Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD to remain in a precarious state while below $1803-$1831 – DBS Bank

Gold is attempting a tepid rebound around $1735 from five-month lows of $1688. A taut break under prior March $1677 minor double bottom remains a possibility, with XAU/USD then eyeing the $1637-$1618 support band, Benjamin Wong, Strategist at DBS Bank, reports.

Gold remains sensitive to US inflation data and taper talk

“Gold remains susceptible unless it can return quickly above the $1803-$1831 resistance band.”

“There is a fair chance a shakeout on the weight of a break of the March minor $1677 double bottom could still see the market probe towards a support located at $1637 or the $1618 Fibonacci marker.”

“The gold market would stay sensitive to inflation-driven data and US taper talk, so watch out for tomorrow’s US July CPI data.”
