📊 Market Developments:
Spot gold is hovering around $3,337/oz, as investors await Fed Chair Powell’s remarks at the Jackson Hole symposium (Aug 21–23) for signals on possible rate cuts. Meanwhile, geopolitical updates on U.S. diplomacy in Ukraine also influence sentiment.

📉 Technical Analysis:
• Key Resistance: $3,380/oz
• Nearest Support: $3,330–$3,335/oz
• EMA 09: Price is consolidating near support, no clear direction yet.
