GOLD approaching 2,340USD, technical outlook analysisOn Thursday (June 20) in the Asian market, spot gold suddenly increased sharply in the short term. Gold price once approached the mark of 2,340 USD/ounce, increasing nearly 11 USD during the day. Regarding basic content, there is currently no sudden impact on the market. Earlier Data released on Tuesday showed US retail sales barely grew in May, with last month's data revised down sharply, suggesting economic activity remained sluggish in the second quarter. CME's FedWatch tool shows that the likelihood of the Fed cutting interest rates in September increased slightly to 64.1% from 61% a day earlier. In terms of the overall fundamental picture, the main factor shaping the gold price trend remains the market's expectations for the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. Although gold prices have increased, the current trend is still unclear because the market is waiting for more decisive news. The basic principle is that lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-interest-bearing gold, meaning gold prices will benefit when interest rates are lower or expectations of interest rate cuts become stronger. The market is expecting at least one interest rate cut from the Fed. The value of the US Dollar has been fully valued in this. So unless this changes significantly, gold prices are expected to remain supported for a long time to come. However, with a trading week that sees little major macro data, the immediate focus will be on US weekly jobless claims data on Thursday and preliminary PMI figures on Thursday. Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD Gold is still maintaining its recovery momentum from the $2,300 level and is now once again testing the technical confluence that is the pressure sent to readers in previous publications in the $2,340 - $2,345 area. This is the price area of ​​the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level, the 21-day moving average (EMA21) and the upper edge of the trend price channel, horizontal resistance of 2,345USD. As long as gold remains below EMA21 and within the price channel, the technical outlook remains more bearish. On the other hand, if gold falls below $2,324 it will continue to tend to retest the $2,300 - $2,305 area in the short term. Next, a new bearish cycle will be ushered in once the $2,300 level is broken below. It is worth noting that in case the gold price moves above the EMA21, breaking the price channel, the bearish outlook will no longer be positive, but instead the increase could head towards 2,364USD in the short term and more than that. original price 2,400USD. So, for open short positions should be protected behind EMA21, after the $2,345 level is broken. During the day, the technical outlook for gold prices leans to the downside with the following technical levels noted.

OANDA:XAUUSD rose Tuesday after U.S. economic data showed a weaker-than-expected retail sales report led to curbs on consumer spending. This suggests the Federal Reserve could begin its easing cycle this year. The US Department of Commerce released retail sales data for May that improved compared to April. This data revived investors' hopes for an interest rate cut after the Fed signaled at its meeting. most recent meeting that current monetary policy is appropriate. Other data showed industrial production improved in May but was revised downward in April. In addition to economic data, Fed officials also speak at press conferences • New York Fed President John Williams said interest rates will gradually decline if deflation continues toward the Fed's annual core inflation target of 2%. While dodging questions about a September rate cut, he added: "I think things are moving in the right direction." • Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin appeared cautious, saying he would need to see more data before easing policy. Later, Boston Fed President Susan Collins said she would not be enthusiastic about improving inflation data, adding that now is not the time to cut interest rates. • New St. Fed President Louis Alberto Mussallem said he needs to see how the deflation process progresses before voting to cut interest rates. He added that he favors raising interest rates if inflation stops, even though that is not his baseline forecast. While most policymakers are neutral, US Treasury yields reflect investors starting to evaluate a rate cut. The yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds fell to 4.219%.

GOLD traded slightly down, main technical trendEntering the first phase of the week, OANDA:XAUUSD decreased slightly due to high US interest rates making gold less attractive. Gold is on the defensive as US Treasury yields rose after Federal Reserve officials maintained a hawkish stance. Even so, the US dollar has not received any significant support, and in foreign exchange trading the Dollar is still weaker than other major correlated currencies. • Fed officials say there will only be one rate cut in 2024, via Minneapolis Fed's Neel Kashkari. Over the weekend, the Minneapolis Fed's Neel Kashkari discussed monetary policy, saying it was "a reasonable forecast that the Fed will ease policy by just 25 basis points (bps) in 2024." That would send US bond yields higher, making holding gold less attractive while the federal funds rate remains elevated. • Fed Harker said that based on his current forecasts, he believes a rate cut this year is appropriate, underscoring the signal that interest rates will likely remain high. “If everything goes as expected, I think a rate cut would be appropriate later this year,” Harker said. The data is fine." So we'll still rely on the data." • Philadelphia Fed President now predicts economic growth will slow but remain above trend and the unemployment rate will increase modestly. He also believes that returning to the Fed's inflation target will be a "long process." • China's central bank paused an 18-month gold purchase, which also put pressure on gold prices. China's central bank's gold holdings held steady at 72.8 million ounces in May. In addition, the market is also paying close attention to upcoming comments from New York Fed President John Williams, Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker and Fed Governor Lisa Cook. The US will release retail sales data on Tuesday, initial jobless claims on Thursday and preliminary purchasing managers index (PMI) data on Friday. These data are expected to help investors better understand current consumption levels and economic strength. Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD On the daily chart, gold is still trading modestly with a resistance confluence area created by the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement, horizontal resistance at $2,345, the 21-day moving average (EMA21) and the upper edge. The price channel is the main pressure area. Meanwhile, the current technical trend of gold price is still leaning heavily towards the possibility of a price decrease with the main trend from the price channel. In the immediate future, the support levels for gold prices include 2,305 - 2,300 USD. If the original price level of 2,300 USD is broken below, it will open up conditions for a new decline in gold prices with the target at 2,286 USD in the short term. limit and more than the 0.382% Fibonacci level. As long as gold remains within the channel and below the EMA21, its technical outlook remains bearish with notable technical levels listed below.

GOLD fell as the trading week kicked offLast week, world gold prices increased by 1.9% even though the Dollar Index, which measures the strength of the USD against a basket of six other major currencies, increased by 0.6%. Gold prices rose after statistics showing softening inflation in the US reinforced the possibility of the Federal Reserve (Fed) cutting interest rates in September. After the CPI data dropped slightly, PPI also fell from 2.3% to 2.2% year-on-year, increasing the appeal of safe-haven assets as a hedge against inflation. The FOMC maintained its inflation forecast for 2024-2025, but the new dot plot shows at least one rate cut this year, applying some much-needed temporary pressure to gold prices. Net gold positions on the COMEX have gradually declined since a peak on May 21, suggesting waning interest among money managers. XAUUSD retreated from the support zone at around $2,300 with weak momentum and consolidated just below the resistance zone at $2,350. If it sustains above $2,325, the price could test $2,350 and the high set on June 7. However, if it trends below the $2,300 support zone, XAUUSD could drop to the support level. next psychological aid.

GOLD limits recovery, after CPI, FOMC and Powell's statementOANDA:XAUUSD fell slightly during the Asian session on June 13, following the US CPI data report and the US Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. The 0.236% Fibonacci level limited the recovery momentum of gold price to keep it in the price channel. Data released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics on Wednesday showed that the US consumer price index (CPI) in May increased 3.3% year-on-year, down from the previous value and the expected value is 3.4%; unchanged from the previous month, 0.1% lower than expected and also lower than the previous value. Values ​​slowed significantly to 0.3%, the lowest level since July 2022. Excluding food and energy costs, May core CPI increased 3.4% over the same period, lower than the expected 3.5% and lower than the previous 3.6%, the lowest level in more than 3 years. year; The increase in May increased from 0.3% in April to 0.2%, weaker than the 0.3% expected. These data coincide with a deceleration in core CPI in April and may represent the early stages of inflation returning to a downward trend. However, Fed policymakers have emphasized that they will need to see price pressures abate for several months before considering lowering interest rates, especially as the latest jobs report sparks a debate. discuss the extent of policy limitations. The report was released hours before the Federal Reserve ended its two-day policy meeting in Washington. The Federal Reserve left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 5.25%-5.50% for the seventh straight time on Wednesday, in line with market expectations. The Fed's Dotplot chart shows that it is expected that the agency will only cut interest rates once in 2024. Markets expected the Fed to adopt more supportive policies, but US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) policymakers reduced plans to cut interest rates three times in March to 2 times after a 2-day meeting. The committee also signaled that it sees longer-term interest rates higher than previously suggested. The new forecast released after a two-day meeting this week showed inflation still on track to return to the Fed's 2% target, allowing for some policy easing later this year. The statement after the meeting said: "Inflation has eased over the past year but remains high." The only significant change is that the new statement continues to say that "more modest progress has been made in recent months toward the FOMC's 2% inflation target." While the previous statement was "lack of further progress" on inflation. On the same day Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell emphasized in a press conference that the Fed was not yet confident in starting to cut interest rates, but also said that no one considered a rate hike an expectation. basic. Powell's statement can be interpreted as keeping interest rates high for longer but ruling out a rate hike. Overall assessment, CPI data has boosted gold prices in the short term, but after the FOMC announcement and Powell's statement reduced the possibility of gold price recovery because the USD became attractive, when the possibility of interest rates The high will last for a longer period of time. The fundamental picture after yesterday's trading day temporarily leans more towards the possibility of creating pressure on gold prices, but traders also need to pay attention to other unexpected impacts from geopolitical news. is still smoldering in many parts of the world. Gold is often supported when geopolitical risks escalate. Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD On the daily chart, after gold's recovery yesterday, it was capped by key resistance that readers noticed in the previous issue at the $2,340 - $2,345 area, the price range of this level. Fibonacci retracement 0.236%. Gold's fall below $2,324 continues to provide prospects for it to test the $2,300 base and once the $2,300 base is broken below gold will be eligible for a new bearish cycle. with the latter target around $2,286 in the short term, more than the 0.382% Fibonacci level. That said, the original price level of 2,300 USD is also the closest current support worth noting.

GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [June 17 - June 21]OANDA:XAUUSD maintained a steady recovery before the weekend, but the overall trend remained unclear as US consumer confidence continued to decline and inflation expectations remained high. COMEX gold futures (including electronic trading) closed up 1.31% at $2,348.40/ounce, up 1.01% this week. On Friday, the University of Michigan's preliminary consumer confidence index fell to 65.6 from a revised 69.1 in May. The data was weaker than expected, with expectations for the index at around 72.1. The new divergence between the Fed's interest rate forecast and market expectations could bring some volatility to the gold market in the short term. The latest economic forecast shows the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates once this year, down from three as forecast in March. The Fed's interest rate forecast, also known as the Dotplot, shows the federal funds rate will be above 5.00% by the end of the year. “Inflation has eased over the past year but remains high,” the Fed said in its monetary policy statement. In recent months, inflation has made some progress toward the FOMC's 2% target. Gold should still receive good support as central banks remain solid buyers despite data from the People's Bank of China showing their gold reserves did not increase last month. China is the main driving force behind the increase in gold prices over the past year, and China's gold purchases have only been assessed as temporary and there has not been any move to show that they have "stopped". could also be a move to avoid paying a record high purchase price. Another piece of data worth noting is US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) data showing that in the week to June 11, speculative net long positions in COMEX gold futures contracts decreased by 6,200 lots down to 177,549 lots. Economic data next week will be relatively soft, and the technical price trend of gold will receive more attention. The market will get some preliminary and regional manufacturing data as well as some US housing data. Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD On the daily chart, although gold recovered from the support level of 2,305 - 2,300 USD that readers noticed last week, in general the recovery momentum is still limited and the downtrend has not been broken. The recovery momentum of gold price is limited by the confluence area of ​​the technical point 2,345USD, the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level, the upper edge of the price channel and the EMA21 moving average. In general, this will be the area where the gold price has all the important technical pressures for a technical downtrend. As long as gold remains below the EMA21 and within the price channel, the technical outlook for gold prices remains bearish, while if gold breaks below $2,324 it will have room for more downside with the following target level That's about 2,305 - 2,300USD in the short term. A new bearish cycle is expected to be ushered in once gold breaks below the original price of $2,300, and the subsequent short-term target level is $2,286 more than the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement level. Next week, the technical outlook for gold prices remains bearish with the following notable technical levels. Support: 2,324 – 2,305 – 2,300USD Resistance: 2,340 – 2,345USD 📌Short-term trading plan for next week (illustrated chart): In the immediate future, we will consider selling if the price rises to 2365, buying if the price drops to 2260.

GOLD will have unexpected fluctuationsOANDA:XAUUSD delivered immediately increased for the second consecutive trading day, gold price once reached 2,320 USD/ounce. Today (Wednesday), the market will receive the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision and US CPI data, which is expected to explode the market. The latest big news comes from ceasefire negotiations in the Middle East. An Israeli official said Israel had received Hamas's response to the ceasefire proposal through relevant mediators, but believed that Hamas had revised "all the fundamental content" of the proposal and Change the content of this proposal. The proposal outline was previously announced by US President Biden. Israel took this to mean that Hamas had rejected the ceasefire proposal. This news has helped gold attract some safe-haven buying activities, pushing gold prices higher in the context that the Dollar is still stronger. U.S. CPI Data and Federal Reserve Decisions Coming Soon US May CPI data will be released a few hours before the Fed's decision. If inflation stays stable, that could allow the dollar to start to gain traction first. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell will likely be asked about the data at a post-FOMC press conference. On Wednesday, the United States will release the May Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. US monthly CPI growth in May is expected to decline from 0.3% to 0.1%, but monthly core CPI growth is expected to remain steady at 0.3%. Additionally, US annual CPI growth in May is expected to remain unchanged at 3.4%, while core CPI growth is expected to decline from 3.6% to 3.5%. On Thursday, the FOMC will release its interest rate resolution and summary of economic expectations On Thursday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will hold a press conference on monetary policy. Given policymakers' stance of "higher interest rates for longer," the market is almost certain that the FOMC will not act at this week's meeting. So the focus will be on the post-meeting statement and the new interest rate forecast. In March this year, the Fed's Interest Rate Dotplot showed that policymakers predicted that the policy rate would be cut by a total of 75 basis points in 2024. An upward revision is possible. That's because most policymakers say they are in no hurry to start reducing borrowing costs. According to data from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's "FedWatch" tool, the market expects the probability that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 50 basis points this year is nearly 55%. Today is a very important trading day because it is directional from big data such as CPI and FOMC events, first gold and dollar will be affected by CPI data and then FOMC. If CPI data is better, this will boost the US Dollar but then if the FOMC shows the prospect of a rate cut then this will boost gold prices. A rather complicated trading day with two major events in the geopolitical context showing signs of supporting gold prices. Short comments will be sent to you as data and events are released, hopefully in time with your trading timing. Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD Gold has recovered to above its original price of 2,300 USD, but it is temporarily limited as it has not yet reached the target level at the technical point of 2,324 USD, as noted by readers in yesterday's publication. However, the overall technical chart still shows a bearish picture with all the conditions from the main trend highlighted by the price channel and the main resistance from the confluence area of ​​the upper edge. price channel, 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level and EMA21. In case gold falls below the original price of 2,300 USD, the recovery cycle has generally ended with the target price reduction then being around 2,286 - 2,272 USD. As long as gold remains within the channel and below the EMA21, the technical outlook for gold prices remains bearish and notable levels are listed below.

GOLD recovers, but technical conditions lean bearish OANDA:XAUUSD recovering to above the price of 2,300 USD as of the time this article was being completed. The previous trading day, gold prices reached their largest decline in 3 and a half years due to data released by China and the United States. Gold prices fell about $83, or 3.5%, last Friday, the biggest one-day drop since November 2020, after a stronger-than-expected US jobs report dampened hopes for a interest rate cut in September, while news that China's central bank is delaying gold purchases caused the market to reduce bets on demand from China, one of the world's biggest gold buyers. . Market focus has shifted to the US consumer inflation report, released on Wednesday, the same day as the Federal Reserve's policy decision. The Fed is not expected to make any changes this week, focusing on comments from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and changes to policymakers' economic forecasts. On the daily chart, gold is trying to recover above the $2,300 base price and a daily close above this base price would be a positive signal. To confirm, gold should maintain price activity above $2,305, a technical level noted by readers in Sunday's weekly edition. On the other hand, if gold moves below the original price level of 2,300 USD again, it will continue to be under technical pressure with the target level possibly aiming at the price point of 2,272 USD, the location of the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement. Holding above $2,305 would strengthen the case for a recovery with a target then around $2,324, a position that was also brought to the attention of readers in the weekly publication. During the day, the technical trend is still leaning more towards bearish possibilities, positions will be noticed again as follows.

AUDUSD continues to benefit from the return to risk assetsAUSTRALIAN DOLLAR ( OANDA:AUDUSD ) ANALYSIS - Australian inflation eases less than anticipated in March and Q1 as a whole - AUDUSD continues to benefit from the return to risk assets AUSTRALIAN INFLATION EASES LESS THAN ANTICIPATED IN Q1 Monthly, quarterly and yearly inflation measures showed disappointing progress towards the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) target. The monthly CPI indicator for May rose to 3.5% versus the prior 3.4% to round off a disappointing quarter where the first three months of the year revealed a rise of 1%, trumping the 0.8% estimate and prior marker of 0.6%. Generally higher service cost pressures in the first quarter have made a notable contribution to the stubborn inflation data – something the RBA will most likely continue to warn against. The local interest rate is expected to remain higher for longer in part due to the sluggish inflation data but also due to the labour market remaining tight. A strong labour market facilitates spending and consumption, preventing prices from declining at a desired pace. Markets now foresee no movement on the rate front this year with implied basis point moves all in positive territory for the remainder of the year. This is of course likely to evolve as data comes in but for now, the chances of a rate cut this year appear unlikely. OANDA:AUDUSD CONTINUES TO BENEFIT FROM THE RETURN TO RISK ASSETS After escalation threats between Israel and Iran appeared to die down, markets returned to assets like the S&P 500 and the ‘high beta’ Aussie dollar. AUD/USD subsequently reversed after tagging the 0.6365 level – the September 2022 spike low and surpassed 0.6460 with ease. Upside momentum appears to have found intra-day resistance at a noteworthy area of confluence resistance – the intersection of the 50 and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs). The move could also be inspired by reports of Israel preparing to move on Hamas targets in Rafah, which could risks deflating the recent lift in risk sentiment. US GDP data tomorrow and PCE data on Friday still provide an opportunity for increased volatility and a potential USD comeback should both prints surprise to the upside, further reinforcing the higher for longer narrative that has reemerged. All things considered, AUD may be susceptible to a sifter end to the week.

GBPCHF tries to find resistance after recoveryPOUND STERLING OANDA:GBPCHF ANALYSIS - Enough US data to go around this week: ADP, services PMI and NFP - GBP/CHF attempts to find resistance as the pair recovers from overbought territory THERE’S ENOUGH US DATA TO GO AROUND THIS WEEK There is a lack of UK data this week, but it shouldn't be ignored for sterling-related pairs. FX movements increased in Q1 and central banks are now considering interest rate cuts. The question is when will they have the confidence to start. In contrast, US data has been plentiful. ADP data added to the strength seen in the job market. US services PMI data contributed to the dollar's short-term pullback after declines in "new orders" and "prices" in March, resulting in a moderate headline reading of 51.4. There is significant Fed speak today, with Jerome Powell standing out. OANDA:GBPCHF ATTEMPTS TO FIND RESISTANCE AS THE PAIR RECOVERS FROM OVERBOUGHT TERRITORY Now that the Swiss National Bank (SNB) surprised markets with a 25 basis point cut in March, the Swiss Franc appears vulnerable. However, since the SNB meeting, GBP/CHF has failed to trade above the March 21st high, witnessing long upper wicks which ultimately fell short of the mark. The pair also attempts to recover from overbought territory and so there may be room for a shorter-term pullback should bears pile in from here. The gold overlay is the yield differential for the pair (GB 10 year bond yield -Swiss 10 year yield) and has helped, to some degree, explain the path of the pair. Support sits at the recent swing low around 1.1345 with resistance at 1.1487.

GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY [June 10 - June 14]On the daily chart, gold has lost almost all of its technical points to a bullish structure, instead with a weekly close below the $2,300 base point opening up expectations for more downside with a target level. Short-term target is aimed at the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement level. The relative strength index (RSI) is pointing down but has not yet reached the oversold level, this shows that there is still room for price declines and the Fibonacci level of 0.382% may be suitable for a short-term upward correction when which RSI reached the oversold level. In the near future, if gold recovers to above 2,300 USD, it will have the necessary conditions to recover more with the target levels when moving above 2,300 USD being 2,324 - 2,345 USD. Thus, the original price of 2,300 USD is also the closest resistance currently. 📌The trading plan for next week will first consider selling if the price returns to around 2342, buying around the support mark of 2195.

EURGBP eyes support ahead of UK CPI printEURGBP initially began the year in a fairly well-defined trading range but showed bullish impetus after breaking out of the consolidation pattern. However, bullish momentum appeared lacking, as the pair struggled to maintain a steady directional move and has since shown a penchant towards mean reversion. 0.8635 proved too high to handle for the pair previously but the most recent bullish advance fell short of that, finding resistance around the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) before heading lower. The current spate of selling is showing signs of fatigue as the pair attempts to trade higher after four successive days of losses. The pair could find itself propped up by trendline support, which caught the bottoms in April and earlier on in May. Keep an eye out for UK CPI tomorrow where there is an expectation of a notable move lower from the prior month. With such optimism, comes the potential for disappointment if the actual data fails to reach the low levels anticipated which may see sterling lift in the moments after the print. April data has the potential to surprise to the upside as this is the month when annual price rises and index-linked increases are implemented. On the other side of the equation, if the CPI data prints inline or lower than consensus estimates, EURGBP may rise off support as markets clear the way for a Bank of England cut sooner rather than later.

PCE data was in line with market expectations, but core PCE data was below analysts' expectations, suggesting inflation in the US is cooling faster than the market expected. So fundamentally the likelihood of the Fed cutting interest rates sooner rather than later increases. Lower interest rates tend to be positive for gold as they reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets and precious metal prices increase following data releases.

GOLD continuing downtrendOANDA:XAUUSD reached a peak of $2,450 in May but has since fallen over 4%. This shift indicates a change in investor sentiment, with bullish investors likely seeking other opportunities. The weakness in gold may persist due to factors like inflation and the US central bank's restrictive stance. Traders watching short positions should pay attention to the $2,335 support zone. This area combines important technical indicators, such as a key trendline and the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the March-May rally. If the price decisively falls below $2,335 with above-average trading volume, it would be a strong selling signal. If the price drops below $2,335, the next important level to watch is the 50-day simple moving average at $2,325. Breaking this support could lead to a further decline, with potential downside targets around $2,265, which is a critical Fibonacci level near this month's lowest point. If bulls regain control and prices rise, resistance at $2,365 and $2,377 may pose a challenge. However, surpassing this level could change bearish sentiment and potentially lead to a rally towards $2,420. Further strength could even bring the all-time high back into play.

GBPZAR rise strong but momentum is near oversold levels The British Pound strengthens against the rand, trading above 24.00 once again. Similar to USD/ZAR, it is also trading above the 200 SMA and approaching the February swing high of 24.59.
