In the Asian market on Wednesday, gold fluctuated in a narrow range near its historical high and is currently trading around $2,662. Gold prices rose by $30 (more than 1%) on Tuesday and hit a record high of $2,664, continuing its recent gains. Tensions in the Middle East have increased gold's safe-haven appeal.
At the same time, the US consumer confidence index recorded the largest drop in three years, and concerns about the labor market are growing. Market expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 50 basis points in November have increased. The US dollar index recorded the largest single-day drop in nearly a month, which also provided momentum for gold prices to rise.
The current surge in gold prices is due to risk aversion due to concerns about the situation in the Middle East. Iran may have the next move, so gold will continue to hit new highs. The total annualized total of new home sales in the United States in August after seasonal adjustment will be released this trading day, and investors also need to pay attention to it. In addition, pay attention to the geopolitical situation and speeches by Fed Governor Kugler and other officials.
[Technical side]
Gold continued its strong rise and hit a new high of 2,664. The RSI indicator of the monthly chart touched above 80 and entered overbought, and the RSI indicators of the weekly and daily charts respectively reached the high of 80. The short-term four-hour chart synchronized the RSI high. The trend has not changed, but the indicator has resonated before the opening of the European and US markets yesterday and hit a record high again. Beware of the price using data and indicators to form a high and fall back. Wednesday's trading follows the trend and makes short-term transactions at low prices.
