Thursday Market Analysis and Signals
Gold fluctuated in a narrow range on Thursday and is currently trading around 2,500. Gold prices bottomed out and rebounded on Wednesday, hitting a nearly two-week low of 2,471 during the session, helped by a decline in the US dollar and US Treasury yields after a decrease in US job vacancies raised expectations that the Federal Reserve would cut interest rates by 50 basis points in September. Gold prices reversed their gains as a result.
The slight slowdown in the US economy has led to a pullback in the US dollar and continued lower interest rates, which has supported the gold market. In addition, the ADP employment and initial jobless claims reports to be released on Thursday, as well as the NFP employment report on Friday, will also be closely watched, and the market will use them to look for clues to the Fed's path to rate cuts.
Investors and Fed officials are keeping a close eye on the labor market after unemployment rose for four consecutive months, fueling concerns about a recession. Economists stick to their forecast that the Fed will cut interest rates by 25 basis points at its meeting on September 17-18. Much depends on the August employment report scheduled for release on Friday.
[Technical side]
Gold daily line formed a long lower shadow and closed up. The price came to the MA5 daily moving average. The lower side tested the middle track of the Bollinger band. The price stopped at the middle track 2471. The upper MA7 daily moving average 2500 mark focused on whether it could stabilize during the day. The short-term four-hour chart price stood on the middle track of the Bollinger band. The RSI indicator adjusted the middle axis. The moving average opened upward. The technical side was bullish. The overall rhythm rose and fell after a slight adjustment during the day. If the data is bearish, the daily line will again show a long and short cycle.
