The way forward is clear, and the timing and pace of rate cuts will depend on incoming data, the changing outlook, and the balance of risks.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\" style=\"line-height:2\">&#8220;Upside risks to inflation have diminished. Downside risks to employment have increased. As we emphasized in our last FOMC statement, we are focused on risks on both sides of our dual mandate,&#8221; Powell added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\" style=\"line-height:2\">Amid these favorable fundamentals, gold prices still face upside risks, with the technical setup on the daily chart also favoring buyers. The next leg higher in gold prices is likely to be driven by the release of U.S. durable goods orders data during the U.S. trading session later on Monday.<br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e27\u0e34\u0e40\u0e04\u0e23\u0e32\u0e30\u0e2b\u0e4c\u0e17\u0e32\u0e07\u0e40\u0e17\u0e04\u0e19\u0e34\u0e04\u0e23\u0e32\u0e04\u0e32\u0e17\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e04\u0e33: \u0e01\u0e23\u0e32\u0e1f\u0e23\u0e32\u0e22\u0e27\u0e31\u0e19<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maxainasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-132-1024x402.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meisheng.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-132-1024x402.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.meisheng.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-132-300x118.png 300w, https:\/\/www.meisheng.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-132-768x302.png 768w, https:\/\/www.meisheng.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-132-1536x603.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.meisheng.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-132-18x7.png 18w, https:\/\/www.meisheng.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-132.png 1592w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The short-term technical outlook for gold prices continues to show upside risks while buyers hold firm above the triangle resistance-turned-support level at $2,470.<br><br>Gold prices have held onto an upside breakout of a symmetrical triangle that was confirmed a few weeks ago.
