Gold Seasonal - Monthly Performance and Average (10 Years)
Gold quickly fell from $1,407/oz to $1,395/oz at 0800 London time despite no data of note and little corresponding
movement in oil and stock markets. Profit taking and an increase in risk appetite may have contributed to the falls
after the U.K. parliament voted to reject military action against Syria and fears over oil supply disruptions in the
Middle East eased.
Oil prices are still heading for the largest monthly gain in a year, with Brent up more than 6% in August after unrest
cut output in Libya by around 1 million barrels per day and production fell in Iraq, Nigeria and elsewhere.
The U.S. seems likely to proceed with a strike against Syria even after U.K. lawmakers rejected action which should
support prices. The yellow metal reached $1,433.83/oz on August 28th, its highest since mid May on concerns that the
U.S. will go to war with Syria.
