Tom Sosnoff's outlook on gold

In the upcoming week, financial analyses will focus on industrial production in the eurozone, US retail sales, China’s Q1 GDP, and other pivotal data, with attention on the effects of recent US inflation numbers on Federal Reserve rate cut expectations. Tom Sosnoff, CEO of tastylive, anticipates increased market volatility, suggesting a 25-30% rise in expected moves, particularly highlighted by significant activity in the bond market due to lower prices (higher rates) and remarkable movements in gold and silver markets. Despite these shifts, Sosnoff downplays the impact of algorithmic trading on market dynamics, attributing more influence to market trends.
