Gold Prices Drop Amid Awaiting US Inflation Data
Gold prices fell on Friday (August 29th), after previously posting significant gains. This decline occurred amid cautious market sentiment ahead of the release of key inflation data from the United States, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index. The strengthening of the US dollar, driven by strong US economic data, also put pressure on gold prices, which are priced in the US currency.
However, expectations of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve at its September meeting remain a key supporting factor for gold prices in the medium term. Investors are awaiting the PCE data, which will be an important indicator of future US monetary policy. If inflation weakens, gold could potentially gain a boost as a safe haven asset and hedge against economic uncertainty.
The price of gold at the time of writing was $3,407/Toz.
- Buy if the price moves within the $3,414 range
- Sell if the price moves within the $3,400 range
Resistance 2: $3,428

Support 1: $3,393
