After a significant recovery above $1,748.00 during the Tokyo session, the gold price (XAU/USD) aims to move its business beyond $1,750.00. As the US Dollar index (DXY) has become volatile in advance of Federal Reserve (Fed) chair Jerome Powell's speech, the precious metal has attracted buying interest. This time, the Fed Chair's speech will have a substantial influence, as investors will glean hints regarding a slower rate of interest rate hikes.
The USD Index has attracted some bids at 106.60 following a decline and is expected to remain on edge as Wednesday's New York session will reveal important economic catalysts in addition to Fed Chair Powell's speech. S&P500 futures have regained a portion of their early-Asia losses. The yields on 10-year US Treasuries remain rock-solid over 3.74 percent.
Employment data from Automatic Data Processing (ADP) in the United States will be the most influential factor on the gold price. Preliminary estimates indicate that the US economy added 200k jobs in November, compared to 239k in October. The labor market data is suffering as a result of rising interest rates, which have prompted businesses to pause the hiring process due to rising concerns of a future slowdown.
On an hourly scale, the gold price is fluctuating between $1,740 and $1,760 before to the announcement of significant economic catalysts and Fed Powell's speech. The 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $1,751.00 is converging with the asset, indicating a forthcoming consolidation.
In the meantime, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) oscillates continually between 40.00 and 60.00, indicating that investors are on the sidelines ahead of significant developments.
