Gold Price Analysis October 16

16 oct.

Fundamental Analysis
Gold prices traded in a positive bias for the second consecutive day and maintained intraday gains near the $2,675 region or a three-week high in the first half of the European session on Wednesday. Amid persistent geopolitical risks, disappointment over the lack of details on China’s fiscal stimulus dampened investor appetite for riskier assets. This was evident in the weaker tone in equity markets and turned out to be a key factor in favor of the safe-haven precious metal.

Meanwhile, anti-risk flows led to a further decline in US Treasury yields and provided further support to non-yielding gold. That said, the solid expectations of less aggressive easing by the Federal Reserve (Fed) and bets on a regular 25 basis points (bps) rate cut in November will act as a driver of US bond yields. This, in turn, has lifted the US dollar (USD) to its highest in more than two months and could deter bullish traders from placing fresh bets on the commodity.

Technical Analysis
Gold’s break above 2680 is currently unresponsive. SELL points are in focus around 2684-2686. Above this level, only the 2700 price zone remains. A pullback is increasingly unlikely as the key area of ​​interest will be today’s Asian session low around 2660. Wishing you a successful trading day. A scalping hook around 2670 could be a breakout point as the European session enters but this point is likely to be false
