GOLD again targets $3,371, new bullish cycle condition

261
Today (Tuesday, July 15), in the Asian market, the spot XAUUSD maintained a slight recovery trend, currently at around 3,360 USD/ounce.

The spot XAUUSD rose to a 3-week high on Monday, but quickly fell back and finally closed lower. Trump's open attitude towards trade negotiations has improved the market's risk-on sentiment and negatively impacted gold, a safe-haven asset. But gold still has a lot of potential risks for price increases, and personally, the fundamental trend for gold has not changed.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics will release its June Consumer Price Index (CPI) report today (Tuesday).
According to a Reuters survey, economists expect the US CPI to increase year-on-year in June to 2.7% from 2.4% the previous month, while the core CPI is expected to increase year-on-year to 3% from 2.8%.

The survey also showed that the US CPI is expected to increase 0.3% month-on-month in June, and the core CPI is also expected to increase 0.3% month-on-month.

According to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's "FedWatch Tool", the market believes that the Fed is unlikely to cut interest rates in July and the probability of keeping interest rates unchanged in September is about 30%.

If the US core CPI rises by 0.4% or more in June, this could prompt market participants to reassess the possibility of a rate cut in September. In this case, the US Dollar could hold steady and push gold prices lower. On the other hand, if the data is lower than expected, gold will become more attractive while a weaker Dollar will be positive for gold prices.

Back above $3,300, GOLD may remain neutral, tax focus

After gold reached the resistance target of attention to readers in the weekly publication at 3,371 USD, which is the location of the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement, it fell slightly but is now recovering positively.

Currently, gold is trading in the range of 3,360 USD, the price action above the lower edge of the long-term rising price channel with support from the EMA21, gold is now likely to continue to retest the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level.

Note
On July 16, gold prices traded around $3,330/oz, holding steady above the 55-day moving average despite falling 0.5% the day before due to the strongest increase in US CPI data since January, pushing the USD and bond yields up, putting pressure on gold.

Note
Gold prices fell sharply on July 24, partly due to optimism about global trade and positive economic data from the U.S. The U.S.-Japan trade deal, along with progress in negotiations with the European Union, reduced demand for gold as a safe-haven asset.
