Kelvin Wong, senior market analyst at OANDA, stated that the narrative of a depreciating dollar, coupled with concerns about the US budget deficit, continues to support gold in the medium term. The US Treasurys announcement of expanding its purchases of older, long-term bonds triggered dollar devaluation concerns, causing gold prices to rise by more than 5% last week. Wong added, "The market is waiting for Warshs speech to gain a clearer understanding of how the Fed will respond to the current economic situation. If he doesnt provide specific forward-looking monetary policy guidance, then the markets current pricing in interest rate hikes is likely to remain largely unchanged." Geopolitically, the Qatari Prime Minister will visit Tehran to resume diplomatic mediation. The US and Iran have previously exchanged accusations, with the focus of the dispute being Washingtons commitment to increase economic pressure on Tehran through sanctions against Irans trading partners.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD cannot consolidate over $1680 as yields continue to rise

Gold reached a new daily high of $1685 following the start of the American session, but failed to hold above $1680 and fell to $1665. It continues to move sideways in a wide range between $1655 and $1685, hovering around $1670.

 

Despite increasing volatility, XAUUSD maintains its range. The consolidation occurs within the context of an ongoing bearish trend. A sustained recovery over $1680 might pave the way for a more significant bullish correction. In contrast, the loss of $1650 might initiate an acceleration initially targeting $1640.

 

Following the Federal Reserve's 75 basis point rate hike, US rates continue to rise on Thursday. The US 10-year yield is 3.70 percent, the highest level since February 2011, while the 2-year yield is 4.15 percent, the highest level since 2007. Higher yields are typically undesirable for gold bulls. In the current setting, negative news may be favorable for gold.

 

Earlier on Thursday, the Japanese government's involvement in the currency market depressed the dollar and aided the recovery of the XAU/USD pair. Nonetheless, the recovery was brief.
