Good morning team,

After the wick down on the GBPUSD, I wanted to wait until post-FED announcement before positioning in the market.

Whilst the FED raised interest rates by 0.50%, they also stated that they were not looking at more aggressive rate hikes in the coming meetings. This has put a cap on the year-end target for interest rate hikes.

With this in mind, and inflation remaining high, it has created a bullish environment for GOLD. Especially considering the recent sell-off across metals. We see the recent decline as corrective and has possibly reached a bottom.
