Gold has been suffering the last few month due to a very hawkish Fed trying to get inflation under control. Gold topped out on march 8th 2022 & is down -17.6% since then. The US CPI YOY came in yesterday at +8.3% beating expectations of 8.1% , the CPI ex food & energy also beat expectations coming in at +6.3% vs a 6.1% consensus. This fueled a rally in the USD as the market expect a 0.75% bps rate hike or maybe even more, in return Gold an the commodity currencies fell. On the 4HR chart a bear flag has formed, you should wait on a break and close below the bear for possible selling opportunities towards $1622.99-$1600 per OZ a -4.6%- (-6%) move from market current position.
