Gold Drops, All Eyes on Powell
Gold prices fell to around $3,338 per ounce on Thursday (August 21st). Gold fell slightly as the US dollar strengthened and yields rose, but the decline was contained ahead of the release of US data and Jerome Powell's speech at Jackson Hole. A "wait-and-see" stance prevented further selling from becoming widespread.
Technically, the bias remains bearish as long as intraday resistance remains unbroken. Monitor nearby support: a hawkish tone supports a sell-on-rally scenario, while a dovish tone could potentially trigger short-covering and a rapid rebound.
Gold prices were at $3,338/oz at the time of writing.
