The spot gold price is $3023.61/ounce, down $20.95 from the previous trading day, a drop of 0.7%. The following are the main factors affecting the gold price and the operation strategy:
Influence of news
Economic data: The third person in the Federal Reserve and the president of the New York Federal Reserve, Williams, will give a speech, and his remarks may affect market expectations. If he releases a dovish signal, it may support the gold price; if he is hawkish, it may suppress gold.
The market generally expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates at least twice this year, and the cumulative rate cut may reach 69 basis points. Williams' attitude towards rate cuts will affect the trend of gold.
Geopolitics: The situation in Russia, Ukraine and the Middle East continues to be tense, which has increased the market's risk aversion sentiment and usually supports the gold price. If the situation eases, the supporting factors of the gold price may weaken.
Technical analysis:
The gold price shows a high-level oscillation pattern, with strong suppression near $3050 above and Bollinger middle rail support in the $3020-3025 range below.
The hourly line shows that short-term bears are dominant, but there is support in the $2990-$3000 range, which may trigger a rebound. The KDJ indicator turned upward in the oversold area, suggesting that there may be a rebound demand in the short term.
Operation strategy:
Long strategy:
Light long near $2990-3000, with a stop loss below $2980.
The target price first looks at the Bollinger middle rail range of $3020-3025. If it can break through, it can further look to around $3035.
Short strategy:
Light short near $3045-3050, with a stop loss above $3060.
The target price first looks at $3030. If the short force is strong, it can be further looked down to around $3015.
Summary
In the short term, the price of gold is greatly affected by the speeches of Fed officials and the geopolitical situation, and there is a possibility of rebound and decline on the technical side. Investors should flexibly adjust their operation strategies according to market dynamics and technical indicators to control risks.
