Weekly Fundamental Forecast for GOLD (based on the article)


XAU/USD"The Federal Reserve released its 4th quarter projections this week and although the committee did upwardly revised their year-end GDP forecast to 2.4%, they lowered inflation expectations with Core PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditure) revised lower to just 1.5% from 1.7%. This was the second consecutive reduction we’ve seen in the Fed’s inflation forecast and continues to suggest the central bank remains uneasy with the continued softness in price growth. It’s also worth noting that the interest rate dot-plot suggests the Fed remains committed to one more hike this year, expectations for the terminal or longer-run rate were lowered with the median forecast now calling for a nominal rate of 2.75%. The point is that although markets did need to reprice the December, the end rate suggests the glide path will likely be even slower than expected. That said, look for USD gains to be limited. From a technical standpoint, the prices do remain at risk near-term with the decline likely to offer favorable points of entry for the bulls."

Gold - daily ranging bullish; 1,263 support (based on the article)

Daily price is on bullish ranging above 100-SMA/200-SMA reversal area within 1,357 resistance and 1,263 support levels. If the price breaks 1,263 support to below so the daily bearish reversal will be started, otherwise - the ranging bullish trend will be continuing in the near future for example.


  • "Spot Gold: Retail trader data shows 74.5% of traders are net-long with the ratio of traders long to short at 2.93 to 1. The number of traders net-long is 4.2% higher than yesterday and 15.8% higher from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 13.1% lower than yesterday and 21.3% lower from last week. "
  • "We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-long suggests Spot Gold prices may continue to fall. Traders are further net-long than yesterday and last week, and the combination of current sentiment and recent changes gives us a stronger Spot Gold-bearish contrarian trading bias."

Weekly Fundamental Forecast for GOLD (based on the article)


XAU/USD - "Heading into next week, all eyes fall on the Fed with the FOMC rate decision slated for Wednesday. While no change to the benchmark rate is expected, traders will be looking for any changes to the accompanying statement- specifically as it pertains to the inflationary outlook. Keep in mind markets have largely priced in a December hike with Fed Fund Futures currently showing an 87.1% probability for an increase of 25bps. However with both 3Q GDP and the Core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) coming in stronger-than-expected on Friday, the question now becomes the future pace of subsequent rate-hikes."
