Sell on the Pop Prospects: April 29 Edition
Here is a look at ETFs that currently offer attractive short selling opportunities. The ETFs included in this list are rated as sell candidates for two reasons. First, each of these funds is deemed to be in a downtrend based on the fact that its 50-day moving average is below 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 above its 20-day moving average, thereby offering a near-term “sell on the pop” opportunity given the longer-term downtrend at hand. Note that this prospect 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.

Gold Hits 7-Year High Amid Ongoing Coronavirus Concerns

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.

Gold Prices Remain Muted as Investors Eye Fed, Coronavirus
Gold prices have been relatively muted as investors are reading into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s neutral tone on the economy and the remaining wild card in the markets known as the coronavirus. Gold prices are slowly facing downward pressure as a risk-on sentiment creeps back into the markets following lesser cases of the coronavirus occurring. Tuesday is the first day of Powell’s testimony before Congress.

Gold Prices Edge Higher as China Struggles Amid Coronavirus Outbreak
While the U.S. markets seem to push the coronavirus outbreak from the forefront of their worries, China continues to struggle with its effects as more cases of the virus surface and claim more lives. This is pushing precious metal prices like gold steadily higher. Asian and European shares were higher overnight as traders and investors at least for now have pushed aside the coronavirus outbreak in China.

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. This could support gold prices even if the market experiences a lull in precious metal purchases after the coronavirus craze eventually fades. Amid the outbreak, it was risk-off for investors as they piled into safe havens like bonds and gold.

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.

Coronavirus Concerns Tamp Down Gains for Gold
Bond prices went higher, inversely causing yields to fall, but the safe-haven scramble couldn’t make its way to gains for gold as concerns regarding the coronavirus in China made its way into the capital markets. The gold market reacted negatively as China is a major purchaser of the precious metal. “This unfavourable development could not come at a more critical time with many people expected to travel within China before the Lunar New Year,” wrote Lukman Otunuga, senior research analyst at FXTM, in a daily research note.

Gold, Silver Traders Brace Themselves for a Rollercoaster Ride
The U.S.-China “phase one” trade deal that is set to be signed today is injecting a healthy dose of optimism into the markets, which is keeping gold and silver prices at bay. After hitting highs the previous week, this week could see a rollercoaster-like drop as precious metals traders brace themselves for the wild ride. “Gold and silver appear to be headed lower, and there doesn’t appear to be anything that will slow the metals from another trend reversal,” wrote Todd “Bubba” Horwitz in Kitco News.

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.

Can Gold Traders Fend Off a Wave of Bearish Selling?
Escalating U.S.-Iran tensions after an air strike that killed an Iranian general last week fed into strength for gold prices to start the trading week. On Tuesday, gold rallied to a 6 ½-year high, but fell the following Wednesday after U.S. President Donald Trump eased the markets following a retaliation from Iran that caused no damage or casualties on U.S. airbases. “Gold is down sharply as U.S-Iran tensions have been deescalated,” wrote Bill Baruch in Kitco News.
