Gold price forecast

World gold prices fell as profit-taking activities appeared before the annual meeting of a major central bank in the western United States at the weekend.

The annual economic policy conference hosted by the Kansas Federal Reserve will begin on Thursday evening in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is expected to announce a new Fed policy framework.

Mr. Powell's speech could give the market a new signal about how much support for a US interest rate cut in September. Currently, FED officials are divided about when to resume the interest rate cutting cycle. In addition, the minutes of the July FOMC meeting will also be released on Wednesday afternoon.

The most recent December gold contract fell by 3.6 USD, to 3,379 USD/ounce. Meanwhile, September silver prices rose $0.105 to $18.08/ounce.

Technically, December gold futures are still in a solid advantage in the short term. The next upside target for buyers is to close above a solid resistance level of $3,500/ounce. In contrast, the target for sellers is to pull prices below the strong support level at the bottom of July at 3,319.2 USD/ounce.

The first resistance level seen at the peak of the session was 3,403.6 USD, followed by 3,423.8 USD/ounce. The first support level was at the lowest level in the session at 3,368 USD/ounce, followed by 3,350 USD/ounce.

In outside markets, the USD index is rising, crude oil prices increased slightly to about 63 USD/barrel. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note is currently around 4.28%.

Notable US economic data next week
