Gold Price Prediction: XAUUSD pulls back toward $1,750 ahead of Biden-Xi talks, and the Fed's pivot is anticipated

During Monday's Asian session, the gold price (XAUUSD) consolidates the largest weekly gains since March 2020 near $1,762. In doing so, the precious metal records modest losses within a bullish chart pattern that is one week old.

 

Notably, the light schedule appears to have prompted the XAUUSD retreat near the highest levels in three months. Anxiety ahead of a meeting between US President Joe Biden and China's Prime Minister Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Group of 20 Nations (G20) summit in Bali is also likely to have prompted the gold buyers to be questioned.

 

Christopher Waller, governor of the Federal Reserve, attempted to defend the bulls by stating, "Rates will not fall until there is 'clear, strong evidence' that inflation is falling."

 

Against this backdrop, S&P 500 Futures retreat from a one-month high, falling 0.30 percent intraday near 3,990, while US 10-year Treasury yields rise six basis points (bps) to 3.89%, recording their first daily gain in four days.

 

As the market attitude deteriorates, updates from Bali can provide amusement for XAUUSD traders. Any spark in China's relations with its global counterpart, as a result of China's support for Russia, should exert additional downward pressure on gold. However, the previous week's discussions of the Fed's easy rate hikes in December, coupled with the disappointing US consumer-centric data, appear to keep gold buyers optimistic.
