“Gold tends to outperform when economic data is weakening and underperforms when economic prospects improve. Economic data expectations are often adaptive, falling sharply following a negative shock such as COVID shutdowns and the accompanying weak data. Conversely, when data reflects higher, the consensus tends to extend the developing positive trend higher, often overestimating future activity,” he added.
