Gold continues to rise after Chairman Powell's first testimony
Gold prices extended their upward momentum after Chairman Powell leaned toward the "dovish" side and reported a lower-than-expected JOLTS.
During the March 6 session, gold prices maintained their upward momentum, supported when Fed Chairman Powell leaned towards the "dovish" side in his first hearing. He believes that the Fed can completely cut interest rates this year and interest rates have peaked. The strongest increase occurred in the European session when gold rebounded from $2,125 and closed the session at $2,148. Precious metals were also supported by a weaker-than-expected JOLTS jobs report.
Today, the market will receive Chairman Powell's next testimony before the Senate, then on Friday will release the expected NFP data. Currently, gold is slightly down to $2,145.
It is expected that gold will continue to increase strongly to 2168 and then the 2188 area and if USD data continues to be too bad, there is a high possibility that gold will touch 2200, creating an all-time high.
