. Concerns about inflation, global tensions, and the potential for slower growth have prompted investors to seek safety. Furthermore, in a low-interest-rate environment, the allure of yield-less assets like gold rises, especially since other assets tied to interest rates (e.g., bonds) offer reduced real returns when inflationary concerns persist. Gold is also supported by central bank demand. Central banks around the world continue to accumulate gold to diversify away from fiat currencies, adding another layer of demand for the precious metal. The trade To express a bullish to neutral view on gold going into the Fed announcement, consider selling a SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) Nov 1 $237.5/232.5 Put Vertical @ $2.02 Credit. This entails: • Selling the Nov 1, 237.5 Put at $4.65. • Buying the Nov 1, 232.5 Put at $2.63. View this link in OptionsPlay with updated pricing: This put credit spread allows you to profit if gold (GLD) stays above $237.50 by expiration. The maximum potential reward is $202 per contract, with a maximum risk of $298, yielding a 67.8% return on risk. The breakeven point on this trade is $235.48, meaning you would only start to incur losses if GLD closes below that level. This trade offers a solid risk/reward profile for investors who are moderately bullish on gold but want to limit risk going into a potentially volatile event like the Fed meeting.
