Gold Holds Steady – Fed Rate Cut Fears Continue to Support

95
📊 Market dynamics:
• Gold prices are holding firm around $3,390.27/oz, while December futures trade near $3,447.40/oz, as investors await the PCE data and further Fed signals.
• CME FedWatch shows over 88% probability of a 25 bps rate cut at the next Fed meeting.
• A weaker USD and ongoing political turmoil around the Fed continue to provide safe-haven support for gold.

📉 Technical analysis:
• Key resistance: $3,400 – $3,435
• Nearest support: $3,375 – $3,384
• EMA 09: Needs to be checked on real-time chart; gold price is consolidating close to short-term moving averages.
• Candlestick / volume / momentum: Recent 2-week highs show some profit-taking pressure, but Fed uncertainty and USD weakness still support short-term bullish momentum.

📌 Outlook:
• In the short term, gold may extend higher if PCE data is weaker and the Fed signals more easing.
• However, if US data surprises on the upside and the Fed stays hawkish, gold could retest the $3,375 – $3,380 support zone.
