XAUUSD Gold Forecast: Dare to trade Gold this week?Would you dare to trade on Gold this week?
After months of speculations, Gala Night is almost here and we finally will be able to see if it’s a Horror Movie or Comedy for Gold investors.
The producer and the director of the movie are FED and the leading actor is Gold.
Gold trades in its narrowest range since 2012. Geopolitical uncertainty is providing critical support while the threat of rising interest rates weighs on prices.
Market players agree that interest rates are moving higher this week. Markets see a 25-basis-point hike as all but guaranteed. The question that has sidelined gold investors has been the number of interest-rate hikes for the rest of the year. Investors are anxious to see how hawkish the central bank will be.
And the general opinion is : “Inflation is running high enough that the Fed will not be dovish. It’s now a question of how hawkish they will be”
The tone of FED statement will be the leading factor in the direction of the Gold Prices.
Better to look at the bigger picture first.
Gold ended the week at 1313, testing support within its recent trading channel.
What the Daily Chart is telling us:
