A Coronavirus Black Swan Event Could Spark Gold Rally
In the capital markets, the term “black swan” is not to be taken lightly, unless you're a bullish gold trader--then it's time to get heavy on precious metals. The coronavirus is putting a mixed martial arts-like stranglehold on the markets and if it turns into a black swan event in China or other parts of the world, it could spark a gold rally. “For gold really to move, it would be some kind of exogenous shock, which might push it higher,” Rhona O’Connell, INTL FCStone head of market analysis for EMEA and Asia Regions, told Kitco News.

Central Bank Policies Should Continue to Support Gold Prices
The Federal Reserve decided to keep rates unchanged on Wednesday and this could be gold’s main driver going forward if the data-dependent central bank deems the economy healthy enough.

Coronavirus Outbreak Allows Gold Prices to Break Out
Thanks to as much as a 500-point drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average in Monday’s trading session, it was risk-off for investors as they piled into safe havens like bonds and gold. Gold was on a path of bearishness after a U.S.-China “phase one” trade deal put the risk back into the markets. “After almost three weeks of consolidation, gold has now pushed higher on risk-aversion as the Coronavirus position worsens and the markets move away from risk,” said Rhona O’Connell, head of market analysis for EMEA & Asia at INTL FCStone, in a daily note.

Strategist: This is the Reason Why You Shouldn’t Sell Gold
Hold the gold—it's a simple strategy in an uncertain market that could turn any day by various risk-based factors, but Longview Economics CEO Chris Watling suggests another reason that could help support gold prices is the Federal Reserve's repo program. The central bank uses the program to adjust the supply of reserve balances to keep its interest rate target in check. “It is putting a lot of liquidity, a lot of dollar money, into the system, and that is supporting the price,” Waitling said in a CNBC report.

Buy on the Dip Prospects: December 4 Edition
Below is a look at ETFs that currently offer attractive buying opportunities. The ETFs included in this list are rated as buy candidates for two reasons. First, each of these funds is deemed to be in an uptrend based on the fact that its 50-day moving average is above its 200-day moving average, which are popular indicators for gauging long-term and medium-term trends, respectively. Second, each of these ETFs is also trading below its five-day moving average, thereby offering a near-term 'buy on the dip' opportunity, given the longer-term uptrend at hand. Note that this prospects list also features a liquidity screen by excluding ETFs with average trading volumes below the one million shares mark. As always, investors of all experience levels are advised to use stop-loss orders and practice disciplined profit-taking techniques.
