Gold Price: Key Chart Levels in Focus - XAU/USD Technical Forecast

US CORE CPI FALLS SHORT OF EXPECTATIONS

DATA RECAP: The headline rate rose 0.4% on the month, taking the yearly rate to 5.4%, both figures 0.1ppt above expectations. The core reading, however, matched estimates at 0.2% m/m and 4.0% y/y. Interestingly, more sticky components such as shelter costs rose 0.2ppts to 0.4%. Meanwhile, transitory factors such as airline fares, used cars and apparel continued to slide.That said, with the headline rate printing above expectations, this will likely reaffirm the view that inflation is not as transitory as markets and central banks had initially anticipated.

How to Trade After a News Release

MARKET REACTION: Given the current market narrative of rising stagflation concerns, the market reaction to the release was on the whole subdued. The USD did pick up alongside US yields with gold prices dipping from intra-day highs. Now while this release will have little baring for the upcoming taper announcement, eyes are now turning towards Fed rate hikes in 2022, which as it stands, lift-off is fully priced in by November 2022. Looking ahead, eyes will be on the FOMC minutes.

    • Hi @Nate,  Unfortunately, purchasing Gold on IG isn't available, even if it's digital gold that you can buy, hold, and later sell for updated rates. However, with IG, you can trade Gold on our CFD and Spreadbet platforms using Leverage/Margin and capitalize on price differences. You have the option for spot trading or trading futures, holding positions as long as you have sufficient funds to cover your Margin. It's important to note that with spot trading, you'll incur daily interest fees for the leverage used, whereas futures trading doesn't involve additional interest fees as they are covered within our spread.  I agree that storing gold like Smaug isn't always ideal. You have to constantly worry about Dwarves, Elves, or even Hobbits! Jokes aside, you can research how to trade commodities on our platform with leverage and decide what suits you best. All the best, AshishIG
    • Hi, Placed £200 in a Gold Future deal but when it slightly goes down in value my leftover funds are being used and my equity is raised. Why are my leftover funds being used? Can I not just put everything in gold and keep a 100% equity in the deal? wont loose money unless I sell right?
