Gold plummeted after a record riseWorld gold prices decreased slightly with spot gold down 5.1 USD to 2,181 USD/ounce. Gold futures last traded at 2,183.9 USD/ounce, down 5.6 USD compared to yesterday morning. Although almost unchanged compared to yesterday morning, the price of the yellow metal has dropped sharply during the day. On March 21 (US time), gold continuously conquered record highs thanks to the dovish speech of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) at the latest policy meeting. The precious metal hit an all-time high of $2,222.39 per ounce as the Fed signaled it would continue to cut interest rates three times in 2024 despite rising inflation. Despite rising inflation, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell still said that the US Central Bank has the ability to reduce interest rates by three-quarters of a percentage point by the end of 2024. However, the Fed's decision will depend on data. The economy is here. The Fed's stance pushed the dollar to its lowest level in a week, while also causing US 10-year Treasury yields to fall. Meanwhile, gold prices continuously increased. Witnessing strong buying force after the meeting, Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao optimistically predicted that spot gold could retest the resistance level at 2,222 USD/ounce. If this threshold is broken, this precious metal can conquer levels in the range of 2,228 - 2,234 USD/ounce.

USD/JPY at Critical Juncture: Evaluating Peaks and Intervention The USD/JPY has surged to multi-year highs in the 151.000s amid a broader strengthening of the US Dollar and shifting trade dynamics, exerting downward pressure on the Japanese Yen. Currently positioned at 151.590, the pair finds itself within a robust resistance zone, hinting at a potential retracement following the Federal Reserve's upcoming policy meeting. As the USD/JPY approaches a critical intervention zone, historically monitored by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) for FX market stabilization, there arises a likelihood of resistance to further appreciation. This intervention zone, noted by analysts at MUFG, underscores the BoJ's proactive stance in curbing excessive Yen weakness beyond the 150.000 threshold. The proximity to this intervention zone implies a possible inflection point for the USD/JPY, suggesting a pending reversal or consolidation in the near term. Such dynamics highlight the intricate interplay between central bank interventions and market sentiment, shaping the trajectory of currency pairs like the USD/JPY.

XAUUSD : Gold continues to wait for the FOMC meetingGold is under pressure as investors wait for the Fed interest rate meeting Gold recovered slightly as the USD slowed down and investors prepared for the Fed meeting on Thursday. During the March 18 session, gold fell sharply from $2,159 to $2,146 when the USD was supported by the increase in US government bond yields before turning up and ending the day around $2,160 when the USD leveled off. Precious metals cannot break out as economic data is still good and the Fed interest rate outlook is still "hawkish". There will be no important economic data from the US today and tomorrow until Thursday when the Fed's interest rate meeting begins. Currently, gold is trading around $2,160.
