Tuesday Market Analysis and Signals

244
In the Asian market on Tuesday, gold fluctuated in a narrow range and is currently trading around $2,642 per ounce. The price of gold fell by nearly 1% on Monday, and once lost the 2,630 mark during the session, which is exactly where the 10-day moving average support is located. It is also the lowest since September 24. Because the speech of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell is hawkish, the market's expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 50 basis points in November have been reduced. The rebound of the US dollar and US Treasury yields has put pressure on gold prices to pull back. However, the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and the entry of most central banks in the world into a cycle of interest rate cuts still provide support for gold!

Driven by the loose monetary policy of the United States and the intensification of tensions in the Middle East, gold has experienced a historic rise recently. In the third quarter of 2024, gold has risen by more than 13%. Last Thursday, it hit a record high of $2,685, which was mainly driven by the Federal Reserve's half-percentage point cut and the outbreak of war in the Middle East. It should be reminded that when the rise in gold prices is blocked, investors need to beware of the risk of further correction in gold prices.

The Eurozone September CPI data will be released on this trading day. Investors need to pay attention to it, focusing on the US September ISM manufacturing PMI, the US August JOLTs job vacancy data, and the news related to the geopolitical situation. Continue to pay attention to the speeches of Fed officials.
