Gold spot and future prices early Thursday morning stand lower at 1,919 and 1,943, respectively.
Gold Price struggles to defend the first daily gains in six at the lowest level in more than a week as market players seek additional clues to defend the previous bearish bias about the bullion. In doing so, the XAU/USD traders reassess the latest United States data and Federal Reserve clues amid hopes of witnessing a soft landing in the US despite higher rates. The same joins fears of economic slowdown in other major countries to propel the Greenback and exert downside pressure on the Gold Price.
Elsewhere, grim concerns about China, one of the world’s biggest Gold customers, join the Sino-American tussles and upbeat yields to also increase the hardships for the XAU/USD recovery.
