Gold Faces Sharp Decline After Key Data Release

8월 15일

Hello everyone, what are your thoughts on the current trend of XAUUSD?

Contrary to expectations, gold saw a steep correction yesterday. The precious metal is now trading around 3,340 USD, roughly 30 USD lower than the previous session’s high.

This drop came after yesterday’s economic data release. Both the US Core PPI and PPI m/m surged by 0.9% (well above the 0.2% forecast), signaling significant producer inflation pressure. At the same time, Initial Jobless Claims fell slightly to 224K, better than the 225K forecast.

These figures have strengthened expectations that the Fed will be more cautious about cutting interest rates, which in turn has supported the USD and added downward pressure on XAUUSD after its previous rally.

From a technical perspective, gold has lost the 3,350 USD support level and broken below the old ascending trendline, now moving under a newly formed descending trendline. The EMA 34 and EMA 89 have also reversed, further reinforcing short-term bearish sentiment.

While a corrective bounce could occur, if these bearish factors hold, sellers are likely to remain in control, with the target once again set at 3,300 USD.
