During the Asian session, the gold price (XAUUSD) is fluctuating in uncharted area above the crucial barrier of $1,770.00. Amid market uncertainty preceding the US midterm elections, the precious metal has moved sideways. However, the public anticipates a decisive victory for Republicans in the House of Representatives.

 

The US dollar index (DXY) is failing to surpass the immediate barrier of 107.00 as the likelihood of the Federal Reserve (Fed) maintaining its current pace of rate hikes decline. In addition, increased demand for U.S. government bonds has caused rates to plummet. In the meantime, S&P500 futures have continued their rebound following Monday's pessimism.

 

The US Retail Sales statistics will be a focal point moving forward. According to predictions, the economic data is expected to be 0.9% compared to the previous release of 0%. The core Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the month of October decreased to 0.3% from 0.6% in the previous report. The combination of a drop in price growth and a substantial increase in retail sales shows healthy retail demand.
