Gold Struggles Near $1,880 – Quick Trade Plan Today

In the Asian session, the [[gold]] price fell below the immediate resistance level of $1,870.00.


In the Asian session, the GOLD price fell below the immediate resistance level of $1,870.00. The precious metal has provided a breakdown of the consolidation created in a trading range of $1,870-1,881.50 as demand for US government bonds is decelerating ahead of Federal Reserve (Fed) chair Jerome Powell’s speech on Tuesday.

The 10-year US Treasury yield has risen beyond 3.54%, impacting risk-on sentiment. Meanwhile, S&P 500 futures have become volatile following a sell-off in the late Monday session, indicating caution in developing holdings in risky assets. The US Dollar Index (DXY) is projected to attempt a break above the immediate barrier of 103.00 to enter the auction range.
Investors look forward to Fed Chair Powell’s speech for new clues since it will provide a head start for the full year 2023. Despite a sharp reduction in December wage inflation, several Fed policymakers prefer the terminal rate prediction of 5.00–5.25%.

According to San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly, interest rates should be between 5% and 5.25%. Furthermore, Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank President Raphael Bostic expects interest rates to peak in the 5%-5.25% area and continue to rise into CY2023.

Gold Technical Outlook

At today’s opening, the GOLD price started trading in a positive direction again, bringing it closer to our hoped-for goal of $1,900.00.
