Gold fell to $1955 after Fed Mintues
Fed Minutes at midnight on Thursday and Fed member's speech deliver a hawkish stance. This hawkish stance may be considering raising interest rates or tightening monetary policy with other tools this next half year to pressure the high inflation and cool down the inflation down to a target rate of 2%. This can lead to a stronger US dollar and higher yields on US Treasury bonds continuously, making gold less attractive as a store of value and investment option.
On Thursday European trading session, the gold failed to break out $1,985 and went down to continue its downtrend, testing the May 23 lowest price of $1,955. Suppose the gold price breakout $1955; the next target would be $1,948 and $1,944 (Red zone). However, the US dollar and the US Treasury yield could soften if the US GDP and PCE data are lower than expected on Friday, and gold price would rebound. Therefore, the resistance may target $1,969 and $1973 in the short run (Blue zone).
