Gold Prices React to US Inflation and Market Volatility

Gold markets continue to experience downward pressure, with the possibility of dropping to the $1950 level if the 50-Day EMA is broken. Traders are taking profits ahead of the holidays, and the upcoming meetings of the Federal Reserve, Swiss National Bank, Bank of England, and European Central Bank could create further volatility in interest-rate sectors. While still in an uptrend, gold is testing major support levels. A turnaround and move above $2000 could lead to a return towards $2050, but the timing remains uncertain. Value hunters may wait until after the holidays to buy, with the reaction to the Federal Reserve meeting being a key factor. The current selloff may be overreacting, and a potential slowdown is anticipated.

Gold Prices Rise on Expectations of Monetary Policy Easing and Geopolitical Unrest

Gold markets initially fell but rebounded as buyers entered the market due to geopolitical concerns and increased gold purchases by central banks. The market is expected to remain volatile due to the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting. There is a possibility of a descending wedge formation, but buying pressure is likely to provide support. If the market breaks above the resistance level, it could reach $2050. Given the geopolitical concerns and gold's status as a safe asset, shorting the gold market is not recommended.
