GOLD WILL BLAST IN SELL CONFIRM PREDICTION

15 בדצמ׳ 2023

Gold price (XAU/USD) trades with a mild positive bias for the third successive day on Friday, albeit lacks follow-through and remains below a one-and-half-week high touched the previous day. Against the backdrop of Friday's stronger-than-expected monthly jobs report, the upbeat US macro data released on Thursday pointed to a resilient economy and raised doubts about an early policy easing by the Federal Reserve (Fed) in March 2024. This leads to a modest recovery in the US Treasury bond yields, which, along with the prevalent risk-on environment, bolstered by hopes for additional stimulus measures from China, turns out to be a key factor acting as a headwind for the safe-haven precious metal.
