Gold Remains at 5-Week High
Gold traded around $3,410 per ounce on Friday (August 29th), nearing its highest level in more than a month and eyeing a second weekly gain. Support came from a weakening US dollar and demand for safe havens amid uncertainty over the direction of US monetary policy.
Expectations for a 25-bps Fed rate cut in September strengthened after dovish signals from Governor Christopher Waller, opening the door to further cuts toward a neutral policy stance. The market awaited US personal consumption data due today, while a slightly stronger revision to second-quarter GDP growth fueled inflation concerns—putting gold on track for its best monthly performance since April.
The gold price at the time of writing was $3,411/Toz.
- Buy if the price moves within the $3,418 range
- Sell if the price moves within the $3,404 range
Resistance 2: $3,432
