Gold prices plunged again during the trading day on Wednesday, as we continue to observe huge gains in the US dollar.
The gold market fluctuated during trade on Thursday, as the important $1800 barrier continues to be threatened. The $1800 level is a support region that is reinforced by a substantial rising line.
The decline in Treasury rates is an indicator that some speculators are banking on a recession. However, we do not observe the similar betting activity on the gold market.
Throughout Wednesday’s trading session, gold markets were all over the place as we continue to seek market balance.
As yields decline, the gold price maintains its position above the crucial support of $1,850.00. The 10-year US Treasury rates have fallen below 3.20 percent following the Fed’s announcement of a massive rate rise. Today’s speech by Fed head Jerome Powell is anticipated by investors.
Gold’s price is encountering resistance at $1,820 per ounce, although the recovery appears more robust amid a risk-taking disposition. Investors have begun to assume that a 75 basis point rate rise is coming. Yields on 10-year US Treasuries have plummeted to 3.42 percent.
During Thursday’s trading session, the gold market reached the bottom of the general consolidation region. Given that we are awaiting CPI data on Friday, it seems reasonable that gold would be volatile.
The market behavior over the previous two sessions implies that gold investors are pricing in an aggressive path of Fed interest rate rises.
Gold futures are trading at their lowest level in two weeks as a result of increasing U.S. Treasury rates and a strengthening U.S. Dollar.
Despite rising inflation fears, gold prices declined little. The Federal Reserve meeting indicated more aggressive rate hikes. Treasury rates were unchanged as the currency appreciated.
