XAUUSD | Market outlook

297
Gold prices are showing moderate growth during the morning session, returning to an uptrend after multidirectional dynamics the day before, which did not allow XAU/USD to consolidate at new local highs since August 6. The instrument was pressured yesterday by the massive growth of USD across the entire spectrum of the market in response to increased alarming sentiment regarding the new strain of coronavirus. The strengthening of USD was not prevented by the weak macroeconomic statistics from the USA on the dynamics of retail sales, which only contributed to the risk-aversion of investors. Additional pressure on gold quotes was exerted by a decrease in the yield of 10-year US Treasury bonds, which renewed their two-week lows the day before.
