Dear esteemed comrades,
At the conclusion of yesterday's trading session, gold has gained a dominant position in terms of price increase. As of the time of writing this piece, gold is trading below the $2000 mark.
In the current context of gold:
- Amidst ongoing tensions in the Middle East, concerns about political instability are expected to persist in the short term, providing continued support for gold.
- The market anticipates that the Federal Reserve will maintain interest rates at its upcoming policy meeting next month. If data suggests a slowdown, the Fed will have additional reasons to refrain from raising rates, which will greatly support gold and push prices back above $2000.
Regarding technical analysis:
- The upward trend is strongly reinforced on the daily timeframe. However, the $2000 level is considered a psychological barrier for buyers at the moment. In my opinion, a corrective phase with a testing nature is likely to be closely observed here. Nonetheless, I remain optimistic and maintain my view of emphasizing the continuation of the upward trend in the gold market at this time.
