US President Trump: Americans are paying higher gasoline prices, but its a "very cheap price" relative to what the US has achieved.On September 17, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced a 25 basis point increase in its benchmark interest rate to 4.25%. This is the first adjustment to the benchmark interest rate by the HKMA since 2023, ending a period of interest rate stability. This rate hike is a direct response to the Federal Reserves policy change on the same day. The HKMA stated explicitly that following the Feds policy is to maintain the Hong Kong dollars peg to the US dollar. Under this system, the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the US dollar, and Hong Kongs monetary policy must be linked to the US to ensure exchange rate stability. Despite the increase in the benchmark interest rate, the market remains cautious about the actual changes in local credit costs in Hong Kong. As is customary, major Hong Kong banks typically announce their own interest rate adjustment plans later that day after the HKMAs adjustment, with changes to the prime lending rate being particularly crucial.Multiple explosions were heard in Kyiv, Ukraine, in the early hours of September 17 local time.US President Trump: (Regarding Iran) I predict the war will end soon, and the government has transformed the United States from a “dark age” to a “golden age.”September 17th - US President Trump: "That war?

Forecast for Gold Price: XAU/USD sellers near $1,955 confluence as yields recover amid banking and growth concerns

Gold price (XAU/USD) falls $1,970 over the course of a two-day losing trend preceding Monday's European session. In doing so, the precious metal justifies the most recent revival in US Treasury bond yields and the US Dollar, while extending yesterday's U-turn from the key resistance zone.

 

As First Citizens bank agrees to purchase a sizable portion of Silicon Valley Bank, dwindling banking jitters may also be a factor. (SVB). In recent days, the XAU/USD has been weighed down by hawkish Fed comments, the pace of China's growth, one of the world's largest Gold consumers, as well as primarily US data.

 

Kristalina Georgieva, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), cautioned that "risks to financial stability have increased," prompting an investigation into Gold sellers. On the same vein, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari voiced concerns about an impending US recession.

 

US Dollar Index (DXY) prints a three-day uptrend near 103.12 as traders prepare for important inflation data on Friday, specifically the US Core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index for February.

 

In spite of this, 10-year US Treasury bond yields increased by two basis points to 3.40 percent, while their two-year counterpart ended a three-day losing trend close to 3.85 percent as of press time.

 

Moving forward, the Gold price remains on the bears' radar due to the failure of traders to overcome the critical resistance and the month-end consolidation. However, Friday's release of the Fed's favored inflation gauge becomes crucial for XAU/USD traders seeking direction.
