Physically backed gold ETPs have continued their crawl higher and struck a new high during the week at 2613 tonnes. Although holdings eased less than a tonne on Friday, they completed the week with positive momentum, continuing their three month streak.
The latest CFTC data shows that tactical investors scaled back their exposure to Comex gold for the fourth straight week, taking net fund length to a new low since August. Net non-commercial positions fell on the back of long liquidation (-11k lots) which more than offset short covering activity (1k lot). Speculative positioning as a percentage of open interest has fallen to 36%, which is below the all-time high at 51% and lowest since August 2012.
Support: 1718, 1700 , Resistance: 1745, 1775 , Technical strategy: Medium term: bullish
