In the special part of the current edition of the Market Overview, which has been already released, we have analyzed who, among the five candidates, would be the best and the worst for the gold market as the next Fed Chair. In the rest of the report, we will focus on the “mystery of lacking inflation” and its implication for the gold market. We will also examine the potential effects of lowering the inflation target by the Fed or of adopting a more rule-based approach, in line with Taylor’s ideas. Last but not least, we will, as usual, provide investors with an update on recent fundamental drivers of the gold market, answering the question of how the medium-term outlook for the gold market has changed over the last month and what investors should expect in the last two months of the year. In particular, we will analyze whether the December curse is likely to happen, i.e. whether the gold will bottom in the last month of the year, as it did in both 2015 and 2016.
