Fundamental analysis
28 August, 2023
Gold is currently trading at 1,914.00. Gold prices rallied after a rebound from the $1,904-1,903 range late Friday, rising during the opening day of the new week in Asian trading despite a lack of bullish confidence. The XAU/USD rate is currently trading near $1,914, up less than 0.10% on the day and still below the two-week high it hit last Thursday. The US dollar (USD) started the week lower, away from its highest since early June, which is seen as a key factor in gold prices. However, the prospect of further monetary tightening by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) has prevented traders from making aggressive bullish bets on gold's non-yielding price, at least for now. Moreover, the risk stimulus triggered by new measures announced by China over the weekend could further constrain the price of safe-haven gold.
