COT Report: The State Of Commodities Into 2017

Gold

The cash finally closed above the 10-day moving average on Wednesday (first time since November 4), and followed up with a close above the 20-day in the very next session, but was not able to hang on to it.  Come Friday, resistance at $1,165-70 repelled a rally attempt.

Gold bugs nevertheless should be happy that the cash saw a first up week after seven straight down weeks.

Once bids begin to show up, this potentially at least puts a stop to the persistent outflows the SPDR Gold ETF (NYSEARCA:GLD), has experienced of late.  In the week ended Wednesday, the ETF only lost $43 million.  This was the seventh straight week of redemptions, during which $5.1 billion was withdrawn (courtesy of ETF.com).
