Gold Weekly Review: The intertwining of the Federal Reserve's hawkish policies and geopolitical risks, can the gold price hold its support?
Recently, the Gold market has experienced complex fluctuations. Although gold prices rose after the latest inflation data from the USA was released, they still could not avoid the downward pressure this week. Spot gold closed at $2622.56 per ounce on December 20, marking a weekly decline of 0.98%. The pullback of the dollar and US bond yields provided some support for gold, but the hawkish policy expectations of the Federal Reserve continue to suppress gold prices, leading to more cautious market sentiment. Fundamental Analysis shows that the slowdown in inflation, according to the USA's latest November PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures) data, has brought short-term support to the gold market.
