Gold in downtrend below 2633

XAU / USD trend forecast December 23, 2024

Gold prices (XAU/USD) remain stable around $2,625 during the early Asian session on Monday. While the Federal Reserve's (Fed) hawkish outlook could pressure the yellow metal, the downside might be limited by a weaker US Dollar following a softer inflation report.

At its December meeting, the Fed reduced interest rates as anticipated but signaled a slower pace for any further rate reductions. The updated Fed dot plot, which outlines future rate expectations, now shows a projected half-percentage point cut in 2025, down from a full percentage point reduction forecasted in September. This has strengthened the US Dollar (USD) and weighed on USD-denominated gold, as rising real interest rates heighten the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold.

Gold is moving sideways in the range of 2590 - 2630, accumulating until the end of 2024
