Spot Prices Testing Back Above $2,000/oz

GOLD
  • The renewed greenback weakness since the Fed decision continues to underpin the rally for spot gold, with prices briefly breaching back above the $2,000 mark in recent trade.
  • Worries over the health of the banking sector continues to spur safe-haven demand for the yellow metal, potentially exacerbated by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s remarks on there possibly not being an automatic rescue for all depositors, should additional banks fail.
  • Today’s close for XAU/USD (+1.56%) will likely represent the highest close since March 2022, with trend conditions remaining in bullish territory. The breach on Mar 17 of former resistance at $1959.7, Feb 2 high, confirmed a resumption of the bull trend that started late September 2022.
  • The test above $2000.0 opens $2034.0 next, a Fibonacci projection and above here, the focus will be on key resistance which resides at $2070.4, the March 8th 2022 high.
