Gold Analysis December 6

6 Ara 2024

Fundamental Analysis
Gold prices continued to struggle for a firm near-term direction amid mixed fundamental signals and remained confined within a familiar range in the first half of the European session on Thursday. Persistent geopolitical risks stemming from the worsening Russia-Ukraine conflict, trade war fears, and political unrest in France and South Korea served as drivers of the safe-haven precious metal. Additionally, a weaker US dollar (USD) was seen as another factor providing some support to the commodity.

That said, expectations of a less dovish Federal Reserve (Fed) should trigger a modest rebound in US Treasury yields and limit the upside in non-yielding gold. In fact, comments from several FOMC members on Wednesday, including Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, suggested that the US central bank will adopt a cautious stance on rate cuts.

Technical Analysis
After this morning's unexpected technical decline, it seems that gold will want to fall into Nonfarm today. With prices pushing up near the 2637 area, it marks a recovery in the European session before gold is pushed back down in the US session. There are 2 breakout zones to watch at 2637 and 2643
