DXY fell sharply after weak US economic dataWeak economic data, along with CPI and PPI data released earlier this week, reinforced the view that the Fed's rate hike cycle is over. This has strongly affected US government bond yields and caused the 10-year government bond yield to fall below 4.45%, approaching the lowest level since the end of September.
With the market expecting the Fed to gradually loosen monetary policy, gold prices may maintain an upward trend in the short term. This scenario will be confirmed if US economic data continues to weaken.

XAU trading strategy after PPI and CPI newsGold prices rose slightly in European trading yesterday, but fell again at the close. Meanwhile, UK inflation is showing signs of declining. Specifically, the UK Consumer Price Index rose by 4.6% in October, the slowest rise in two years, and a significant decline compared to the previous month's 6.7%. The main reason is falling fuel prices. Furthermore, the core inflation index also fell from 6.1% to 5.7%. This data was released shortly after the US CPI report and contributed to the rise in gold prices.
Gold matched its 200-day moving average and posted a strong three-day rally to $1,935 an ounce. However, if the gold price declines and returns below the 200-day moving average, the upper bound of the downward price channel and the $1,883.70 level will become visible. Meanwhile, current support lies at $1,935, and the $2,000 level still acts as the next psychological resistance.
Currently, the RSI index is still above the 50 point threshold, but there are no signs of overbought yet, suggesting that gold has enough strength to return above the $2,000 threshold. . The price range is $2,009.
USD exchange rate today November 17: Slight decreaseThe dollar traded steadily again as information on the US unemployment situation revised expectations for Fed rate cuts. Domestically, some banks this morning lowered their US dollar transaction rate from VND5 to VND20.
The dollar had fallen further after weaker-than-expected consumer price data raised concerns among many that inflation was slowing rapidly toward the Fed's 2% target. But the U.S. dollar rallied as markets grappled with uncertainty over when the Fed would cut the federal funds rate to 5.25% to 5.5% (which remains capped). For economic growth.
Gold trading strategy before CPI newsAccording to a Reuters poll, the U.S. monthly core CPI was expected to rise 0.3% in October, up 4.1% from the same month last year. The estimated intensity for September was similar for both.
This statistical range could strengthen expectations that the Fed will raise rates further in December, raising rates between 5.50% and 5.75%. However, the market continues to expect the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged.
According to the CME FedWatch tool, markets are pricing in an 85% chance that the Fed will keep rates unchanged at its December meeting and a 75% chance that it will cut rates next July. Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at Oanda, said further developments on the data would be really important, especially in ruling out the possibility of further rate hikes.
Ellam said the dangerous risks from the Israeli-Hamas conflict have not yet completely subsided and could easily recur at any time, but as it subsides, data and the economy will return to being more important factors. He said he would come.
Economists at Morgan Stanley expect the Fed to begin easing monetary policy in June 2024. These expected reductions are on the order of 25 basis points and will ultimately lead to lower energy prices. The key interest rate will fall to 2.375% by the end of 2025.

Powell believes that current interest rates are not too high.Powell believes that current interest rates are not too high. "Are the policies too tight? I think not." However, he admitted "rising interest rates make it difficult for everyone".
The Fed also emphasized that their targets have recently performed well. Inflation in September is currently 3.7%, down sharply from more than 9% in the middle of last year. "Recent figures show progress on both of our goals: maximizing employment and stabilizing prices. The economy is still handling quite well," he said.
However, the comments came on the same day as a report showing the number of people filing for unemployment benefits last week was the lowest since the beginning of the year. This shows that the labor market is tightening, which could put upward pressure on inflation.
In recent days, many Fed officials said the agency may temporarily stop raising interest rates. Even the most pro-tightening members think the Fed will wait for more impact from previous interest rate hikes on the economy. The market now also expects the Fed to stop raising interest rates, at least for now.
The question now is when will they start reducing interest rates. "When the environment remains risky and uncertain, we will be more cautious. The Fed will make decisions based on upcoming data, as well as prospects and risks," Powell said.
