Gold price forecast
Gold prices increased sharply in the context of newly released economic data from the US showing a mixed picture.
New economic data released from the US shows that consumer spending is weak while manufacturing inflation is still under control. These factors are reinforcing market expectations that the US Federal Reserve (FED) could cut interest rates next month, thereby strongly supporting the precious metal.
According to the US Commerce Department, retail sales rose just 0.2% in September, well below the 0.4% forecast and almost one-third the pace of August. Although the 12-month growth rate still reached 4.3%, higher than the expectation of 3.9%, analysts said that consumer demand is clearly slowing down.
Meanwhile, the September Producer Price Index (PPI) report shows that inflation in the manufacturing stage is still quite "low". The overall PPI rose 0.3% after falling 0.1% last month, in line with forecasts. Core PPI increased by only 0.1%, lower than the expectation of 0.2%.
For the year, manufacturing inflation reached 2.7%, in line with analysts' forecasts. Although the report was delayed due to a 43-day government shutdown, previously collected data still reflected a not-so-hot inflation trend, creating conditions for the Fed to consider policy easing.
Traders are in the midst of a two-day "rain" of US economic data, with reports up to now showing a rather confusing picture.
The market saw a series of important reports: Weekly unemployment claims, long-term orders, second-quarter GDP estimates, preliminary economic index reports, ISM Chicago business survey, personal income and spending (including key inflation measures), new housing figures, DOE energy reserve reports, along with the US Federal Reserve's economic report.
Technically, the next target for December gold futures buyers is to close above the strong resistance level at the November peak of $4,250/ounce. The short-term downside target for the bears is to push prices below a solid support zone at $4,000/ounce.
The first resistance level was at the peak set overnight at $4,152/ounce, followed by $4,200/ounce. First support was $4,100/ounce and then $4,050/ounce.
Note: Gold price data is compared to a day earlier.
The world gold market operates through two main valuation mechanisms. The first is the spot delivery market, where prices are quoted for transactions and spot deliveries.
Second is the futures contract market, which sets prices for future deliveries. Due to year-end book-taking activities, December gold contracts are currently the most actively traded on CME.
