This is the sentiment of the news field around gold (XAU) — which way what is
currently published pulls, and how strongly, on a scale from −1 to +1. It is not price and not a
price forecast. Zero means forces pull in opposite directions and are roughly equal; the further
from zero, the more one-sided the coverage.
Why the reading is where it is
