz. Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index ($DXY) has fallen below 100 for the first time since September 2024. This volatility suggests that if equities revisit their lows, gold could potentially rise well above $3,500/oz. Such movements are crucial for traders analyzing precious metals and currency markets, highlighting a potential shift in asset allocation preferences.
