One-month risk reversals (XAU1MRR), a gauge of calls to puts, fell to -0.475 in favor of puts, the lowest level since May 14.
The gauge traded at 0.625 in favor of calls on Sept. 21, having peaked at 2.125 on Aug. 7.
The decline indicates investors are adding bets (put options) to position for losses in the yellow metal.
