Hey Traders, in today's trading session we are monitoring Gold for a selling opportunity around the 2037 zone. Gold is currently in a downtrend and undergoing a correction phase, nearing the support and resistance area at 2037.
In terms of fundamentals, Chair Powell's recent statement indicating that a rate cut in March is not the Federal Reserve's base case has had a significant impact. This sentiment was further reinforced by the strong payrolls report, which underscored the Fed's cautious approach towards monetary policy adjustments. Despite having access to more comprehensive information than the markets, Powell chose to resist rate cuts at this time, signaling a more optimistic outlook on the economy. In such scenarios, a stronger US dollar tends to exert downward pressure on gold prices.
Furthermore, it's essential to understand the negative correlation between the US dollar and gold. Historically, gold and the US dollar have exhibited an inverse relationship, meaning when the dollar strengthens, the price of gold tends to decrease, and vice versa. This inverse correlation is primarily driven by the fact that gold is denominated in US dollars. When the dollar appreciates, it becomes more expensive for investors holding other currencies to purchase gold, leading to a decrease in demand and subsequently lower prices. Therefore, as the US dollar strengthens due to the Fed's stance on monetary policy, we may anticipate downward pressure on the price of gold.
Trade safe, Joe.
