$XAUT Gold gains over 10% as August as bulls shift to exotic options
Gold bulls remain active, shifting from costly outright calls to call spreads and exotic options_ betting on ranges or conditional triggers at lower cost.
This signals ongoing demand for hard assets and currency-debasement trades, while lower implied volatility and call skew than in Q1 show less faith in a straight-line rally.
Near term, watch how U.S. Treasury purchases, the dollar and rate expectations reshape option pricing.
Medium term, ETF demand and gold's ability to attract cross-asset flows amid calmer volatility are key.
Gold demand may support tokenized gold interest and rate-hike expectations could cap near term gold sentiment.
