Gold Long At 1328.00
- Gold prices slipped on Wednesday to touch a one-week low, after suffering its biggest single-day loss in nearly a month in the previous session, on a firmer dollar.
- The safe haven asset slid nearly 1% on Tuesday, its biggest single session percentage loss since August 30, as investors viewed that Democrat Hillary Clinton had won the first U.S. presidential debate against Republican rival Donald Trump, boosting the appetite for riskier assets like equities. Markets have tended to see Clinton as the candidate of the status quo.
- For now, gold remains a broad 1,305-1,345 range, with strong support and resistance close to these respective levels. Our XAU/USD long-term outlook remains bullish.
PRECIOUS METALS:
It is usually reasonable to divide your portfolio into two parts: the core investment part and the satellite speculative part. The core part is the one you would want to make profit with in the long term thanks to the long-term trend in price changes. Such an approach is a clear investment as you are bound to keep your position opened for a considerable amount of time in order to realize the profit. The speculative part is quite the contrary. You would open a speculative position with short-term gains in your mind and with the awareness that even though potentially more profitable than investments, speculation is also way more risky. In typical circumstances investments should account for 60-90% of your portfolio, the rest being speculative positions. This way, you may enjoy a possibly higher rate of return than in the case of putting all of your money into investment positions and at the same time you may not have to be afraid of severe losses in the short-term.
