Gold price lacks any firm intraday direction and is influenced by a combination of diverging forces. The weaker US GDP print and a rise in US inflation benefit the metal amid subdued USD demand. Hawkish Fed expectations cap the upside as traders await the release of the US PCE Price Index.
Generally speaking, Gold tends to benefit against the USD in a risk-averse environment, which skews the risk to the upside. In the near term, and according to the 4-hour chart, XAU/USD offers a neutral-to-bullish stance. The Momentum indicator is losing its upward strength but holds above its 100 line, while the RSI indicator consolidates around 47, reflecting the absence of apparent directional strength. At the same time, a mildly bullish 100 SMA provides dynamic resistance at around $2,343.50, while the 20 SMA aims lower below the current level
