Risk On Sentiment & Bearish Gold – A Potential Trade Setup
Quick Recap – Last week, gold prices spiked following softer than anticipated US retail sales and Inflation (CPI) figures, placing a high around $1,280 per ounce. However, the gains were limited and investors encountered a sharp reversal due to the FOMC. It tested multi week's lows of $1,250.
Gold Daily Forecast – At the moment, we can see the gold is holding right above the major support level of $1250 with a neutral sentiment. Though the long-term trend is bearish, it is now supported by the Fed Rate Hike by 25 base points.
Today, we don't have anything on the economic calendar that may interest investors, except, FOMC Member Dudley speech. As discussed in our Forex Signals Brief For 19th – 25th June, Dudley is due to speak at 12:00 (GMT). Any hawkish remarks from him are likely to give investors another reason to enter a sell position in the bearish gold.
