FUNDAMENTAL
\n OVERVIEW<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gold continues to consolidate around the recent lows as traders await
\n new developments on the US-Iran negotiations front and remain wary of the US
\n CPI risk next week. <\/p>\n

Yesterday\u2019s weakness was caused by a rise in Treasury yields and the US
\n dollar after oil prices jumped following Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia,
\n including airports, while there were also reports of damage to Saudi energy
\n infrastructure. <\/p>\n

Moreover, a developing storm
\n is threatening US Gulf production<\/a> and refining infrastructure. Reuters
\n estimated that facilities responsible for around 15% of US crude production and
\n 5% of natural-gas production could be affected, while up to six major
\n refineries could face disruption.<\/p>\n

These are not really game-changing news, but they can keep oil prices supported in the short-term.\u00a0Given the light calendar this week, the price action might remain
\n rangebound unless we get a breakthrough in US-Iran negotiations or a
\n re-escalation. In the first case, gold would likely get a boost from easing inflation
\n and rate hike concerns, while in the second scenario, we could see another
\n strong selloff.<\/p>\n

GOLD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS \u2013 DAILY TIMEFRAME<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

On the daily chart, we can
\n see that gold<\/a>(CFD contract) is
\n consolidating near the lows. If we get a pullback into the major downward trendline,
\n we can expect the sellers to lean on the trendline, with a defined risk above
\n it, to position for a drop into the 3,885 level. The buyers, on the other hand,
\n will want to see the price breaking higher to pile in for a rally into the
\n 4,700 level next, with the 4,400 level as the first target. <\/p>\n

GOLD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS \u2013 4
\n HOUR TIMEFRAME<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

On the 4 hour chart, we can
\n see more clearly the rangebound price action around the lows. If we get another
\n pullback into the 4,110 low, we can expect the buyers to step back in, with a
\n defined risk below the low, to keep pushing into the downward trendline. The
\n sellers, on the other hand, will look for a break lower to increase the bearish
\n bets into the 3,885 level next.<\/p>\n

GOLD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS \u2013 1
\n HOUR TIMEFRAME<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

On the 1 hour chart, we
\n have a minor resistance zone around the 4,165 level but it proved unreliable after
\n two consecutive fakeouts yesterday. From a risk management perspective, the buyers
\n will be better off waiting for a pullback into the recent lows or a break above
\n the trendline and the 4,240 resistance to position for a rally into the 4,700
\n level. The sellers, on the other hand, will want to see the price pulling back
\n into the trendline or break below the lows to target a drop into the 3,885 level
\n next. The red lines define the average daily range<\/a> for today.<\/p>\n

UPCOMING CATALYSTS<\/p>\n

Today<\/a>we
\n have the FOMC meeting minutes. Tomorrow, we get the latest US Jobless Claims
\n figures. On Friday, we conclude the week with the University of Michigan
\n Consumer Sentiment survey.<\/p>\n
