CPI Momentum and Fed Rate Cut Expectations

6 days agoThe gold chart is currently trading in a narrow range, indicating a sideways trend, reflecting the market’s anticipation of news that could have a major impact on prices. This sideways movement occurs between two key levels: resistance near $2,525 and support at $2,472.

This stability has been partly maintained by the latest US inflation data, which showed that core CPI remained stable, suggesting that the Fed may not change monetary policy in the near term. However, any major changes from the Fed’s decision could trigger a strong rally in gold, especially if interest rates are cut deeper than expected, which would weaken the USD and increase the appeal of gold as a safe-haven asset.
