Gold Prices Climb Above $2,420 as Traders Brace for Key Fed Rate Decision
Anticipation for Fed Guidance Boosts Gold Prices
Gold prices (XAUUSD) surged for the second consecutive day, surpassing $2,420, up more than $40 from yesterday’s opening level of $2,377 per ounce. This rise comes as traders prepare for the Federal Reserve's key interest rate decision, expected to maintain the benchmark rate at 5.50%. However, the market focus is on potential hints of a rate cut in September from Fed Chair Jay Powell.
Technical Analysis: Gold
Current Outlook: Gold prices have stabilized in a bullish zone, targeting $2,428. Today’s price movement is highly sensitive due to the upcoming Federal Reserve rate decision and subsequent guidance from Powell.
Bullish Scenario: If the price breaks $2,428, it could continue its bullish trend towards $2,440 and $2,450.
Bearish Scenario: A reversal and stabilization below $2,420 could lead to declines to $2,412, $2,397, and further down to $2,378.
