Today's Gold Price Update: A Continued Downtrend
Updated
Gold prices today continue to face downward pressure, currently trading around $2314, losing 0.45% for the day with a drop of over 100 pips during the early Asian trading session.
Despite a strong rally last night that pushed gold close to $2350, the precious metal couldn't maintain its recovery. This was despite the U.S. Dollar weakening after the U.S. released its economic data.
The USD took a hit after the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May showed a faster cooling than economists had anticipated. The CPI remained flat after a 0.3% increase in April, while the forecast was only for a 0.1% rise.
Gold Price Forecast:
News Perspective: The Federal Reserve is expected to implement two rate cuts this year, with an 80% chance that the first cut will happen in September. This scenario typically leads to a weaker USD, which could benefit gold prices.
Psychological and Technical Perspective: From a technical standpoint, gold remains in a downward channel. In the short to medium term, the market sentiment still favors selling gold. The EMA and trendline indicators continue to support the bearish outlook for gold.
Key Points:
Current Price: $2314, down 0.45% for the day.
Support and Resistance: Unable to sustain gains around $2350.
Economic Data Impact: USD weakened after lower-than-expected CPI data.
Fed Rate Cuts: Expected to cut rates twice this year, with the first likely in September.
Technical Indicators: EMA and trendline favor continued bearish movement.
Stay tuned and watch for how these factors play out in the coming days. What’s your take on the current gold trend?
