Yes there is no logic of this gold-currency hedge or gold-currency pair trade whatever you would like to call. Fundamentals of currency points to long on currency, may be due to recent comex gold and inr's inverse relation he may have tempted to short usdinr but you can see from the last 2 days inr is rangebound so this theory doesn't fits for long term(intraday may be possible).
Now coming to gold, some retailers and small speculator were short so we have seen pullback in gold(fact by reports) and now when the same retailers who are entering gold near 28000 level on physical gold will see the same fate, retailers ne 29-30 k levels pe bhi jam k buying ki thi gold ki
Conditions are that those who have taken loan from gold financing company on 30-32 levels are now giving hard time to these companies(paise chukane hain ki nahi chukane hain, remember home loan bubble in US)
.
Currency 50 aane ki agar expectations hain to we need some radical shift in our indian policy, abhi haalat ye hain ki posco, mittals and wallmart are exiting from our economy.
You surprised me again PT sir.
