Excluding food and energy, PPI rose 0.3%, slightly hotter than the 0.2% consensus estimate. Annually, headline PPI rose 1.7%. Excluding food, energy and trade, the annual rate was 3.3%.<br><br>Meanwhile, the Initial Jobless Claims came in at 230,000 for the week ended Sept. 7, up 2,000 from the previous period while aligning with the forecast. Dismal US data combined with the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) article on the Fed&#8217;s rate cut dilemma brought back bets for a jumbo cut at the September meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The US Dollar snapped its recovery mode and fell steeply on dovish Fed expectations, tracking the sell-off in the US Treasury bond yields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The USD also bore the brunt of the resurgent demand for the Euro after the European Central Bank on Thursday cut rates but President Christine Lagarde poured cold water on the expectations for another cut next month. The Hawkish cut by the ECB sent EUR\/USD higher at the expense of the Greenback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">These factors added to the Gold price rebound, driving the bright metal to a fresh lifetime high of $2,560 on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In Friday\u2019s trading so far, Gold price witnessed a fresh leg higher and renewed record highs at $2,568, as Asian traders hit their desks and reacted to the overnight optimism surrounding the renewed dovish bets surrounding the Fed announcements next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">However, buyers are catching their breath at the moment, as they turn slightly cautious heading into the weekend. Markets could resort to repositioning ahead of next week\u2019s Fed policy meeting, fuelling a corrective decline in Gold price. Also, the end-of-the-week flows could play a pivotal role in the Gold price action alongside the release of the US Consumer Sentiment and Inflation Expectations data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><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\/09\/image-59-1024x402.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meisheng.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-59-1024x402.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.meisheng.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-59-300x118.png 300w, https:\/\/www.meisheng.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-59-768x302.png 768w, https:\/\/www.meisheng.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-59-1536x603.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.meisheng.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-59-18x7.png 18w, https:\/\/www.meisheng.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-59.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\">As observed on the daily chart, Gold price finally yielded a breakout after closing Thursday above the upper boundary of the three-week-old trading range, pegged at the previous record high of $2,532.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Meanwhile, the 21-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), now at $2,513, continued to offer strong support to Gold buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">With the range breakout in play, Gold price finally achieved the one-and-a-half-month-old symmetrical triangle target, measured at $2,560.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Despite the relentless rise, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) still holds in the bullish territory, with room for more upside until it prods the overbought boundary. The RSI indicator currently trades near 66.50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If Gold price extends its bullish momentum, the next upside hurdle is seen at the $2,600 level, above which the $2,650 psychological level will be tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Should a correction ensue, the initial support is seen at the previous record high of $2,532, below which the 21-day SMA at $2,513 will be put to the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A sustained break below the latter is needed to challenge the key $2,500 threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold price is sitting at the highest level on record near $2,570, with buyers contemplating the next move amid sustained weakness in the US Dollar and the US Treasury bond yields.
