Gold Daily | Gold Falls on Strong US Economic Data and Dollar Strength Amid Market Adjustments

【Latest Gold Price and Recent Trends】

Gold prices have recently fallen, closing at $2683.98 per ounce. This decline was driven by strong U.S. economic data boosting the dollar and reduced political risk after Trump's election victory, which diminished the metal's appeal as a safe haven.

【Technical Analysis】

Gold is trading near a key pivot point of $2684.08. A continued downtrend could see prices challenge $2668.38 and $2654.34. However, if it breaks above $2684.08, it could target resistance levels of $2696.64 or $2709.01. The 50-day and 200-day moving averages suggest a short-term bearish bias.

【Market Sentiment and Economic Background】

The dollar's strength and market adjustments to the potential impact of Trump's election on U.S. interest rates pressured gold. Strong U.S. economic data, including a rise in the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index, further supported the dollar. The Federal Reserve's recent rate cut and cautious stance on future cuts also influence expectations, with a potential December rate cut still anticipated.

【Analyst Opinions】

Analysts note that while Trump's election initially added to market uncertainty, potential economic stimulus measures could strengthen the dollar and suppress gold prices. However, if inflation concerns arise from Trump's policies, gold may benefit as a hedge. The market remains watchful of economic indicators and Fed policies to determine the next gold price direction.
