Future Forecast
Daily Outlook
The daily outlook for gold remains bullish, building on the strong upward momentum from the monthly and weekly outlooks. The price is hovering near its all-time high, supported by expectations of an imminent Fed rate cut and a weakening US dollar. Geopolitical tensions also continue to provide a safe-haven bid for the precious metal.
Changes to Weekly Outlook
The weekly outlook, which was already bullish, has been reinforced by recent market developments. Notably, a series of softer-than-expected US economic data, including weaker jobs data and a decline in producer prices, has solidified market expectations for a rate cut at this week’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. This has caused a further weakening of the US dollar and a drop in Treasury yields, both of which are highly bullish for gold. The previously established bullish trend is not only intact but has gained further conviction.
Immediate
Economic Events
Today’s trading will be influenced by several key US economic releases, including Retail Sales and Industrial Production data. A significantly weaker-than-expected report could strengthen the case for a more aggressive Fed rate cut, potentially propelling gold to new highs.
