Gold, CPI, Trendline breakout - Precious metals briefing

These developments are leaving the yellow metal in a precarious state heading into the final 24 hours of this week. On the daily chart below, gold appears to be confirming a breakout under a rising trendline from February.

From here, immediate support is the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at 1903. Pushing below this price opens the door to an increasingly bearish technical bias.

Comment:

Yields on 10-year US government bonds last week increased continuously, from 4% to 4.138%/year, making gold less attractive.

Comment:

Before the strength of the USD and bonds, speculators limited their holdings of precious metals, causing the world gold price to drop to 1,902 USD/ounce last night.

Comment:

Immediate support is the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at 1903. A confirmatory close under this point exposes the midpoint at 1848. Otherwise, in the event of a turn higher, keep a close eye on the falling trendline from April. This could hold as resistance, maintaining the near-term downside focus.
