The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre reported that a 4.9-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Northern California, USA, at a depth of 10.0 kilometers.August 29th - US President Trump: New York Governor Kathy Hozul supports Canada, not the United States, and Canada has been taking advantage of New York for years, especially during her tenure. Can you imagine her saying she doesnt respect or recognize "American Lakes"? This is why the "stupid Democrats" are so harmful to our country. Vote for Bruce Blackman as Governor of New York. He has my complete and utter support and will never let you down!On August 29th, CICC pointed out that Federal Reserve Chairman Warshs speech at Jackson Hole was hawkish: he acknowledged that inflation remained high, clarified that interest rates would remain the primary policy tool, and stated that he would "act as needed." He also cited economic resilience, stable employment, and loose financial conditions as evidence that current policy risks are more skewed towards inflation. He also attributed the 65-month period of excessive inflation to the central bank itself, correcting his ambiguous statement in July that "the market should raise rates in place of the Fed." CICC believes this speech helped rebuild the Feds credibility, and the market began trading on the marginal repair of policy credibility afterward. In the long term, Warsh still maintains that AI may reshape the economic and policy framework and continues to push for reforms such as reducing forward guidance. For the market, this statement increased the probability of a Fed rate hike this year, but even so, it is not necessarily purely negative. The market currently does not lack liquidity, but rather policy discipline and predictability. As long as inflation can be suppressed in a timely manner, it will actually benefit the market in the medium term.August 29th - According to the latest data released by the Nepalese police, as of 6:00 AM local time on the 29th, the death toll from flash floods in northern Nepal has risen to 616. Flash floods struck the Rasuwa district in northern Nepal on the 26th. On the 26th, the Nepalese government decided, in accordance with relevant laws, to designate some local administrative units in the affected areas as disaster crisis zones for a period of three months, in order to concentrate relief resources, strengthen personnel management, and advance post-disaster recovery work.On August 29, U.S. Central Command Commander Brad Cooper stated on August 28 that approximately 50,000 U.S. troops are currently deployed in the Middle East, many of whom are enforcing the naval blockade against Iran.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD maintains rises near $1,650 in advance of a crucial Fed decision

Gold pricing is benefiting from the US dollar's continuing weakening, as Treasury yields feel the heat of normal market concern preceding a US Federal Reserve (Fed) event.

 

Asian markets were a mixed bag, as the Chinese tech stocks-led surge sputtered and growth fears reemerged in the wake of the extension of covid lockdowns in numerous cities. In the meantime, benchmark US 10-year interest rates are returning to the 4% critical level, allowing gold prices to remain buoyant.

 

Investors eagerly await any hints of a lesser rate increase in December as all eyes remain on the anticipated 75 bps Fed rate hike decision, with Chairman Jerome Powell's press conference grabbing the spotlight. The US ADP Employment Change data will also be monitored prior to the Fed event, as it may present transitory trade opportunities. Until Friday's release of Nonfarm Payrolls, traders may take signals from ADP jobs while awaiting the Nonfarm Payrolls report.

 

Even though the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is below the 50 level, a dovish Fed rate hike might turn the tables on bears, allowing XAU/USD bulls to retake the bearish 21-Daily Moving Average (DMA) around $1,660 with conviction. Gold bulls could stretch their muscles in the direction of the high at the end of October of $1,675 while gaining vigor to target the $1,700 level.

 

On the other hand, a hawkish surprise might cause the gold market to resume its broader downward trend, with initial support likely at the current range lows near $1,680. The $1,620 round number represents the next downside limit, below which the $1,617 October low could be endangered.
