StoneX Group CEO Philip Smith discussed significant gold market dynamics on Sky News Arabia, highlighting a major pricing disconnect between New York futures and London OTC physical markets, ranging from $25-30 per ounce, down from December's $60 high. Smith revealed an unprecedented physical gold movement into the US, estimating over 2,000 tons in the past 7-8 weeks.
The CEO attributed market disruptions to uncertainty over Trump's tariff policies, which are creating a "disproportionate and distorting effect on gold prices." StoneX's UK Market Analyst, Fawad Razaqzada, suggested that Trump's aggressive fiscal policies and protectionist stance could delay Federal Reserve rate cuts, potentially supporting bond yields and creating headwinds for gold.
